hey, cool song at the beginning ;-)

what is it's name or do you have tabs?

[JohnnyElsewhereTV]

@MrHeyHoh It's called "Classical Gas."

I like it..Just a few questions. I am a Uke player and I don't know guitar cords. Do you just play it as a regular guitar using C,G,F cords or do you have to change them since it is tuned differently? You said 5th fret on a guitar, someone else said 4th fret. So if I capo a guitar at the 5th it will sound like the guitalele? Cheers

@Keithava I've been playing guitar for 16 years, and ukulele for 7 years. It's like playing a guitar with a capo on the fifth fret, like I said in the video.

The chord shapes are exactly the same on this a sa guitar, but like you mentioned, the chord names are different.

If you were playing a C chord on the guitalele, it would be an F chord; a G chord would be a C chord. Etc.

Hope this helps!

[MrYuriMee]

Uno perfekto man! You've explaned the best. I'm gonna by the Thing!))

[Keithava]

Thanks it helps..I got it wrong. It is like you said. 5th fret on guitar and if you start the song on guitar with a C chord you would use a G chord or up 4 frets to play with other guitar players. I just ordered one and can't wait to try it out. I got to check out your other videos. I see you have a finger picking video, have you thought about doing other Ukulele and Guitar videos? Thanks again..I like the video
