[@deeman524]

I've had my guitalele for 3 years now, finally some one teaching it, thanks so much! Even on the internet, no one is teaching this instrument

[@Ukelikethepros]

Yes, I agree and besides just loving the instrument it's the reason I have begun doing videos and even create a complete guitarlele course at ukelikethepros.com/p/guitarlele-course

[@patrickcoyle796]

Not many music books on the Guitalele either!

[@budadi]

I just bought my first string instrument, and boy oh boy. 😂 Never played guitar nor ukulele so everything I find about guitalele on KZbin is GOLD

[@jtelevenoyd1571]

As a recent guitarlele convert, what I appreciate most is the ability to play in the same keys as guitar while the different voicings and shapes for the same chords enable me to approach pieces in new ways.

[@SpillerWilliams]

This lesson is well-paced for beginners. The warm, full sound makes practicing enjoyable.

[@Ukelikethepros]

Thank you. Just a good get to know the instrument as we begin to dive into deeper topics.

[@normamireles-smith201]

I have heard about the guitarlele but now that you are sharing some info on it - I am starting to really think about it....I wish I had seen this before I bought my guitar. I am self teaching myself to play the guitar but it’s hard cuz I have little fingers. That’s why I play the uke. My hubby may not appreciate me getting another instrument....please keep sharing videos about this instrument. 😁

[@Ukelikethepros]

Thank you for the comment, so nice to hear from you. Yes the ukulele is a great instrument, as well is the guitar, I love them both. The guitarlele is nice because the body isn't as big as an acoustic guitar (even a mini-guitar) which is easier to handle and play even with smaller hands.

[@teragotchi]

Just received a guitarlele as a gift and there are so little tutorials on playing it, so this was a massive help!! I hope you do some more in the future with other chords 😍

[@avadhbagdi8024]

Great content indeed. Not a lot of material or videos available anywhere else! You are actually helping out a lot of people and would definitely reach to mass audience! Congratulations!

[@Ukelikethepros]

Thank you for that. Trying to produce quality content that helps people out.

[@NinahHunter]

I love this! I just got a guitalele, which I bought not knowing about tuning it up a fourth. So, I was a bit disappointed in it when I first played it in E tuning. After doing a bit of research, I realized guitaleles are tuned up a 4th. At first, I was disappointed because I bought it as a traveling guitar. But, having also started playing Ukulele, I realized tuned up a 4th, it transferred perfectly to Ukulele chords. I just needed to figure out the 6th and 5th strings, which you gave me in your chord chart. Now, I’m loving playing it, and am so glad and excited to find this series of guitalele lessons. Can’t wait to watch (and play) more! Thanks, Terry!

[@dookies2332]

This guy has helped me explore outside of my concert uke, and various acoustic guitars... hes helped me add a tenor uke, baritone uke, and now a guitalele to my collection :)

[@dunja1486]

Hi, I'm so grateful for this teaching. Finally, I can start playing it!!! THANK YOU!

[@BrenoBranches]

I've been looking for a light and portable instrument to take on my tours (i travel a lot for playing but mostly hitchhiking or something like that), I fell in love with the Ukulele because of that. I have a very good one, but now... damn, I'm glad i stumbled upon this video. Ordering my guitarlele now!

[@Ukelikethepros]

Right on, just got back from Maui and all I had was my guitarlele. Which one did you order?

[@vyncekoh]

Any recommendations?

[@TAVMANIAN]

Thank you for covering this I am building one for my daughter and will need all the help I can get to learn how it should be played and or have her learn. Thanks!

[@artistic_excursion]

I bought an guitalele after waching ur video's... ur really an awesome teacher... ☺️

[@Ukelikethepros]

Thank for you that and so glad you got a Guitarlele. Doing a live webinar on Thursday sept 26th sign up here - www.ukelikethepros.com/guitarlele-webinar-signup?cid=28dd8567-d585-461e-8065-6e07998da17d

[@RackwitzG]

I play strictly tabs and so it doesn't matter if the guitarlele is tuned higher than a regular guitar. Since I like Chet Atkins stuff the shorter neck is enticing, even though I have long fingers. Chet was all over the fretboard and a shorter neck is of great help to match his reach. I have a 4-String uke now and am considering getting one of these.

