    An excellent, very easy to follow ( appropriate speed) intro to this instrument. Might take me a little time to adjust from GCEA to bari but has excited me - even at age 80!!

    Thank you, Kevin. My beautiful mom just passed at the age of 91. She left me her Baritone Ukulele. I remember playing this as a child. I love the sound. I am looking forward to watching more of your beginners videos.

    This is perfect for someone like me, who has never played any musical instruments. It’s exactly what I was looking for, everything from how to hold it properly, to some chords where you feel like you got this. Looking forward to the next lessons.

      @@oOcitizenOo I bought cheap ukulele for my kids in general store 3 months ago (soprano version). Kids got bored with it fast so I started to play on it. When was looking for yt tutorials I realised that something like Baritone ukulele exists. I loved the warm sound of this instrument since the first moment I heard it. A month a go I bought one. I also considered buying tenor for a while but the tuning of baritone is better for what I like to play.
      I'm curious, have you bought anything?

      @@AllForUke Kevin, I watch uke sites most of every day, or is that "I watch uke sites every day for most of each day"? The first thing I noticed in most of them are all the ukes arrayed behind the OP. They all seem to have several, some, a dozen or more, so I guess I won't be too ashamed to tell you all that after only 0ne month, I now have 5 ukes, 3 tenors and 2 baritones. HAHAHA The Baritone I mentioned last week, my first, is a Kmise Baritone. And do not blow off Kmise and say "who". From what my untrained ear can detect, the Kmise sound better than brands like Kala and Oscar Schmidt. I own all 3. The real difference is playability. The other Baritone, a Zirikote Kala, has more finger room on the neck and is now my go to baby. It makes learning the chords fun and easy.
      BTW, if you check your websites hits, you'll probably notice I am here for hours every day. I have checked out everyone else's sites too, but, yours is most informative and I learn more here. I wish I could afford lessons.

    Thanks good video. Just got a baritone, was trying t tenor but fingers to squashed, find the chords on the baritone much easer, fingers much more relaxed. I am a slow learner so would be nice if you could put a print out of the chords and strumming pattern, that way I could just look at the sheet and practice , practice till I get it, and go over and over each lesson with out having to use the computer all the time,, I can learn but because of mental problems it takes me much longer than most.

    Excellent video. I am actually coming from the other direction. I have been a basic guitar strummer all my life. Nothing fancy just something to accompany me when I sing. Being 71 now, arthritis has made it a little harder to play the guitar. SO, I thought I would try uke. I went to a music store and tried a few out. Normal uke(Soprano, Tenor, Concert), not with these fat fingers, So I bought a baritone.. The good news is that I don't have to worry about tuning, in fact it is easy with two less strings to worry about, With good news, there is always bad news. I know how to play those chords with 6 strings, but, there are those pesky two less strings getting even, teaching this old dog new tricks with my left hand and trying to do it with only 4, is fun. Watching you work thru this and following you will be a big help. Thanks for the video.

    Well my new Baritone came, but I am struggling with some of the cords like D 7 for example. To get straight down on the strings you must bend your ring and middle finger. My arthritis does not allow that. Is there a splint I could buy that would hold those two fingers at a bent angle? I just want to be able to play a few simple songs, but I'm going to need help.

      I'm a newbie, but if I understand correctly, the shapes are the same, but names are different. I think if you played a standard uke song on a baritone it would still sound the same, but in a lower key. I just bought my first uke today, a baritone, so I may be wrong. It would be great if someone could confirm this.

    I'm excited to learn how to play the baritone ukulele that a friend gifted to me. I love the vibe of your video. As someone who is 100% unfamiliar with its cords and strings though, I would find it really helpful if your camera shot showed an upclose shot of the finger positions you're talking about. I'm not really sure what you're doing up top there. Is your finger pad on just one string or is your finger laying across all the strings, etc? Hopefully I'll get the hang of this.
