In this lesson you will learn to play a melody on your ukulele! You do not have to read sheet music. It is time to learn to play Mary Had A Little Lamb with an easy instruction and tablature notation!
Take the time to tune up properly. Because it's short, it can be quite hard to get the Ukulele for sale in uk in tune. But it has to be done. If your ukulele is out of tune, you WILL sound terrible. There are plenty of tools online to help you to do this. My particular favourite is the AP Tuner.
Record your own playing as often as you can. It's difficult to play and listen at the same time. Quite often just noticing what you're doing wrong is enough to fix the problem.
As you can see this chord is the same chord as a D major on a guitar. A little bit confusing if you also play guitar but I guess you will get used to it.
The first string on your Ukulele will be tuned to an A4 as we call it. The next string will sound like the piano key E4. The third string will be the note C4. The fourth string will be the note G4.
The standard tuning for soprano, concert and tenor Ukulele for sale is C tuning which means the four strings will be associated with the pitch of G C E A. The 4th string is G, 3rd string is C, the 2nd string is E, the 1st string is Ukulele A. That is when you strike the open string it sounds those notes. The G is tuned to the G above middle C on the piano, an octave higher than you might think. The baritone ukulele is tuned to D G B E with the sound going from low to high.
Hang it out. Invest in a clothesline (they even make indoor ones for those of you who live under HOA rules). This saves so much money. I believe it costs about $0.25 to run the dryer, plus it heats up your house, which is the last thing you want to do in the summer.
Whether you are a beginner or a pro you absolutely must have an instrument. After you have learned the proper teaching methods of the strumming and chords on the ukulele, you will be ready to get sheet music and start playing. It takes practice to learn how to play an instrument, but it is well worth the time to learn when you can entertain your friends and family doing something you truly enjoy.
