    A student of mine is doing "Unforgiven" and "Nothing else matters" on the Ukulele. Sounds surprisingly well, especially with an added rhythm guitar.

    It looks like you chose a soprano ukulele, I think a tenor might have given you a better tone and playability. You will also have a broader selection of linear strings low G rather than reentrant tuning standard on ukes.

    Given the Ukuleles tonal restrictions (and it being at least an Octave too high compared to Guitar), I thought this was pretty cool. The songs are recognizable and “fun”, which is why the Uke is such a fun instrument.

    • @MichaelSotoCE
      @MichaelSotoCE Před 2 lety +3

      It's not an octave higher. At the high range it's about the same as an electric guitar, it just doesn't have the lower part of the range.

  • @michaelmonfils2642
    @michaelmonfils2642 Před 2 lety +8

    Oh, what fun! Mike, I noticed that you discovered that inverting the 5ths on the ukulele helps fatten the chords. Dropping the C string a 1/2 step to B also works well for many songs in the keys of E and E minor, as well as B and many others. Cheers from the Green Bay Ukulele Club!

    I love all of the songs normally, and while none sound better on uke, they all sound pretty good. My reaction to a lot of the riffs was that I thought they sounded “cuter” and “tingier.” Fade to black’s solo sounded a lot happier as well

  • @MashaT22
    @MashaT22 Před 2 lety +5

    Advice: You need a low g string on that uke. Perhaps also wound strings. Also, if you had an acoustic-electric uke, you could plug into an amp to use distortion and other pedals to help with sustain and the tone.

    I thought all the originally-acoustic lines sounded good on Ukulele..
    Fade To Black, One, The Unforgiven, Sad But True and Wherever I May Roam are my favourites.
    The heavy parts of Wherever I May Roam and For Whom The Bell Tolls sound really good - the former as it has a Flamenco vibe and the latter as it sounds entertaining :0
    This was a great video idea!

    If you swap the high G string for Low G string you get better sound (more like a guitar) and it will give you 5 more notes that you wont get with the hig G string.
    Electric ukeleles have a lot more options for playing these songs also.

    I learned on the ukulele in intermediate school and transitioned to the guitar because I felt shredding on the ukulele just wasn’t enough for me. It’s still a really good instrument though and people like Jake Shimabukaro and Honoka and Azita can do some pretty amazing stuff on it.
    edit: I wanted to mention that you should’ve gotten yourself a tenor ukulele as it’s bigger and more comfortable to play than the concert uke you have. Also, you should get yourself a string set with a low G so you have better range.
