this just told me to make an impulse buy and i just did
Update: my uke came yesterday. and im learning riptide of course. how do people switch chords so fast 😭😭 the transition to g is difficult
I just did that so called impulse buying and also I can’t go anywhere right now due to lockdown still but on the other hand I think I will enjoy this👍
Mi'Ele Booker which one did you buy? is it good?
@@introtoinsight I was watching someone who does tutorials and one of her suggestion was to not depend on your index finger as your dominant finger and not to be afraid to get your ring finger in there. I'm sure you've probably already figured this trick out by now!
Haha. I came to this video with the full intent for an impulse buy.
Why does a minor chord sound happy on a ukulele.
@trollaccount ok essay man
Because of its harmonic resonance is tonaly in relation to the diminished 7ths in a common cycle or 4 bar section, as it fits within the circle of 5ths of course.
@@KeizerHedorah damn
Because it is not old and bitter.
Right?
God I want them all..
You could buy 4 and still spend less than most instruments
Fr tho
😂😂
This was the most fun review I've watched. Bravo sir
I love the sound of the baritone, I settled for the tenor I wanted a uke for the higher noise my guitar can't make, maybe I'll get a baritone in the future, really lovely sound.
Enclave I play the baritone mostly, if u get one get a Kala brand. They sound amazing
Concert is the best hehe
@@Covers-and-Commentary thank you!
thank you for helping me finalize my decision. and to the creator of this video! i'm going to get the baritone :)
The baritone sounds.... so dreamy, my goodness
I bought me about 5 years ago a KALA Solid (just the TOP is the Solid part) Spruce Mahogany Long Neck Soprano (Model: KA-SSLNG). This is excellent because it has the classic Soprano sound but a concert long neck that allows you to play more notes. Amazing little Uke!
Yes!! Just got a bari Uke last weekend and I feel like it’s SOOO much easier than guitar, but SO similar! Great for a beginning guitar player!!
What gives the uke its charistic sound is the reentrant G string, which is higher than the C and E strings.
Some people prefer to use a "low G" string so that it plays more guitar like, so you can buy sets of either.
Pavarotti 😂. I personally sport an electric Concert Lanikai with a Low G tuning. Love love love it
I mostly play flamenco/Spanish guitar and my Baritone Uke is perfect for this kind of playing and music!
I love how you play those strings. 😍
Dude awesome explanation, now I'm really interested to buy one
Great vid, Bro... Never knew there were so many options... Thanks...
Thank you so fucken much, I was so overwhelmed looking at all the different types but I’m so relieved I found this video 💛💛💛💛
I love my baritone uke’s! I use two now. Larger scale makes is so easy for full fingered folks. One is set up with standard DGBE tuning but the other is set up with Aquila 23U Strings in high GCEA tuning. Actually I’ve found that if you are using the GCEA strings, you could tune down to DGBE and it still sounds pretty good although it’s so convenient to have the two ready to go. The baritone with the GCEA strings sounds pretty amazing, especially if it’s a good mahogany or koa ukulele.
Thank you for your educational and informative video. Greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much very useful information! 🙏 Love reverb, shop on it all the time! 😄
Very informative, and interesting enough for me to watch all the way to the end. Thanks !
Quick listening comparisons:
Soprano 2:58,
Concert 4:10,
Tenor 5:15,
Baritone 6:33
Thank youuu!!
Good person, quite seriously you should receive more blue hands with thumbs up 😊
Thank you kind sir
Or ma’am, of course 😂
can someone tell me the name of the song he played on the baritone?
That did make me HAPPY.. I heard that part over 10 times, REPEATEDLY 👍👍
That's some nice strumming and love the hat!
Excellent tutorial. Thank you for making :)
Actually owned one of those gretschs. Really great ukes. Although I wounldnt go for the long neck version. The tiny bridge pulls and lifts because of the string tension. Owned one and got rid of it because of that. The regular version should be just fine.
I use my tenor for Jamming, and my Baritone for mellow playing
Since he didn't say it in the video, the U-Bass by Kala is tuned like an electric bass (E-A-D-G), has rubber-like strings, and has electronics. Also you can get it in different woods, with 5 strings, or fretless.
Excellent presentation, thank you!
Trying to get into guitars. And just found you guys and I love this video. SUBSCRIBED! lol
Ur skills are great man❤️
I love ukes! For my first one I got a Ranch brand Tenor ( it was around $70 ) so not the best quality, but it still sounds pretty good and I love it! I want to get all the sizes of uke all the way up to the ubass! They are so addicting! Once you have one, you want them all!
ooo, how long did it last you? I'm thiknin of buying one too but i cant afford to spend anything over like 80 bucks USD. Did you end upswitching or anything or if the quality hindered your learning process in any way?
Don’t worry my uke was $40 ;P
you are brilliant. Love watching and listen to you :)
0:19 already fell in love with the video
4:51 I own this tenor Uke. Kala KA-T. It has great sound, light body and a strong neck.
