    this is a dumb question but how hard do you press on the strings while doing the chords? I feel like I'm pressing too hard because it sounds like the strings aren't vibrating as much as they should

      Alexandria King your either not puahing down on the strings or chords hars enough or your pushing on them to hard

      Alexandria King ok then let go a little bit of the strings but not to much or else you'll here a buzzing sound... also on a fret u wanna make make sure ur pressing dow on the middle of the fret... not the line on the bottom

    This tutorial helped me so much! I just got a ukulele today, and I had absolutely no experience with stringed instruments at all, but I was eager to learn. This tutorial really helped me understand the basics, thank you!!

      Rui Camba Yeah! Everything but strumming with your index finger. I tried that, and felt like I was about to rip all the strings off, so I stick to using my thumb. And the strumming pattern "down, down up, up down up" was hard at first to not pluck off the strings, but practice really did help.

    This is very "doable" for children as young as 4 or 5, and if they learn to sing with it, their ear and singing voice and rhythm is being developed very early. Can you imagine the potential abilities in all forms of music later? Especially if they start that young!

    I bought my ukulele in Indonesia...it has steel strings...not nylon ...I can tune each string to the correct note using a tuner app via microphone ....but when I play chords it doesn't quite sound accurate ...could this be due to the steel strings ?? Thx!

    I just bought a ukulele yesterday I tuned it, played for a bit and then half n our later it was slightly out of tune I thought that's probably normal strings have to set and what not, so I tuned it again and played some more I later went home and wanted to play some more it's been an hour and once again it's out of tune, so I tuned it and played it's the next morning and once again out of tune is this normal??

    • @KcKc13
      @KcKc13 Před 7 lety +1

      Low-quality Jay It's been a month, so it's likely you've found the answer out already, but yeah, it's normal. I just got my ukulele today, and it's already been tuned three times in a few hours. The strings should hold a tune after a few days, apparently. :)
