Coming from the piano, these tips feel pretty natural and although I just started the ukulele, I missed something like that until now.

Marco. All your tips and exercises are excellent. They all tie really nicely into my general strategy of learning this, my first instrument. I'm not learning any songs except for one, but I am just working on understanding the fretboard, refining chord changes and finger picking / strumming techniques. I've explored about 100 different ways of playing the same song. I'm gradually adding more chords as I inadvertently pick them up. I'm getting much better and playing far more cleanly. Thank you for making such clear and useful videos that tie into my general sensibility so well..

Really good points, Marco, thanks for sharing. Tip 3 & 5 is something we should keep in my mind all the time even after the beginner phase. Something else I think is worth mentioning might be to perfect the pieces we learn: playing in time (a metronome is really handy) with clarity (no buzzes) and close to no mistakes (e.g. no wrong notes). Diversity is key but making sure you can actually play the pieces so they sound good before moving on to other songs is more important I'd say. Thanks again for the video, loved the style! 😊

Hey friend, can I just ask, with you being a teacher of ukulele…. How much time would you say you devote to teaching music theory or musicality. How do you teach those things. I’m a beginner myself and I have alot of enthusiasm to play but I find it hard to understand notation, notes, chords, sheet music etc etc.
@TheGFeather3 жыл бұрын
@@TheRealColt For my beginners, I tend to focus on how chords interact with each other and using the circle of fifths. Most of my students want to learn how to chord along to songs that they sing, which doesn't call for too much theory. I happen to be a giant theory nerd, and probably end up giving most of them more than they want. When I move into finger picking, that's when I start teaching both traditional notation and TAB. I used to disregard tab as being an inferior cousin to 'real' notation. Thankfully I've gotten over that. Both are valid and useful in their place. One thing tab can do is tell you exactly where on the uke to play a particular note, particularly with re-entrant tuning. My general approach is when there is a skill/song/idea that requires theory background, that's when I teach it. I don't think you have to have a highly in depth understanding of all the intricacies of theory to be a good player, but understanding why something works conceptually makes it easier to apply to other situations.

I’m relatively new to ukulele, strings instruments and musicality all together really. I really want to be good on this instrument, the sound and playing of it is very satisfying to me but, the thing that stumps me with instruments and music is the theory of it. I find a lot of people don’t explain or place enough importance behind this overarching stuff. I want to understand how to put these notes together, I want to understand why things sound good together. I feel as if people knew the theory stuff it’d would make the practical learning of the instrument easier. But at the same time I feel there is a disconnect between these things. Even some apparent experts don’t seem to acknowledge the theory and when it comes to reading sheet music or understanding notation it seems more of a jungle than the fretboard. Anyways thank you for these videos Marco, they are fund to watch and helpful. Keep up the good work my friend

I started playing the ukulele 2019 after already 4 years of playing the Cello and much more years playing the piano. Therefore it was obvious to me that I should know the tones that I play. One day a friend of mine was very impressed how it took me just a couple of minutes to figure out a chord I had never played. Just because I know the theory and the tones I was able to find a way to play a chord. I was verry confused that other people don't do it the same way and search for the chords online xD

Guilty as charged. I reserve picking my ukulele up because I always play the same things. But I also practice fingerpicking songs I have learnt so I don’t forget them. I lean towards jazz so I can play a few more difficult chords but I shy away from very tricky chords. I think it is very beneficial to be among other musicians to progress. I am a lone player so I find it very hard to get motivated. I have joined a few clubs but everybody strumming the same chord does not do anything for me.

One thing that I would like to ask you: could you please in your videos show maybe a better angle of your left hand finger picking work? Or at the beginning show the finger picking pattern for the piece of music. Sometimes it is “hidden” behind the back of the same left hand. And I am having a hard time figuring out your picking pattern. That would be great. Keep up the good videos and thanks again.

Tip number one. Learn the fretboard. I'm going around the circle of fifths and playing all major triads, first in frets 1-5. then 4-8, then 8-12. After I've mastered that, I will do minor, then diminished and augmented. Only after that will I start learning seventh chords. I started playing a Bach minuet, and hope to start a Fernando Sor Progressive studies later.
