    Transitioning from the violin to the guitar is pretty hard for me, so I settled for the ukulele :) best thing ever!

    • @Atrionix
      @Atrionix 6 років тому +2

      Tbh the transition would be the pretty much the same for guitar or ukulele.. they both have the same principles... u should’ve chosen guitar since it has fuller sound and it more authentic IMO

    • @paulapueblitolopez5858
      @paulapueblitolopez5858 6 років тому +5

      B3kwags: they share most of the basics but definitely not the same principles. If that were to be true, then what's the darn difference between these two? The ukulele is drastically smaller than a guitar, in fact it's roughly the same size of a full size violin! Let's not forget about the fingerboard; it's not as wide as a guitar's, and the chords are easier to play. A F chord on the uke is simpler than that on a guitar. Furthermore, playing an instrument with 2 extra strings than what you're normally used to is challenging. Yeah, I agree that the guitar sounds far more wholesome, but the ukulele helped me transition to said instrument! I have no regrets in buying and investing time into this fun little uke :)

      Hey I know this comment is old but Mandolin has the same tuning as a violin, it's just picked instead of bowed, so it might be an easy transition.

    Transition from being an uke player to a guitar player is very challenging for me . In my first journey in learning ukulele i really love watching your tutorial because some of your tutorials are very easy to learn so after few months i bought a guitar since i often like challenging myself more.There are times that i almost give up but after two months I'm proud to say that i can strum without looking at my fretboard. Thanks a lot 😘

  • @coccomotion
    @coccomotion 4 роки тому +9

    I find it helpful to realize that the strings on a ukulele are tuned up a fourth from the top four strings on a guitar. That’s why a G has the same chord shape as a D on the guitar. A ukulele is like a guitar with a capo on the fifth fret, missing two base strings, and the fourth string up an octave. That might be confusing to some, but I find it helpful when transposing songs.

  • @6754bettkitty
    @6754bettkitty 5 років тому +35

    To convert a guitar into a ukulele, just put a capo at the fifth fret and play only the bottom four strings.

    • @mewingmanda
      @mewingmanda 4 роки тому +2

      if you put a capo on your guitar on the 5th fret then the bottom four strings are tuned the same as the ukulele. the only difference is that the G string is an octave lower, but still pretty similar.

    I transitioned from Violin to Ukulele. My friend and I started playing at the same time 2 months ago, except she didn’t do Violin before. Yesterday I asked her how her progress was going with uku, I can officially play uku. I can transition, do bar chords and the whole shebang. My friend gave up because it hurt. I am so grateful that my parents forced me to play violin so that I could skip the pain and didn’t lose inspiration like I did with Violin.

Luckily after having lessons for around 6 months, they let my get a new one for my birthday, and let me tell you, it was phenomenal having the action not 6 inches from the fretboard lol

    I know this video is 3 years old but I'm commenting anyway,
    I just bought myself a fender telecaster ukulele!!
    I've always liked the idea of playing the guitar, especially electric guitar. But when I tried to learn, my fingers hurt too much and I gave up (I didn't buy a guitar, my mum plays)
    Last year I pucked up my mum's ukulele and it made me so happy, I didn't even get much pain in my fingers.
    I hope to play the guitar in the future, I like the idea of getting a matching guitar to my telecaster uke 😂

You made me feel better using fingerstyle haha. Happy holidays. 😊

    @zeldaluver64 5 років тому +2

    There's an instrument called the Guitalele (which is basically a hybrid between the guitar and ukulele) and if you were to play one, you would notice that ukulele and guitar are actually extremely similar, and that a ukulele IS basically a guitar but only with the bottom 4 strings, 4 frets higher, and the top string of a ukulele is actually an octave higher than on guitar. That's why a G on the ukulele looks the same as a D on the guitar... and almost all of the chords do that if you just add the top two strings... EX: C in uke is actually G on guitar, F in uke is C on guitar, Am on uke is Em on guitar.... and honestly you can play the ukulele on guitar if you put a capo on the 4th fret and make sure not to play the top two strings

    Omg TYSM i've been learning guitar and it's so much harder than the uke (but that's kind of obvious lol). Most of this stuff i'm pretty familiar with, but the video was still helpful regardless. Great advice! Thanks boo!
    Also, i hope you'll start making some more guitar tutorials!! I miss those! :)

    Honestly, other than the fact that two instruments are more expensive than one instrument, I see no reason why anyone wouldn't learn both. The techniques used are so similar that learning both isn't really much of a hassle. And since they both have their strengths and weaknesses, and their different sounds, having more tools in your arsenal as a musician is almost never this easy.

    1-4 strings on a guitar at the 5th are the same as a ukulele. However, the g is an octave down. That's why some chords look very similar.

  • @Itsnotme28
    @Itsnotme28 5 років тому

    I love playing guitar it makes me so happy I spend hours on my guitar and I take guitar lessons and soon in the future I want to start playing ukulele I have very small hands even though my hands are flexible so my guitar teacher gave me a different chord sheet and it said ez chords for small hands so for example when you play G chord on guitar it’s uses like 3 or 4 fingers and on the ez chords sheet the g chord is only 1finger on the third fret or for Em chord you don’t use any fingers and when you play ez chords you only play the three bottom strings and my guitar is half sized half steel and half nilon so ya

    I first started playing guitar and it was difficult at first! But when I get used to it, its easy. I just cant play barchords yet since I started playing the guitar this summer. I tried playing the ukulele although I still prefer guitar even though the ukulele is easier than the guitar. When you play songs on the ukulele, the song isnt that great for completing it. The guitar fit for all of the song music.
