Yamaha GL1 - Guitalele Cover - Raindrops keep falling on my head
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лис 2015
- This is my first recording with my new guitalele - the Yamaha GL1, made in Indonesia.
tuning = standard guitalele tuning = A D G C E A, that means the guitalele is tuned 5 semitones higher than a normal guitar. So it sounds like a guitar with the capo on the 5th fret.
Audio recorded with Zoom H1
one of the greatest guitar vids that I've seen on youtube over the past decade. perfectly displays how to combine rhythm harmony and melody.
Wow, thank you very much!!
i love this so much i wish someone would make the tab of it . Beautiful !!
Outstanding.
I just ordered one, arriving Tuesday, and would love to learn this song.
Absolutely loved this.

Mantulll....
where do you get sheet music
cool
good jobs!
Thank you!
great stuff. as a lefty I never minded missing out on an abundance of ukes but I am really envious about the guitalele :(
+play your part - Thank you! Yeah, it's a pity they don't build a lefty version
I'm also lefty and got given a guitalele. I restrung it lefty and it sounds great! Even the intonation is pretty much spot on.
Very very nice brother
Thanks!
Hi, this is beautifully played and one of my favorite songs. Can you provide the chord chart/arrangement for this or how to get it? Thanks!
Thank you very much! I'm sorry I don't have tabs or know how to get them, I play this by ear ...
Awesome playing!
I have a question though, did you have to make any modifications to it, say the bridge or the neck to make it sound better? Or was it fine as it came?
That's just as I bought it. Even with the factory strings :-)
😍
Hi jack.. so the chord we are using on guitalele its a guitar chord or ukulele chord?
Btw nice cover sounds lovely
Thank you! We play guitar chords on the guitalele. But they sound five semitones higher (like a guitar with a capo on the 5th fret).
Beautiful, really beautiful. I just got this same exact guitalele, but I find it very hard to find a good source to learn songs and good basics. I would love to have this song as my target. Would you consider making an instructional video for this? Cheers!
Thank you very much, but I'm so sorry - I'm really not good in making tutorials ...
@@JackIsidore That's ok, just make these videos then so I have something to look up to ;)
Hi, awesome playing. I am thinking about buying this guitalele, I just want a small music instrument to have some fun. But I am a very inexperienced guitar player, is this a good choice for me, I should I look for something else?
Thank you! Hard to say - perhaps it may be a bit tricky to play because of the narrow string spacing. You could also consider a real Ukulele with 4 strings or a small travel guitar
On the contrary, I think it's even easier! I have this same Yamaha guitalele, the strings and positioning are very gentle on the fingers. I'm a pianist and terrible at guitar but I love my guitalele!!
Amazing !!!!
Tabs please !!!!
Nice
Thanks!
Do you use normal nylon strings? Like the ones for classical guitar
It's still the strings it came with from factory. I think these are normal strings for classical guitar. Next I'll try Aquila Strings, they have special ones for guitalele.
assalamualaikum i am from indonesia , nice suiiit play
Thank you very much, Ketan! Greetings from Germany!
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
[trumpet]
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head

'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
nice
Thanks!
Well done, great sound out of that little guilele or I must say is the player? Thanks for sharing
Thank you! :-)
Amazing!! May I ask if you tuned your guitalele to its standard ukulele tuning or to the guitar tuning?
Thank you! This guitalele is in standard tuning which means it is tuned like a guitar but five semitones higher.
Thanks! :)
👍👍👍👏👏👏
Thanks!
How do you play the melody and the rythm at the same time?!?!? Thats crazy im a beginner with 1 year playing and that is amazing dude
Thank you :-) just keep on playing - it took me some years to get to this point ;-)
I don't understand why 7 people would thumbs down? I mean why?
Well done. Nice.
FLEKS! I've also 1year of experience and this is not hard to play
I’ve got a different version of this, not as good but pretty decent enough to appreciate and listen. Keep strumming...
Edouard R then post a video of you playing it
i know this is kinda old but man you earned a new sub :)
it would be nice if there were tabs/you made a lesson for this!
also im looking to buy a guitalele, would you recommend the Yamaha? i think it sounds pretty good
cheers
Thank you :-)
Tabs or lessons would be difficult for me. But I can absolutely recommend the Yamaha Guitalele! I love the sound still very much, and it is a great instrument, especially for its price!
+Jack Isidore thanks man, keep up the good work
I’m dying this is so good how did u play it show us please😭😭
He shows you how to play it. Watch the video, slowed down using the video speed settings in UA-cam. But first, you'll need to learn the "pluck and chuck" technique and practice on some simpler songs to learn to play melody and bass at the same time.
GOD Bless You 🎸🎸🎸
Thank you, Luigi
Hey, I'm planning to buy the yamaha GL1 and I saw somewhere else that it can be tuned like a normal guitar too. I need one to practice on the go. I'm still an intermediate and I like fingerstyle. Can i change the strings with some high tension ones so that it's not sloppy and lose while playing? I got this suggestion from someone. I need help.
