Well this is my first video, so be gentle. :)

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


I'm still new to the Ukulele, so this video is for my fellow newbies who might be having problems playing B or B flat.

  • are you seth rogen?

  • @vidowatcher91

    Nope Sorry, not Seth, but glad I helped.

  • man i'm still having trouble. I can't get enough pressure on the A string on the first fret

  • Look at the video at 1:58. I'm not sure if your doing this already, but to bar the first two strings with your pointer finger you should rotate it some. It is much easier to apply pressure with the side of your finger, rather tan bottom.

    I tend to rotate a finger whenever I'm barring multiple strings to help apply more pressure.

  • Thank you so much! This was so helpful and as soon as I tried it, it worked; first time! Thank you!

  • Thanks, I am having a hard time with B flat as well. Just cannot hold the A-string tight enough.

  • thank you so much for posting this. the holding tip really helped. i'm still getting a really flat sounding f but i'm gonna keep on trying :)

  • Great video. I really liked the bit where you showed how to hold the neck of the ukulele. Very important tip, and I haven't seen any other youtube video mention it. Thanks!

  • @MrAarontothemax Same here, but i don't have nearly the same amount of experience!

  • This is my first time ever commenting on Youtube...But I just wanted to let you know that this is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. Now I can play all those songs in the key of F...

    I thank you very much and I hope you are coming along well.

  • Gahh This helped soooo much! haha unfortunately, I still have to apply a crapload of pressure even with my finger on the side to get the buzzing out... And my thumb muscle thingy is really sore... newbie problems...

  • OK.. so Ive been playing for about a year.. but I keep running into this problem. anytime I play a "barred" chord (like B and Bb) the pressure I'm putting on the back of the ukueles neck hurts my thumb after a little while... Any advice? IT HURTS! I want to be able to play for hours! :]

  • less talking
