Yes another High G Low g question... Hopefuly this might be my/the last one!!!
A couple of weeks ago the guy at my uke store told me I should make one of my Tenors a Low g, he gave me a wound string and I went home... well I have been playin it using the same lesson books, same songs, same fingerings and chords not knowing the difference.
I do know it sounds different and normaly uses a wound string, is normaly found on a Tenor but can be on found on Concert's, Sopranos and since you can GCEA a Baritone you could have one of those as Low g too I suppose.
Then this reply was made to a thread I answered
http://ukuleleunderground.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5808
"I just checked out a few sample pages over on Sheet Music Plus, and it looks like the book is all about low-G ukes (those "sixths" would really be "thirds"--and vise versa--on an high-G).
Is this true? Would a re-entrant fella such as myself get much from the book?"
it made me wonder... It will be a week till I see my Instructor so I am turning to the great UU Hive Mind for answers.
So just what is the difference?
For this g = Low g, G = High G
Is g re-entrant tuning?
I know there are g scales and G scales.
I see on some of Dominator's Uke tabs that some are written in g some in G. Do you have to have g songs to play g or will any song work?
Are there g chords and or do normal chords work?
Are there fingering patterns for only g?
How do you tell if a peice of sheet music is g or G?
The answers I am looking for need to come from those with the experience to answer clearly and correctly.
Please no posting of "I like/don't like g/G" and the such...and please if you don't know an answer don't wing it.
Thanks to anyone that posts!!!
This thread could be the place for those beginners like myself to post/find the answers to those Low g questions with out having to search(for those that use the search) and read thru a bunch of threads that come up without any meaningful infomation.