[@frederickbanjoman9482]

yearsof. guitar, 5 years uke on retirment so now rusty on guitar.The answer, dig out that guitalele gathering dust and watch Uke like the pros. Suddeny lurving the guitalele.Easig that stretch back to acoustic guitar, and enable a bit of uke noodling in between. Whats not to like? Thank you Man

[@dianacox3707]

Can't wait to try it out I have a guitar lately and I would love to learn how to play it so thank you for showing it to me and hope to see you soon on the next video

[@JoseLima-pt9hu]

Amazing video. Thank you, I'm decided to buy a guitarlele now. Being a guitar and ukulele player that makes a lot of sense.

[@soundbodycenter]

Very excited. Just ordered a guitalele today. Can’t wait til it arrives. Thanks for my first instruction. Looking forward to more!

[@morennamia]

So you got my full attention. I used to be a studio musician and the depression hit me... 10 years after I haven't played music at all and discovered I need it to live. Point is, I can't play my guitar anymore, and it is terribly frustrating. I found you while looking for lighter, smaller alternatives and i strongly believe this is it.... so now... which guitarlele would you recommend ? I don't want anything pro, but i honestly don't want to get anything that sounds (cheap?) SOS

[@Ukelikethepros]

Hi Silvia, thank you for sharing your story with me. We have plenty of guitarleles to choose from at my store ranging in price, you can check them out here: store.ukelikethepros.com/search?q=guitarlele*&type=product Hope this helps :D

[@bennash3850]

Thanks you for this video. I just got my guitalele after playing a lot of ukulele and love it so much. Can’t wait till the next video 👍

[@clarafraschetti7708]

Just got a guitalele for Christmas! I am a guitar player wanting to play a uke but too lazy to learn new shapes! Thanks for the tutorials!

[@shuleiqigong]

I received mine as a gift 3 years ago and I'm new at playing guitar. For the first time today I realized, the strings were tuned for a guitar! Yikes. Thank goodness I found your instructionals!!! for Loreto Baja.

[@kaylakunkel783]

I have small hands which is why I bought a ukelele, but am considering buying this. Would I be able to reach each string n fret with my small hands?

[@mchaywood83]

If you were getting baritone, tenor, or guitalele first, which would you go with? I have a soprano, and several guitars some of which are like the Taylor GS mini.

[@alysfreeman11]

Just ordered a Yamaha GL1....can’t wait....weeeee....

[@Ukelikethepros]

Cool, congrats. I have one as well, I think they are cool

[@KevinMillard68]

put a capo on a guitar at the 5th fret and yo have a Guitarlele or use the 4 bottom strings and you have a ukulele

[@MrPetterBrasil]

Very very Nice video. I'm becoming a fan of guitarlele. Thank you. Nice lesson. I'm waitting for your guitarlele course.

[@Ukelikethepros]

Thank you I appreciate it. Lots more in the turnpike and special news coming next week.

[@cmcapps1963]

As a guitarist I find it easiest to think of it as a guitar capoed on the fifth fret in terms of tuning. To be honest, though, I'm a guitarist through and through (my Martin dreadnought steel string is my "desert island guitar") and I sing as well so I have to transpose chords and riffs to keep songs in comfortable keys. My interest in the instrument comes from having to travel and spending a lot of time in hospitals where I want my guitar but need something much smaller and quieter. I think the guitalele is less frustrating to a ukulele player who simply gets two extra strings. I go back and forth over whether it would "better than nothing" for me personally.

[@staceymarie3438]

Really helpful video, Terry. Thank you.

[@altheamacdonald1630]

Thank you. You give really clear and easy to follow instruction.

[@juan1627jdaf]

Hi Terry. What a wonderful video and instrument, TY. I 've been playing around with a guitar and a tiple Colombiano for a while, but I,ve been looking for smth portable. I wonder what's your opinion about a guitalele tuned like a traditional guitar (EADGBe) i heard we need high tension strings, right? Is this a good idea?

[@Patrick-zg7hg]

I Love Guitalele... It's absolutely groovy a whole step up to F# ... the G shape is an A chord

[@jakemcnamee391]

What do you believe is more enjoyable the guitalele or baritone ukulele and great teaching🙂👍

[@beth6208]

I love it. I must buy one!

