    I'm so glad I watched your video cuz I found a ukulele very cheap with the fourth g-string broke so I got a new set of strings and almost broke the string again trying to tune it to the high g 😅 every tuning of ukulele video I watched was with the high G tuning

    Can I tune my TENOR to DGBE like a baritone? Do I buy baritone strings? and then should I buy a low D string or order a low D set similar to your reference in this video? to get more bass notes? BTW.... Your Low/high g video is awesome !! The most knowledgable I have seen !! Thanks

    • @kevrones
      @kevrones 9 днів тому

      It is not recommended to use tune a Tenor Ukulele with a standard Baritone, or Tenor Guitar string set. Best to get a Baritone Uke. But then all your chords will be similar to guitar chord shapes - you would not be able to follow ukulele chord charts. I'd recommend sticking to Tenor - and buy a Baritone uke. I also play guitar, and seldom if ever play my Baritone. Hope this helps. Thnaks for the nice comments. KEV

    Low G just makes sense to me. I just made a three knot at the bridge and used the lock method to wind the G nylon guitar string onto the uke. No stress on the bridge or neck, sounds great and stays in tune.

    I have made a few Ukuleles recently. Both Tenor and Baritone. I have fitted steel strings and a ghosted magnetic single pick up. I have reinforced the neck with a stainless steel rod. I was inspired by a local expert player, who plays lead in a ukulele orchestra and he wanted to project the sound better. They are all low G . As a CBG guitar Builder, your video has really helped me understand the concept of high and low G string Thanks I will recommend it to my customers.

    Great lesson buddy, Im learning the concepts of a uke because I brought my daughter an electric acoustic uke for her birthday. Im a guitarist myself and was surprised how high the g string was, compared to the other three strings. Thanks to this lesson I understand now and will be buying a set of low g strings, because I feel my daughter will be more able to learn easier with a low g. I can help her with her scales now because yes it does sound off with a high g string. Cheers.

  • @brianfergus839
    @brianfergus839 6 місяців тому

    They’re both useful. But better learn the more sophisticated four finger voicings if you don’t want to sound “droney” in the low g tuning. Open chords don’t sound as good on a low g. He really didn’t articulate this well, though he almost did (at 12:12)

      The Chords for Low and High G are identical. The strings have the same notes G C E A in Standard tuning. The only difference is the High G has a thin 4th srtring and Low G has a thicker 4th string. If you has a Baritone ukulele - then ALL the chords are different names. Thanks KEV

      You are doing great. I have ONLINE classes every Saturday for beginners Level 1 snd Level 2. Visit thetikination.com and sign up for one. I'll teach you to play like me, I was using Aquilla Round wound strinds - they have the sound I like. The problem with those is they wear out to fast and I had to replace them weekly. (I play a lot). Currenty I use Pepe Romero strings with a Low G. These are not round wound and last a long time. Keep playing!

      It's a Funky Strum! I jam with people and use this strum with different progressions. Think of strums as "Tools in your Ukulele Toolkit". All strums can be modified and repurposed. You learn one and put ot in your "Ukulele Toolkit". When you need a "tool" you look in your Ukulele Tool kit of learned techiques. Off hand without a lot of research I can't think of a song list that uses this strum. Most people can't play like Tracy. Shis unique! I do use the techniques from this strum often... mostly because its fun.

      Rock on! Learning the ukulele will really improve your guitar playing. I also am an avid fingerstyle guitarist. All the chords on the ukulele are 4-string inversions on the guitar - think of it that way when your on your guitar. For me it really opened up a whole new world n the guitar above the 5th fret. Keep playing! KEV
