    Ive started to get back into ukelele, and im a bit rusty. I needed to start by tuning but didnt know where to really start bcuz my ukelele was already tuned when i bought it. This was super helpful, thank you so much from a younger player 😁

    Got a question, does it matter which way it faces you?

    • @NickRivers
      @NickRivers  2 роки тому +1

      The simple answer is no, HOWEVER, if you have the ukulele upside down you want to make sure you tune it the opposite way. Does that make sense? The first string (if holding the ukulele as you were to play it, this is the bottom most string) should be an 'A' in standard tuning and the fourth string should be a G. All the way through from first string to last string should be G,C,E,A. So if you hold the ukulele facing the opposite way it could be easy to invert this. So basically, no, you can face it whichever way as long as you make sure each string is still being tuned to the note it is supposed to be tuned.
      In case that's confusing, just match your string sounds to the string I am playing and then it doesn't matter which way your uke is as long as you are tuning the strings to the right sound!

    How do you tune it? Like make it looser or tighter

    • @NickRivers
      @NickRivers  9 місяців тому

      Turn the pegs at the top of the ukulele. Make noise on a string, then turn the peg one way and see if it’s lower or higher sounding. (Tightening a string makes it higher pitched, loosening a string makes it lower pitched). Hope this helps!

    is it possible the hole on my ukulele is too small?? cus i was looking at other peoples and mine seems smaller, the ukulele just doesn't sound right. What do you think?

    • @NickRivers
      @NickRivers  2 роки тому

      it's definitely possible that you have a smaller ukulele which may make the tone sound a bit different, however the notes are still the same :). Once you learn how to tune a uke without a tuner, this video will help with the correct notes! ua-cam.com/video/0DQkxMidohI/v-deo.html

      @NickRivers  Рік тому

      It can be really hard and not everyone will be able to tune with their ear right away unfortunately! It can take some practice. in the meantime, if you are having trouble tuning I definitely recommend getting a Snark Clip On Tuner. I have a link in my description for them (if you use my link I get a little bit of the purchase price which helps me continue to make videos).
