I love to play the guitar, but this is my new favorite instrument by far. I see it as a similar, but yet very distinct instrument. I love the feel of the guitarlele with it's small size and light action. It is much easier to carry around and play anywhere, and I love the light action and small size which makes it easier for me and my small hands to play. Plus, it is great for teaching early music lessons. My youth group kids, as well as my biological kids all love it! It seems to have sparked a whole new level of excitement for learning to play with the youth praise band. :)

@@Ukelikethepros, My daughter plays ukulele as her primary instrument. And, I have several kids in the youth group who are interested in learning both ukulele as well as guitarlele. So, your videos are super helpful and I am getting a great deal out of your guitarlele course. I personally have the Yamaha GL1. I have bought two more of them one for my son and one for a young lady in the youth praise band. I have a dream of getting a Koaloha like the one you use with the pick up. I have to save up for that one though :) Thank you for all you do!!!

The nice thing about the KoAloha Opio with Acacia wood is that even though it's expensive about $750 it's a better price point than the KoAloha Koa D6 which they don't make anymore which would be well over $1000, probaby about $1200. It's great that your getting all your kids into playing. Keep up the great work you are doing.

I've played the guitar for years and have only recently picked up the ukulele. This seems like the best of both worlds. Small, portable but with the same chords as the guitar. I do love the depth of sound that the guitar you are playing has. Not all nylon stringed guitars sound this rich. I retire soon... I might have to research this out and add it to my mix!

Yes, they are great. Guitars do sound fuller and this one I'm using is an Aria Classical guitar made in Spain. The best sounding guitaleles I have found are the KoAloha and the Romero Creations. Yes, I play both of them and sell them at my store.ukelikethepros.com but I have played many of the ones on the market and they are both great.

As an elderly Guitalele beginner, I have been greatly encouraged by your on-line demonstrations - thank you very much, Terry. I have progressed over the last few months by following your advice. The acquisition of an acoustic guitar (vintage, Japanese-made) has led me to progress on that instrument in tandem. In considering the difference between the two instruments, I would say the Guitalele sounds sweet and satisfactory - and is eminently portable. However, the guitar has the edge when it comes to sound quality due to the plangent amplification offered by the larger body. I intend to practice daily on the smaller instrument and swap to the larger one when I want to indulge myself!

I play the Guitalele in a punk ukulele band! I installed a pick up in it, and I love it! I don't play it very subtly, Whacking it with a pick and playing the odd solo's! It doesn't take long to finger a 'C' chord and automatically think 'F' so that I can jam with someone who is on guitar, and translate their chords instantly. although, I do picture and target the 12th fret area of guitar for solos (7th on Guitalele)

On the guitalele we can use much more of the traditional Ukulele right hand (picking hand) techniques, which are very different from the picking on a guitar, either fingerstyle or with a plectrum. Also, Ukes usually are made from heavier (more dense) and kinda "softer" tonewoods, like mahogany, koa, or walnut, which sound totally different from Sitka Spruce, Pine, Rosewood, or even Cedar, usually used on guitars (which are much harder, and even if/when they're heavier like Rosewood, they still fell kinda a little "brittle").

As a musician how two instruments are played physically is more relevant to their similarity than the sound. Because is has the exact same relative tuning as a guitar just transposed up a perfect fourth, all the muscle memory from guitar applies immediately. Any musician can find the root on any fret board and go from there. The open position chord names are simply a fourth higher at the root but remain major or minor, not a big deal. They have acoustic electric ones so you can amplify it as much as you need to too.

The guitar is becoming more difficult for me to play as I get older and I can see this little guy moving right in. Thanks for your videos.

I've tried playing my classical guitar since starting the ukulele about 2 years ago, and it feels SO large and bulky in my arms (and I am a pretty big guy - 6'1"). I'm considering getting a guitalele and just playing some regular guitar music from tabs. I know that it will be a 4th higher than the written sheet music, but since I play solo fingerstyle WITHOUT singing, it really doesn't matter. Thanks for the very useful information.

I find it interesting how many feel there is only one name for this instrument. One of the earliest commercial developers of this instrument, Kanile'a calls it a 'Guitarlele'. In fact based upon the following lines from the web … it appears there are several different name for this instrument ("Several guitar and ukulele manufacturers market guitaleles, including Yamaha Corporation's GL-1 Guitalele, Cordoba's Guilele and Mini, Koaloha's D-VI 6-string tenor ukulele, Mele's Guitarlele, Kanilea's GL6 Guitarlele and Islander GL6, Luna's 6-string baritone ukulele, the Lichty Kīkū, the Kinnard Kīkū, and the Gretsch guitar-ukulele." ) Call it what you like, it is a portable instrument that is relatively easy to learn and transport with extended tonal range compared to a four string instrument. I think I will call mine a "Ukitar".