Hi, I can't imagine that this would work. The scale is really too short to do that. But I didn't try. But for practicing, why don't you use the standard tuning of the guitalele? I'ts tuned like a guitar, only five Semitones higher (like you were playing with a capo on the fifth fret)
I wish I too can play the 🎸 ☹️. Can you pls play PUMP IT from THE BLACK EYED PEAS. Thanks 👍
Great stuff. What kind of strings are on there please! Thank you.
Thanks! These were the Yamaha factory strings.
Would you be able to show how to tune to A-D-G-C-E-A please? My son is starting to learn on a 1/4 size Startone with nylon strings and I'd like to be able to tune it for him.
The the most simple way is to use a chromatic guitar tuner. This can also tune to the guitalele tuning. Or you tune the A-Strings using a pitch fork and compare: A to D on the 5th fret of the A String, D to G on the 5th fret of the D String, G to C on the 5th fret of the G String and C to E on the 4th fret of the C string ....
So nice ,,does this have special strings for it or standard classical strings ?
Thanks! These are the factory strings. Later I bought special strings by Aquila. I'm not sure, if standard guitar strings would work ...
@@JackIsidore THanks for that.
Hello It sounds so beautiful! Can i ask which string did u use? Can i know the product name?
Hi, thank you! This were the factory strings from Yamaha
@@JackIsidore thank you so much!
Incredible tone! Which strings do
you use? Aquilla red series?
In this video, I used the original Yamaha factory strings. Now I have Aquila red, which are even better.
@@JackIsidore thanks for opinion, do you have a video on which you play using aquilla red strings?
I'm not sure when I changed them. But I think would be hard to hear the difference. The good thing is they last very long and are slightly better in intonation
This is fantastic! I'm learning this but the guitar tab isn't great. Have you tabbed this? I love it!
Thank you! I'm sorry - but I'm not good in writing tabs ;-)
perhaps you can learn it from the video ...
Jack Isidore oh well. I've been watching it back and have picked up a few things already. It really is a great version and sounds so so good on the GL1. Subbed 👍🏽
go to settings bottom left of screen, your right. See the gear? That is settings, change the speed to slow him down and it will help you learn it. ;)
John Fair fantastic, thanks!!
Great performance! Please post the tabs for the benefit of humankind!
Its beatifule.Sorry my speak english is bad beacose im from poland.This is yahama gl 1 nat?
Thank you! Yes, it is a GL-1 nat.
Ok.Very Thanks
Nylon string???
Bro gave me Spider-Man 2 nostalgia
I'm thinking about getting one but the fretboard looks so tiny. Is it comfortable to play chords?
It is really tiny! It's good to have small hands. Some chords are difficult to play
Can you tune it like regular guitar? Amazing performance btw :D
Thanks! It's tuned like a guitar but five semitones higher
@@JackIsidore I know this. What I wanna know if you cane tune it like gyitar on first thread. EADGBE.
No, I think it's too small for that. But I haven't tried ...
Do you have a video tutorial on how to use and the chords to Guitalele? It is my first time to have a guitalele :) thank u
Sorry, I have no tutorials by myself. But you should know, that the guitalele plays exactly like a guitar with the difference that it's tuned five semitones higher. That says, like a normal guitar with a capo on the 5th fret. So for the beginning, you could start with every standard guitar chord, just have in mind that it sounds higher - so eg the normal guitar e-minor chord shape played on the guitalele sounds like an a-minor played on the guitar - if you know what I mean ....
Jack Isidore yes, i understood. That is what I am doing practicing the chords of Guitalele , thanks though.
That mean I do not have to change all the fingerings or any notes on guitalele? All musical notes transposed to higher tones too?
Yes - exactly! If you can play guitar, just play the Guitalele the same way - it will just sound higher
can we use guitar chords(like a normal guitar) to play on that thing ?
+zayin kate abris - yes!! 😊
Jack Isidore thanks for the reply. I see we can play it like a normal guitar but i heard that its like a guitar with capo on the 5th fret? Whats the effect of it ? 😅
The effect is, that every tone you play, sounds 5 semitones higher than on a "normal" guitar. That means, if you play a note on the guitalele that would be an "e" on the guitar, you really would hear an "a" :-)
can you tell me your note style?
hello, how much did you pay for that guitalele? well played by the way 👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much! 70€
It is a "requinto" .. it is not a "Yamaha invention" .... in Argentina it is manufactured and sold as a Gracia M5 guitar or "children's guitar" ..
how long are you learning?
more than half my lifetime ;-)
Pleaseeee teach meeee!
Do you have a tab for this?
I'm sorry - I don't have tabs
Hey Jack! What a great cover of a great song. I really like the sound of guitarleles. I would be glad if you check out my guitarlele cover. Best regards!