[@hernanjulio4069]

Great tutorial,can you tell me what make of strings are you using on your guitalele thankd

[@Ukelikethepros]

I'm just using regular D'Addario Pro Arte classical guitar strings on my guitalele.

[@BigDogDaddyD]

Great lesson. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I just subscribed and rang the bell. I am a beginner guitar player. And I was just gifted a 26" total length 6-string banjo. Not even sure what to call it. A mini banjo? A guitarlele banjo maybe? Or a guitar banjolele? Or a banjitar ukulele? Bottom line is it really doesn't matter what I call it. I just used it with your lesson, and it worked out great. Thanks again.

[@markhinde710]

When are you going to teach advanced lessons? I been watching and you only teach beginner material. What do you consider a pro on uke, guitalele, or any instrument? Do you teach solos?

[@genolorimatos1632]

[@Lasukie]

I just bought a Guitalele, it's coming tomorrow ^^ I can't wait to dive in!

[@Ukelikethepros]

That is great to hear. Which one did you buy?

[@Lasukie]

@@Ukelikethepros I bought an Andoer off of Amazon. It has a pickup unlike the Yamaha GL1 and it's not as expensive as some of the other models, fitting into my price range. I'm a little worried about it not having a trussrod though...

[@Ukelikethepros]

@@Lasukie Cool, I'm not familiar with the Andoer, it's not coming up on my Amazon. Where do you live? Many of them don't have truss rods, even my KoAloha guitarlele doesn't have a truss rod. Hopefully the neck is straight and you won't need to do any adjustments. Would love to see it once you get it.

[@Lasukie]

@@Ukelikethepros This link should have it: www.amazon.com/Andoer-Guitarlele-Rosewood-Fretboard-Instrument/dp/B01M0LZGEW I took a terrible phone picture here: imgur.com/9ohvXCl I bought it from Amazon Canada. Because of the climate I like to have the option of a truss rod since I can't really afford a climate controlled room for my instruments. I've been a bass player almost exclusively for the last seven years (and recently also bought a UK Dream U-Bass also, a chinese make) and wanted to get back into guitar playing but also have something really portable and man am I out of practice! I can't even pick anymore and I don't have great nails (don't need nails for fingerpicking bass...might need to purchase some fingerpicks) and the last time I played guitar it was on a full size! What a culture shock this little bad boy is! For some reason my Guitalele wouldn't like A tuning (the E string wanted to hang around B and just wouldn't go to E no matter how much I tried to coax it...) so I've tuned it to E until I can get some new strings (what would you recommend?), I think the ones on it are pretty shot. For 200$ CAD what to expect, really ^^; The pickup works well the neck is straight and the action is good, so there's no worries there.

[@Ukelikethepros]

Cool, thanks for sharing. It is currently unavailable on Amazon here in the states. I have seen photos of those before. Your right for $200 and a picktup it's pretty good. For strings you can use regular classical guitar strings (light or medium tension), I use D'Addario. There are some companies making guitarlele strings, I think D'Addario makes a set of Flourocarbon and also Cordoba has a set as well. I have only used classical guitar strings on mine. Thanks for sharing.

[@rjp63vip789]

Terry I notice you always wear a strap when playing the ukulele,guitarlele or guitar. Could you do a video on the benefits of wearing a strap and where you can get ukulele or guitarlele straps. We didn't get to that question in the Q and A on Saturday. Thank you. JR

I am new to the ukulele/ playing around a year . Mine is not very good. I was looking at a BCG18 / cross over guitar ukulele... I can get it for 230.00 all in. Was 325.00 wholesale.. i am in Canada and it’s in my price range not high not low end . What do you think ? I still looking for a comcert pick up with a built in tuner. I am really like that I can watch KZbin to learn , but mine is just realy a toy it don’t sound to good so would love a nice one .

Can we tune guitarlele strings to same as guitar EBGDAE? So that we can use it for guitar practice coz it much more easier to carry?

Surely you could keep the same chord shapes of a guitar and play the tune in a different key on the guitarlele.

