[Ukelectic]

[Crumphorn]

Impressive. How long have you been playing? How easy is the uke to learn?

awesome

[LStrachey]

very nice indeed!

[Hoopskidoodle]

I can't understand all of the confusion about the tuning of that thing. Isn't it just the upper (higher pitched) four strings of the standard guitar tuning?

[KDUS]

indeed it is so, except - as explained previously in the comments - on this one the fourth string (the one that would be the lower of the four guitar strings) is tuned an octave higher, using the rentrant tuning of a soprano ukulele.

I have a baritone uke. it is tuned to g c e a. is this correct. or does it matter? any response would be great. i would like to learn to play the baritone any videos or books? thanks hwy29

[KDUS]

This is correct as long as you like it but it is a tuning more often seen on soprano, concert or tenor ukuleles ; baritones ukuleles are usually tuned five semi-tones lower, DGBE with a low D (meaning that the D is actually lower than the G) although the one you're hearing on this video is tuned high D (rentrant tuning like a standard/soprano uke)

[davidstonegmail]

@KDUS how do you get the top string tuned up that high? is it a different type string u use..?

[KDUS]

@davidstonegmail

Although I no longer tune my baritones this way, I used to string it with a Worth set of strings that a reentrant D. This was mostly to use soprano reentrant tuning techniques, and also because I wanted only full nylon strings - today Worth sells a set of "extra tension" baritone strings with a low D that works well enough, so I don't have to buy a set of Martin for the low strings every week anymore.

[davidstonegmail]

@KDUS thanks man.. Im taking (stealing ;)) a lot from ur examples! David

[signrat5]

Hey man your really good. I have just bought a baritone uke and am having trouble tuning it to the right pitch. I know its dgbe but i am not aware of the octives they are supposed to be. If you could would you post a video so i can hear the pitch for each string. If you could that would help me a lot with rockin' the Uke

Thanks

[supineny]

wow. It makes me want to dance on the bar in a spangled string bikini.

C'est le paradis.

[mercedezzz]

I beg to differ with hankpiece -- I think you're very cute! And your playing is (as always) wonderful. I enjoy videos from the KDUS clan immensely.

Superb work. You're not as cute as Mercedes, but then again few are. Keep up the awesome uke-ing!!
