@LAPUbutsekikMAG Thanks! I was inspired by Keith Chappell (Keefchap). If you look him up on youtube there should be a link to the tab. It's really fun to play

Truly virtuoso playing - so effortless! This and Dracapally's 'Carolan's Receipt' inspired me to get a GL1. Very happy with it so far but it's difficult to keep it tuned. I've set it DGDGAD to learn this but the 4th string breaks repeatedly (I use D'Addario EJ45s) - it only lasts about 2 days each time due to constant need to tune upwards. Any similar experience of this? Could do with a tip on the best strings to use - something for harder tension, perhaps? Thanks for a top top clip. More! More!

@cathalwhelehan . Hi, thanks very much for your kind words. I think i used some d'addario nylon strings - normal tension. I've not had any problems with the tuning so not quite sure what's going on there. If It carries on I guess it may be a problem with the tuning pegs. Will try and record something soon.

This is beautiful.. I'm totally sold on the GL-1 now.. I was going to buy a baritone uke, but you can play this like a guitar! Did you need to put standard guitar strings on it? Or did you just tune the uke strings?

I'm learning this tune too..

Thanks!

Thanks very much - it's a sweet little instrument. I put some standard classical strings on it.

That was lovely. I play this on the harp, but it sounds equally nice on the guitarlele :)

You have given me a great present idea as to what to get for my boyfriend for the holiday. He was already interested in getting a parlor guitar. Do you know if the guitarlele is a similar size as a parlor guitar or is it smaller?

beautiful

This should be an advert for the yamaha gl1. I was looking for a sound sample. This sold me. Truly beautiful.

[johndrummond]

This is great! I can't believe a 60 quid instrument can sound like this.

I can't find the tab anywhere though!

Superb playing and a beautiful arrangement.

I'd love to try it on my guitalele. Can you provide a link to the TAB please? It seems like the TAB has been removed from Keith Chappell's channel.
