ukulele update

[dakegra]

so, Adventures With A Ukulele continue apace. I think I've got it more or less tuned in, which I'm quite pleased with considering I've never picked up an instrument in my life.

I can now play a C. Which is DIFFERENT on a baritone uke than a soprano one. Grr.

Finding chord charts for a baritone uke was only slightly complicated, ie. having to type 'baritone ukulele chord charts' into google, rather than just 'ukulele chord charts'

heh.

I tried playing D next. How in the name of all that's shiny do you get that finger up there^[1]?

What I need is something which tells me which finger to put where^[2] to get the appropriate noise.

I also should probably go buy myself my own. It is rather fun. Probably go for a soprano/concert rather than a baritone, this sounds a bit too guitar-y for me.

D? 0-1-2-1?

Fingering will feel hard and awkward at first. I used to think barring was the end of the world, now it's perfectly natural. Just takes time and practice.

That is a most excellent choice of instrument you have made, Dave! Neat!

[dakegra.livejournal.com]

thanks! Really glad I borrowed neighbour's first, gave me a good idea of what to expect, what I really want out of it.

Now, to the music shops!

When I've felt musically inclined, I've looked at http://www.chordie.com/ for chord charts.

Not all their charts are in chord format, but many are.

There is an option on the right to select your instrument (Ukulele D-tuning, I guess), and it will show you the fingering for each chord used.

[dakegra.livejournal.com]

can't see the link to choose your instrument...


really tempted to go for the soprano uke, makes finding chord charts/tutorials *so* much easier. ;-)

[rpdom.livejournal.com]

Here's an example (http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.lindesign.se/uwp/guitar/l/lynyrd_skynyrd/free_bird.pro?=&1944-06-06=always&transpose=&tuning=DGBE) with the Tuning set to "Baritone Ukulele". Not all their chord listings have this option.

Also, if you do get a chord book, you'll find that many of the chords have alternate fingerings. It might be easier for you to play a D another way.

FWIW, I've had a go at playing this one on the mandolin. That is quite tricky, but I got something vaguely recognisable out of it :)

For learning, a cheap Mahalo soprano uke from ebay is fine as long as you retune it every time you play. Once you get the hang of it you can get a quality one.