Thank you so much for educational video, now i know what i will give for my husband , for Valentine's Day 😊👍
Thanks! Now i have the idea on which one i should buy.
I love the fact that you don’t spend 10 min telling me what your going to tell me ❤️
Thx I needed to know what I was buying now ik what to look for
Super good video very informative thank you.
thank you! love the way you played Kala tenor and the Cordoba barritone (which would be my choice but a bit pricey)
Baritone is what ill be getting, the others seem to upbeat for me lol
Aight boy. Tabs for what you played at 3:00
Kayla is another great option. I love my kayla uke.
Yew Kah lay lee. When it comes to traditionally acoustic instruments like ukulele or sitar for example I've often found that "electrifying" them takes away much of their unique sound and that one is probably better off trying to make their guitar sound like those instruments than buying an electric version of them. There are obviously ways to amplify/mic acoustic instruments, I am specifically talking about instruments like the so called electric sitars/ukuleles.
Great video! I'm switching to uke from classical guitar bc I have hypermobile finger joints and I find it hard to press down the stings on a guitar but uke seems easier to press down the strings, at least the soprano I tried. I am actually wanting a Tenor, would you say the amount of pressure required to press down the stings on a tenor is more similar to a soprano uke or a classical guitar? Thanks!
I love you. I, also, say Ukulele rather than Ooooohkulele. I own and play a lovely baritone and hope to buy a tenor.
thank you for the video! do you have a more in-depth comparison of the models that you showed here? wow that Cordoba barritone sounded gorgeous! and I loved the tenor as well when you played it :) (so far bought an affordable donner uke which gets out of tune fast and a string popped fast). I am a total newbie here ))
Some very nice playing here
So cool!
😊
Love the baritone sound.
What's the song
@@Disposableshark1 i need the song as well
This dude is an entire vibe 🤣. I want to pick up a ukulele for my brother as the holidays are coming. Which one do you think it the average one to get for a starter?
This guy's great, really helpful too haha
5:31 - sold on the tenor!
the soprano ukulele reminded me Pokemon Rangers i don't really know which exactly pokemon ranger game but there was a Pichu with an ukulele
I highly recommend the tenor size.
Thank you for the video! I was wondering if I can get the name of song you were playing for the Soprano? Very exciting play!
And lastly we have the *BARITONE*
😂
Thank you!
i barely know anything about instruments, but i love to sing to myself, i wanted to play bass but i think ukelele's might be great for me! i love the size of a baritone tho
I would give the world to learn how to play my ukulele like I sit down and play the piano - or similar to how people would play a classical guitar. Soooo many youtube channels on here that are great for chording and singing along, but I'd sure love to learn a finger picking style to simply sit down and enjoy just playing pretty songs on my ukulele. Do you offer that? (I'm looking for actual videos that teach how to play popular songs with finger picking...)
I liked you cause you said "the correct way to say it is ooooo-ku-le-le but I'm gonna be saying 'yukulele'".
Excellent, thanks.
I love my baritone uke.
You should give it back to him...
Hey! How easy was it to learn? I want to pick up something easy then eventually move up to a guitar - even tho i love the range and versatility of the baritone, im worried the baritone is harder than the other ukes lol.
Also- can i play the cheery songs you’d usually associate with other ukes on it?
Thanks so much!!
@@kbushehri I was learning it as I was learning the guitar and a lot of it is transferable due to the set up. It has the top 4 strings of the guitar (DGBE) and if you add the capo at 5, you’ve pretty much got a ukulele sound (GCEA) so you can play songs associated with it too. It’s helped a lot with my guitar playing especially for soloing, and even for music theory. It has made it a bit hard to go back on to the guitar because I’m comfortable with the baritone and so when I’m playing the guitar, unless it’s a barre chord, and the normal open chords, I tend to neglect the bottom two strings (EA) so be aware of that. But that’s my own experience. I hope it’s helpful to you! Any other questions, just ask 😊
@@kieraflowers9928 omg thank you so much! I did not expect such a detailed response.
My hope is to one day be able to use the entire guitar including the EA strings lol. You will get there too, I’m sure.
I actually do have a few questions before I go ahead and order a baritone😊i hope you can answer them for me.
How far do you think I’d get on a baritone in say, 6 months? I hear people say they “mastered” the ins and outs of a ukulele in 6 months, im wondering if the baritone is the same way. If its not, i might want to get a regular ukulele since the whole point is wanting something easy to start with.
Also, are you self taught? If so- do you have any recommended youtube channels / resources? Im especially interested in fingerpicking, if that matters.😊
Thank you!!!
Christmas list complete
I purchased a soprano ukulele 2 years back and now I'm pretty much well versed with the chords. Which ukulele should I upgrade to? Concert or Tenor?
Me who plays banjo “ ah yes let’s look into learning ukulele.”
HareKrsna&GodBless❤️🙏
Tenor is the best! Sound and size wise! I bought a soprano which sounds dreamy already but yeah its too small and u can't play loud
What brand?