Well Terry you know my Goldie Locks story but i'll share it for others to see. Once upon a time I really wanted to learn to play guitar but everytime I tried to hold one and play. I thought it's too Big and too long! Too heavy. If I had to play a guitar I would choose the yamaha electric acoustic apx2 I think that's the name of it . However even this small guitar I find too long! Then my mom suggested a ukulele because of the smaller size and simple chords shapes for C F A Cmaj 7 C7 etc... But I found many ukulekes to small and too high pitched and tinny sounding. I tried the baritone but I didn't like the tuning, it was a tad long but not too long but not many baritone tutorials. So I brought a cheap soprano ukulele mostly because of price! I got it home and played it for a few days and returned it. Too small, to tinny sounding. Now I had tried a Guitarlele at the music store and thought wow! I love the size, the sound, and the price! But when u checked KZbin for Guitarlee tutorials I only found a handful done by you. Then I saw one of your Guitarlele vidoes where you talk about your Guitarlele course and at a discounted price! Well that's where like Goldie Locks I said this one is Just Right! Your Guitarlele course is Awesime and FUNtastic! So which do I prefer? Need I say more after that Epic reply! 😜🙃😎 The Guitarlele hands down! I love the warmer sound! Plus I live in the best of three worlds now! I can watch and learn from ukulele and guitar tutorials ! I took my Guitarlele to jam at World Ukulele Day at West Edmonton Mall and It was a perfect fit! I see 1 billion people playing this instrument in the merry near future.because of its size , tone, price and adaptability! Nuff Said finally! 🎼🎼🎼🎼😎😎😎💃🏾💃🏾👍🏿👍🏿🎤🎤🎬🎬🌅🌅😜😜😜 JR 😎 🌅

They have different timbres due to the size of the soundbox, but barring the guitalele sounding a fourth higher they essentially play the same, if I know a song on guitar, I could play it a fourth higher on guitalele easily, like I already can for many songs on guitar or ukulele, starting on a guitalele would probably be ideal for someone struggling with guitar and learning one essentially opens the other up, I think learning multiple instruments benefits your musicality in general, instead of looking for shapes first and learning about why, you learn to figure it out based on your knowledge of music in general. I always struggled with guitar but when I got a violin, then a mandolin and an ukulele, I found my progress on guitar speeding up rapidly as musical ideas became more accessible, as stringed instruments are quite funny to try and play if you only look at tabs and chord diagrams. Learning how to construct chords on multiple instruments opens many doors! I can try out weird tunings and know all the places I can find the note I want, I can construct a chord based on it's intervals and embellishments rather than having to look up every chord for every instrument and potential tuning!

Capos choke tone. Yes, the bigger body of the full sized guitar was still bigger, and still resonates more than the uke body.... but the TONE was choked. The uke body was wide open and sounded free. And its easy to keep in my locker at work to enjoy during my lunch hour...😊

I think that baritone ukuleles probably sound closer to a guitar than a guitalele does because the strings are the same as the bottom ones on the guitar and they're also pretty big and closer to a guitar with the sound. On a scale the guitalele would be closer to the ukulele and the baritone uke to a guitar. Without using capos, I actually think the two sounded really close to each other with the capo on the 5th fret. But I don't have a baritone myself so I can only judge that by KZbin videos and knowing what my own ukuleles and guitar sound like. But thanks for that very comprehensive video!

I too like the lighter, more airy sound of the guitalele, not to mention it's portability. For me, I use the uke as a singalong campfire instrument. I own a lovely Washburn parlor guitar for classical music, a Kala tenor ukulele, and a banjolele. Now I want get a guitalele. Like your voice and videos.

The guitar capo'ed at the 5th fret sounds like a guitar. The guitalele sounds like a ukelele. I prefer the guitar sound. What I would like to see is a solid-body instrument about the size of a guitarlele, with pickups that run through a sound processer that would allow pitching up and down.

I like the timbre on a guitalele more than guitar. But i don't usually strum it because it doesn't handle it very well it's much better on the picking side and also like that you can get away with really weird chords shape much more so than on a guitar infact i can do certain things on a guitalele i just can't do on a standard guitar.

actually the body is bigger then the tenor ukulele, and those that say the guitalele is the same as a guitar with the capo on the 5th fret is the same are right when you capo the 5th fret of the guitar the string tuning is the same as the guitalele the sound of the guitar will be better because of the larger body, the capo alters not only the sound but the key as well as in this case yes the tuning due to the capo and its purpose or job that is does, if you capo the 7th fret of the guitalele the tuning is now the same as a guitar with no capo but the pitch is alot higher..

Good question and I have a video coming out on that. Typically no, because guitar tuning is down a 4th, the strings have too much slack in them and sound funny. You would need a high tension string in order for it to work effectively.

Bearing in mind that the above comment is three years old and Felipe has likely already purchased what he was inquiring about, after trying several types of travel guitars three years ago, I ended up with a 31" Steinberger headless travel guitar by Gibson. It has a full size fretboard and sounds good with a 3 watt BlackStar battery amp, both of which fit in my day pack and also fit in the overhead storage of an aircraft.
