Uke Questions & Answers

1 b3 5 = minor

1 3 5 b7 = dominant 7th

1 3 5# = augmented

1 2 5 = sus2

C E G = C major

C Eb G = C minor

first point I don't yet own a uke with a pick up.

I've now joined a local uke club and I am mostly keeping up.

It depends on strum pattern and what's being sung.

Sometimes concentration only stretches to one or the other. Alongside a block of ''intermediate'' lessons. Again I seem to be holding my own.

Nobody plays amped up , so that's fine.

They club does go out and about to venues to entertain, residential homes, local fetes and such like. When they do I think they generally rely on a microphone set up to amplify the group rather than any individual player.

Hi Matt -

After trying for ages to try to figure out Chord Melody on my own, I suddenly became sensible and went to basics on your course !!

I enjoyed your explanation of “Twinkle, Twinkle …” and reached a good level of understanding but when I printed out your music sheet, I noticed a slight difference between the pdfs.

On the hand-written ones you guided us toward playing the open notes on the GCEA voicing.

But the printed music sheet directed me to play the fretted G note on the E string rather than the open G.

I understand both are the same, but why the change ?

Hi, I had just acquired a Fender Dhani Harrison Signature Acoustic electric Tenor Ukulele and wonder if I could change the strings to hi G. The seller was not able to tell me if it was equipped with a low G or hi G strings. Need hep. Thanks.