@@babynieve9612 Martin Tenor ukulele
Nice demo
Loved it
Awesome!
i'm in love
My father-in-law wanted a ukulele so I did some research and purchased a concert size.
He didn't like it so I returned it and he picked out a traveling 17 inch ukulele but decided it was too small.
Since he thought it was too small, I decided to keep it for our new grandson.... when he gets older. Lol
But I might like to practice it a little bit.
I was wondering what better strings you would put on it and which size- soprano?
I know that this is an old video but if anyone sees this please let me know. ❤
PS for some reason my father-in-law purchased another concert ukulele. I would have thought he would have tried a soprano. 🤷♀️
Hello sir joe. I hope you can answer my question. I have a soprano ukulele and im having difficulty singing with it. Does the size of ukelele depends on your voice tone? Like i have a low voice should i get the bigger size? Thanks and Godbless
Trying to find intermediate ukes on amazon Canada and am not sure which ones to look at. Not sure if I should go for the Concert which I use to have or the Tenor or even maybe Baritone. Still a beginner but want something a little more quality so I can advance nicely. Would like a more fuller sound. Any recommendations? Looking to learn to play more notes then chord songs.
Need more Joe!!!
The melody you played on the soprano, how is it called?? Where can I learn it? That's awesome
Dean ML Uke is the best!
lol I don’t give a fuck how it sounds. I don’t play uke often. It looks cool. That’s all for me.
I bought a Hula Ukes 8-string ukulele in Maui; four double course strings with both octave and unison tuning.
Double the torture then...
@@soundknight not really. I'm not a fan of ukuleles by any stretch, but being in Maui it seemed appropriate to give one a try, and when I saw the 8-string, and heard how it sounded more like a mandolin than the usual thin ukulele sound, with the mellow tone from the nylon strings, I was impressed.
Amazing
ok,so I wanna buy my first ever ukulele and plan to keep using the one for quite a long time,now which one should I buy between the tenor and the concert?
The one Ry Cooder uses :)
What did you play in the Soprano? (The first one)
Scale length is different than over all length. A soprano is typically 21 inches long all together while the scale length is the length the strings are able to vibrate and be played, nut to saddle.
Hi can you recommend a Uke in the $100 -$120 USD range, decent build quality, with a thinner next, as I have small hands. I would prefer non laminate, as I heard that the laminate neck ukes tend to be stick especially in humid climates. Thank and any advice appreciated.Prefer a concert uke
I shall tenor one😊😊
I'm looking to play mxmtoon songs mostly, does anyone know what would be best for that?
Connor Shepherd she uses the Luna ukuleles and I would recommend a concert type :)
I love her
From playing some of her songs, she uses a mixture of concert and baritone ukuleles, also a lot of guitar.
a soprano or concert use would be great and wood will sound nicer
i have a concert size ukulele and the mxmtoon songs sound great on it
Did you know there are $1500 uke's? Was at a custom uke shop in hawaii.... great info, I'm interested in getting an ukulele but didn't know what kind to get
"Is it a bass ukulele"
The Kala U-Bass is actually a contrabass ukulele. RN the only company that sells a "true" bass ukulele is Luna, and I can only assume it's because nobody wants them. I mean I do but I'm nobody.
Contrabass tuning is the same as a bass guitar, while bass tuning is the same raised by an octave. That makes it the same as the bottom four strings of a guitar, which you may also know from the CBG world as "arkansas tuning".
If you want a bass uke but you don't wanna buy from Luna, you can buy a contrabass from kala and restring it with guitar strings, though if you want that change to be permanent you'll want a professional luthier to replace the nut so that you have an appropriate action.
Can u teach us the chords of those riffs u played for the soprano and the concert
Also does this guy play any music or have anyone albums out? He’s good!!
How is the song called that you played on the bariton ukulele? It sounds so beautiful :)
wanna know too
seriously i need to know
I would like that as well
Gotta know
I Just bought tenor ukulele today and i began with chepest i cant wait. I'm a beginner. Why is it deeper ?
Ukulele (ooh•koo lēh•lēh)
not lay•lay, not lay•lee. It’s pronounced “lēh•lēh”
Otherwise, great video! 👍🏽👍🏽
kahiauandkeeaola808 I’ve always wondered how to pronounce it, thanks :)
💯
Lay Lee is more English pronunciation ??
Google telling me it's yoo
·kuh
·lei
·lee.......
i could swear it was you killed hailey
The Baritone Uk sounds a lot like a classical guitar. It also doesn't seem far off from a 3/4 scale acoustic.
What song were you playing for the concert uke 🥺
The fender zuma is good but it comes with bad strings, it sounds great if you replace them with Aquila nylgut strings
Hi can you please help me choose between concert with soild top and bone or tenor but laminate wood? I prefer fingerstyle playing
That baritone song got me dancin
Does anyone have any good ukulele music suggestions to listen to? I love the sound of the uke!!
can someone help me what song he was playing on the soprano ukulele 2:57
