Exactly. If I play a song from the Daily Ukulele with my baritone and play the notes and chord diagrams exactly as they’re written for tenor, the song will sound fine, just in a lower key.
Mr. Madsen, I don’t mean to offend you, rather just enlighten you. People shouldn’t buy both books. One or the other. Which chord names do you wish to know, the tenor or the baritone? If you know the tenor names and wish to learn the baritone names, profit from both books but you could do it in your head, if you know how far baritone tuning is dropped from tenor tuning. You need to study music theory. Madsen, you just don’t understand it.
I've been playing 60 years steady. I can play with any group in any type of music in any key. You're right I don't know much about music theory. Everything I've learned was thru playing with groups. No one in the Beatles can read music either but play pretty good.I bought the tenor book and gave to a newbie and bought the bari book to play along with him. Was just surprised the book wasn't transposed to fit his tenor book. I don't think that was outrageous expectation. I love the guys who can do the music theory but can't play a lick cause they have no soul, just technique theory. We can leave it at that. I think you play very well but don't disparage those of us who can play anything by ear either.
Handshake and a thumb's up. Again sorry to hijack the thread.
