How To Play Nantes On Ukulele

Took my time to get this done. Sorry for the delay.

This is my entry for the play it forward ukulele video contest: http://ukulelereview.com

In this tutorial I show you how to play Nantes by Beirut adapted for the ukulele.

I realise I'm never the best at trying to explain things so any feedback on the tutorial would be greatly appreciated. As I improve I hope to do more tutorials on various bits but particularly other Beirut songs.

Many thanks and I hope you enjoy the video and learning Nantes as much as I enjoy playing it :3

Great video man, really! But I had one question, it's a bit hard to see, what is the difference between the first chord and the last one, i mean the place were you put your fingers?

Thanks, Sam

[Icefunk]

Thanks for that Sam :3

For the first chord, your index finger is on the E string on the 1st fret, and your middle finger will bar the G and C strings on the 2nd fret.

The 2nd chord is almost the same except your middle finger is just on the G string 2nd fret.

Hope that makes sense ;)

which string do you pluck?

[Icefunk]

Hey, thanks for asking, never thought about that bit when I did the tutorial lol.

I pluck the C string on the first chord and then the E string on the second and third chords so the notes you would get will be D, E and F.

Hope that helps

Thank you very much for this accessible and well-made tutorial. I'd have really liked a little bit more elaboration on how to do a brush stroke and a muted stroke. Do you have any tips on those?

Again, thank you.

Thanks so much for the vid! I'm new to the uke... and alls tring intraments for that matter, could i ideally keep my regular tune and just put a capo on over the first fret? I love this song and want to play it for my gf :-/. any advice?
