Menuet by Dionisio Aguado for Classical Ukulele
Composed by the esteemed 19th-century Spanish composer Dionisio Aguado, this piece in D minor showcases melodies that beautifully outline Bb7, A, F, and C7 chords. When not using the barre chord technique, I often recommend using different fingers when playing notes on the same fret across strings. This piece begins with this approach: the left hand’s 2nd finger plays the 4th string, followed by the 3rd finger on the 3rd string, effectively outlining the D minor chord. This technique is invaluable as it provides greater sustain compared to using a single finger to jump between strings.
In terms of structure, measure 8 directs you to repeat from the first full measure, then proceed through measure 7 and transition to the 2nd ending at measure 9. Pay attention to your right-hand technique: the thumb (P) is responsible for playing the 4th string and occasionally the 3rd string, while the index (I) and middle (M) fingers also play the 3rd string. Adhering to these fingering suggestions will enhance your technique using the PIM combination.
Experiment with dynamics to bring out the musicality of the piece. For instance, play measure 5 with more volume than measure 1 as the phrase repeats, then apply a decrescendo from measure 7 through to the 1st and 2nd endings. Begin measure 10 with full volume, gradually softening with a decrescendo as you approach the final two measures to conclude the piece gracefully.
This piece comes from our book Graded Repertoire for Classical Ukulele: Volume 2. The book has around 50 pieces of classical masterpieces carefully arranged for low-G ukulele in a progressive order. Starting with simple famous melodies like Bach’s Minuet you progress step-by-step all the way through to classical favorites such as Faure’s Pavane and Asturias by Issac Albéniz.

Fernando Sor Study in B minor for Low G Ukulele: Lesson
Переглядів 889Місяць тому
This famous study by Fernando Sor originally was originally written for classical guitar. Sor places a beautiful melody on top of a series of arpeggios in the key of B minor. This challenges the right hand to keep the arpeggios flowing, while also bringing out the melody with good voicing. Right-hand independence is a necessity to make the phrasing smooth. Jeff’s ukulele arrangement of Sor’s St...

      The ending is a part of the original composition from the Renaissance era. It was typical to change meter at the end of a piece. This shifts from 3/4 to 4/4.

    I used to play a very little bit of basic guitar (decades ago) and am considering taking up the Baritone Uke - to accompany a female jazz vocal trio I sing with. I have a very old small guitar I just got working and am trying to decide whether I try to get back to guitar (could never bar chords successfully) or get 'proficient' more quickly with a Baritone. Any suggestions?

    I tuned my tenor as a baritone (but with a high 4th string) because I sang with a 6-string guitar accompaniment and wanted to be able to play the same accompaniment on the ukulele without pain. (Because the tuning of the 4 strings of the guitar and baritone is the same.) Now I'm wondering: do I need a baritone? Or maybe it's better to buy a soprano and learn the original tuning?😊

    I’m working my way through your Fernando Sor book and am truly having a blast! I love how the studies increase with difficulty as you progress - my skills are developing quickly. Also, I spent all Christmas season playing through your finger style Christmas book (Sugar Plum Fairy will have to wait until next year 😂) I’m so glad I found you, Jeff! I’m a piano player that’s become obsessed with the Ukulele over the past few years - and your wealth of knowledge and style of instruction have been invaluable and inspiring to me. Just wanted to say thank you and please keep it up, sir. 🫡

    Muchas gracias, pero no me queda claro qué hacer cuando cambias de cuerda. ¿Con qué dedo paras la cuerda que acabas de tocar, con el mismo conque la has tocado o con el otro dedo? Es decir, si tocas la primera cuerda con el índice y la paras con el medio y luego quieres tocar la segunda cuerda, ¿la vuelves a tocar con el índice? No me acaba de quedar claro

    What are the open string tunings on the ukulele? Many thanks

    • @UkuleleCorner
      @UkuleleCorner Місяць тому

      Hi Joan, the standard tuning is GCEA. The "G" is sometimes a low G, meaning, lower in pitch than the C. We call this "Low G" tuning. When it is higher than the C (one octave above the Low G) we call this "re-entrant" or "High G" tuning. Baritone ukuleles are tuned DGBE from low to high. Here are a couple of blogs with all of that info in more detail! ukulelecorner.com/high-and-low-g-tunings-on-ukulele/ ukulelecorner.com/tenor-vs-baritone-ukulele/
