Ukulele Lesson - Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star Instruction



I'm sure you can all remember the shrill or the beautiful notes from the recorder and the screeches of waxed horsetail on those violin strings, lest we never forget. Were those the only instruments that we could learn in school? I remember my times in the recorder orchestra being accompanied by a couple of Violins - I was so proud at the time - I only recently discovered how "interesting" it sounded when I was dragged by my sister to my nephews first concert. I'm so glad I took the ear plugs.

As you can see Ukulele for sale in uk this chord sequence you have one note in common in the A-minor chord and the F-major chord. I suggest that you keep your left hand middle finger down on the second fret on the fourth string as you move from Am to F.

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.

It is of course preferable to use a tuner or piano or tuning fork in Ukulele tuning but it is not necessary to tune exactly to the concert pitch if you don't play with others.

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 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.

As the years marched on, we find ourselves in 1986 and me in Kansas. I was the proud owner of a Gibson ES 335, the guitar of Larry Carlton, BB King and Alvin Lee. This was without question the finest guitar I had ever owned... the finest guitar I have ever played to date.

Now you can play a Christmas melody on your ukulele. The ukulele tab notation I have used is good for finding Uke the notes but I recommend you to learn the melody by heart so you can play it anywhere without the need to read on a piece of paper you will not find anyway!
