standard tuning?

[scottydrpepper]

always =)

[rachb0p]

@scottydrpepper I got a Ukulele today, and the tuning Goes GCEA , But the G is higher pitch than the A .. is that how it should be?

[scottydrpepper]

I've never seen that before. Standard tuning has the G one step lower than the A (if you play the 2nd fret of the G string it will be the same pitch as the A string).

A few questions to help me:

1. Is your G the highest pitched string?

2. Is your A the second highest string?

3. What method did you use to tune your ukulele?

obviously its g-c-e-a ;)

28 canadian dollars for mine :D its a crappy green denver uke, but great to start on!

i decided it was best to buy a cheap one so if i were to quit playing i wouldnt have forked out alot of money for it!

[Ffilc2345]

hey man that was sorta confusing you think you could give me the chords?

[Parsa9]

@rachb0p — YES, it IS how it should be. It's called reentrant tuning and is standard on soprano and concert ukuleles and many tenor ukuleles. Some tenor players will opt for a lower tuning on the G, but the high G is standard. Look for ''reentrant tuning'' on Wikipedia and also the article on ukulele. As it says in the article, the smaller the ukulele, the more likely it will have a high 4th string.

@ragdolltwisty make sure you are tuning it to GCEA for this song. I recomend buying a tuner instead of listening to something online, it works a little better. :)

good luck

Why is there no Good Riddance picking on the ukulele video it isn't that hard?!?

[MollyMalloonTheSpoon]

Your'e really great! :D It's so easy to play these chords. If you search after tabs on google, you always get these comlicated chords, but you make it so easy ^^

I got an ukulele for Christmas this year (a red one ofc) and i LOVE your torturals <3 Keep on making more!

We've been taught how to play this song in Ukulele.

And it's G-G-C-D, Em-D-C-G, Em-G-Em-G-Em-D-G.

[oahuboi63]

what kind of uke do you have?

[ragdolltwisty]

I'm having real troubles =[

I tuned my ukulele using an online tuner, and the seperate notes sound exactly as they do on the tuner, but when I try to play a chord, it sounds bloody awful.

Any ideas?

[crampssss]

Can someone list down the chords please..
