    I’ll be honest I’m genuinely trying my best to learn uke, I’ve been playing since June of last year. I’m able to use some chords but it’s the basic chords ya know. I’m trying to learn more of the fingerboard so I don’t feel like I’m playing the same stuff. This confused me not saying anything about your teaching by any means. From the comments you’ve helped a lot of people. Is this technique the simplest it gets? I’m just trying to learn. I want to be able to come up with crazy cool songs but I have to learn more first. If anyone has anything tips or suggestions that would be awesome. It might’ve just been me having a hard time understanding the diagram you used. Anyways thanks for reading if ya did!

      Honestly, this is probably a bit of a leap if you've been playing less than a year, and it certainly isn't simple stuff. If you're looking at going further up the neck, this video might be more useful.

    This is very helpful for me, a new player, thank you.
    I realise that it may be the convention, but, to me, the keyboard appears to be upside down and that adds a level of complexity in understanding where notes are and how they are combined to form chords.

    • @PhilDoleman
      @PhilDoleman  10 місяців тому

      Thanks. Yes, this is the way it tends to be shown, as if the uke is on your lap, rather than in a mirror. That way, when you come to use tablature (also shown this way), everything matches up.

    Agree that a c chord is the same on the guitar and ukulele and piano however there are transposed instruments like a saxophone. I've run into this trying to play guitar with my niece that plays Sax

    • @PhilDoleman
      @PhilDoleman  Місяць тому

      Absolutely, I have frequently had to play in more awkward keys, like Bb and Eb when playing with horn players. If they are playing from a score written for sax though, then the transpostiton with gave been 'corrected' for example, the Real Book (jazz standards fakebook) comes in different editions, you buy the one that suitayour instrument and when you play together everything matches up.

    Thanks for another clear and easily followed lesson. I am practicing moveable chords on my bari uke but it isn't much fun. To make practice more enjoyable I have been trying to dig out some jazz songs, each of which can be played with only small range of these chords, but it is proving difficult. Your "Please don't talk about me when I've gone" video provided me with one for the first time. Could you perhaps recommend some, or even demo a few by video sometime?

    Loving this! My only question is when there is 2 notes the same in a chord can one of the duplicates be left out? For instance the nasty Bb? Thank you so much for this, really a BIG help!

  • @donnalee5145
    @donnalee5145 3 роки тому +1

    Hi Phil, hope I can ask one more question? What would be the reason for leaving duplicate notes in a chord when it is so much easier to play without them?

    • @PhilDoleman
      @PhilDoleman  3 роки тому

      It depends on whether the duplicated note is exactly the same, or in a different octave. A one-finger C chord, for example, has two C notes, but because they are an octave apart they will add to the sound, make the chord sound 'bigger' and fuller. Low G tuned ukes often have the duplicate notes an octave apart. On a high G uke we frequently get an identical duplicate note. Most of the time we keep them in because they allow us to strum all 4 strings without trying to mute one of them.