[@Ukelikethepros]

Yes you are correct. The biggest challenge is just remembering the chords in the new key. If you have played guitar for a while like I have, I still forget that I'm playing guitarlele and will call the chords by their guitar name.

What kind of strings do you put on it

[@FrantzesElzaurdia]

Guitalele strings

[@Mindermaniac]

Informative video - thanks. Please change title to the correct name of the instrument - it's a Guitalele - no r in the name. Ukulele is not pronounced ook ah lay lee, it's you kuh lay lee. The tuning of the top four strings is the same intervals as a baritone ukulele, not soprano or tenor ukulele - these are tuned to the melody "my dog has fleas" 5 1 3 6 - where 1 is the tonic of the scale - G C E A if tuned to the key of C from low to high string. Baritone uke is like the top four strings of guitar tuning intervals, up a forth. A four note up the major scale - Doh ray me fah from a regular guitar. I had access to a baritone guitar that my first girlfriend owned - just like playing the top 4 strings of a normal guitar.

[@GradyDeaton]

[@MaxKing222]

[@deeman524]

why do you call it a guitar-lele when there is no ar in the wording?, that's always confused me.

[@Ukelikethepros]

Good question and I have a video coming out on this. Many ukulele companies and even google like the spelling guitalele. Even the way you pronounce this varys from video to video. Other companies, like KoAloha Ukuleles call it a guitarlele, even though they are the same exact instrument. I have also seen it spelled, guilele. I prefer guitarlele because it's easier to say and seems clear in what it is, a cross between a ukulele and guitar.

[@BuzzyWhitlowIndy]

can it be tuned like a guitar?

[@Ukelikethepros]

I’ve heard of people tuning it like a guitar but have been disappointed with how it sounds. I think that has to do with the tension, as guitar tuning will have less tension than guitalele tuning.

[@BuzzyWhitlowIndy]

Thank you for that information.

[@WalterRafael]

@@BuzzyWhitlowIndy depends on the strings. If you get a shorter scale set, it can be done. Hannabach set 890 MT would work.

[@brumm3653]

@@Ukelikethepros Maybe high tension nylon strings? But I'd expect the low E string to be a bit dull because the box is too small.

@@Ukelikethepros Hi, the guy who sold me mine recommended tuning it in GCFA#DG, tends to work fine while fingerpicking, I have some videos on my channel you could check out, I've just started using it instead of a guitar (because of the size, more convenient to have in the car😉), feel free to leave a comment, it's always good to have some criticism... Otherwise great video Mr!

[@5877user]

This sounds like a biased sales pitch. Not a single negative comment. Do you wind up playing it like a guitar bc it has 6 strings? Doesn’t sound like it’s for a beginner.

[@Ukelikethepros]

It's not so much a sale pitch but this video was part of the pre-launch to my Guitarlele Course that came out last month (www.ukelikethepros.com/p/guitarlele-course). Essentially you can play it like a guitar, although it's tuned a 4th up from the guitar. Also the ukulele size body and neck length makes it feel more like a ukulele with a wider neck. But all your guitar chords and scales work, they are just in a different key than the guitar. I have a total beginner (never played ukulele or guitar) that is going through my course right now and loving it.

[@BuzzyWhitlowIndy]

The neck appears to be wide like a classical guitar.

[@Ukelikethepros]

Essentially yes, but I have noticed that it is not anywhere near as thick as the classical guitar neck, and also if it not obvious, not as long.

[@matthallam7772]

Oh, so it’s the manufacturers that are confusing the issue. I saw a earlier Video of yours and you used guitalele ,lol. I guess in the big picture it does not matter.I am thinking of getting one.

[@Ukelikethepros]

Yes let's blame the manufacturers. 😀Yes you can use your ukulele chords for the guitarlele and then over time start incorporating the chord shapes to take advantage of the 2 extra strings.

[@theopask8032]

Re the last comment is it better to strum the 6 strings or 4 when playing the Uke chords to get a better depth of sound while continually trying incorporate the New chord shapes as per your chord chart Many thanks for your continued help. Cheers

[@Ukelikethepros]

@@theopask8032 good follow up. When playing your ukulele chords on the guitarlele I would avoid the 5th and 6th strings until you get the full guitarlele chords since those 2 new strings D and A won't always sound good when played.
