(This is concert/ soprano) *HOW TO TUNE: -Recommend a clip on tuner so you can tune it rly quick -There are built in tuners on some ukuleles -sopranos have same tuning but sometimes they tune the smaller ones up a tone from this -the tuning is: 4th string = G (high sound) [the string closest to the ceiling] 3rd string = C (lower sound) 2nd string = E (medium sound) 1st string = A (highest sound) [the string closest to the floor] -goes from ceiling to floor *HOW TO HOLD IT: -hold the uke w your forearm and press the uke against your body and hold the neck with your other hand for a little support ^^Balance the weight of it between the forearm (arm w the hand strumming) and the hand on the neck -OR you could rest the body of the uke on your lap and hold the neck w your other hand *HOW TO STRUM IT: -Usually strum with your 1st finger (there are techniques tho,, like finger styles and stuff but 1st finger is best for beginners) -usually you strum around where the neck meets the body -practice: do 4 down strokes w 1st finger then 4 up strokes to get used to it (make sure finger isn't getting caught on the strings) -practice 2: 1 down stoke, then 1 up stoke repeatedly -practice 3: (this is a common pattern) down, down, up, down, up, down -smth you should study is different kinds of strumming patterns and different ways of playing it -don't stress *4 SIMPLE CHORDS: *PROGRESSIONS TO PUT ON THOSE CHORDS:

I'm probably late to this, but I bought a "Vorson ABS Concert Ukulele" and it's pretty sturdy, sounds great, and holds it's tuning well. It's only $25-29 on Amazon depending on what graphics you choose. The reason they're so inexpensive is because they're made of plastic, which is actually more durable than the wooden ones. It just doesn't look like wood. I'd definitely recommend upgrading if the one you own doesn't sound great and you don't want to spend a lot of money on a higher end one 🙂

And teaches you how to tune. 3 hours later and I already feel like I can play a song I sort of recognise. I can’t wait to show my little girl in the morning.

Just started today and can play first four strings pretty well after watching your video. Top notch! Thanks

[@ashleyholzmueller1792]

Just got my first ukulele for Mother's Day!!!! Great video!!

[@joanneginever1890]

Hi Justin Just bought a cute little Uke today at a Cashies store. Mint condition and very cute. Found your great video and have it all tuned up nicely. Sounds great and now learnt my first 4 chords😊👏👏👏👍💕Yah. Heaps of fun. I play guitar also so was puzzled at first by the tuning of the uke, but followed your instructions and all worked out well. You are awesome. Thank you 🙏

[@justinguitar]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@ioveyou8987]

My ukulele is coming in next Tuesday. It’s Friday where I live. 🌺

[@TheChickwithguns]

You're awesome. I have no experience with guitars. I play violin and some piano, but I think this will be fun. Thanks for a great little video.

[@MSCLOVERCT]

Amazing video. Didn't take me long to figure out that chord sequence was also used for I'm Yours by Jason Mraz

[@haleyh6921]

[@cheery-hex]

great tutorial thanks!

[@TeePolgar]

Hey Justin, Thanks for these tutorials. I just started to travel longer on the road. I wanna use my ukulele that I got yesterday to basking. I am stoked by the way you explain staffs. Cheers!

[@lillow671]

80% of comments: I wanna be Tyler/ where my clique at |-/ 10%: Thanks, helped a lot 5%: Lol I don't even a uke 5%: Just got a uke!!!!!!

[@TraceysLynne2005]

sigh.

[@MrMerseyblue]

Another thing I should have said, it really helps being able to play guitar as well. I found the transition really easy as a result. The key is to have patience and perseverance. It will come.

[@cek7940]

Thank you, I just got my 8month old grandson his first uke and we are going to learn to play together ♥ God bless you ♥

[@michaelboydoutdoors736]

I don’t even own a Ukulele but this tutorial is satisfying.

[@SusiOfficial]

Great video, man! I LITERALLY just started playing the ukulele and your videos are very helpful! Thank you :-)

[@jdeprofessionalbelgium7359]

Hey Justin! Very clear video! Which Ukelele size are you using? And which one would you recommend for an adult beginner (1m83) with medium sized hands?

[@-cleantrash-4676]

I’ve been trying to play the ukulele for years and all I had to do was look on KZbin when I was a little bit on track

[@chifan7]

Thanks for the video. I'm a lefthanded guy that has never played an instrument. I have long thin fingers. I am having problems getting my fingers on the strings without hitting the other strings. Any suggestions? Thanks Harold.

[@michelleasunnydays140]

practice more. and more. .

[@justinguitar]

This is a common beginner issue and will improve with practice and time. Can I recommend you visit the community - there's many good folk in your position and you can share tips and help there: community.justinguitar.com/ Cheers 😊 | Richard_close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Approved Teacher

[@ronissanmattel6219]

Looks like we both are lefthanded!

[@TheValSawyer]

That was great. Thank you. It's 8pm and I bought a ukulele at 3 this afternoon. Trust me when I say I'm so glad I found you. ;)

[@homelesswhale]

Any suggestion on a good ukulele to purchase?

[@justinguitar]

yeah, a Maton!! :)

[@elisabettagatti4116]

dont forget to be realistic - you'll have to put in a bit of work whichever method you decide on for learning to play the uke I've been researching into different systems and discovered an awesome website at Arthurs Uke Blog (check it out on google)

[@Roxzinne]

+homelesswhale After wanting for years to learn the Ukelele I discovered Arthurs Uke Blog and this appears to be the best home study method (google it if you're interested)

you can get a mahalo one it's cheap and really good if you're a beginner

[@allye.1384]

I just got a new ukelele for christmas and I have never played a string instrument at all before. My mom's boyfriend got me some kind of electric tuner to go with it, and I'm pretty sure I have the basic idea down: You select a chord/note you're trying to match, then keep tuning it until the thing on the screen meets in the middle, and you do this for all of the strings. But, whenever I tune it or just move the knobs at all, nothing happens on the screen. I'm sorry if I sound dumb, but again, I've never played ukelele or any kind of string instrument so I'm trying to learn how to tune it from the instructions. Can anyone help me on this?

[@wolfme4030]

Without knowing the exact type of tuner it's hard to give advice. I haven't got a uke yet, but I have been doing a lot of research and saving before I purchase my first uke. There appear to generally be two types of tuner, those with a microphone built in and those that clip on to the uke and tune by vibration. The second seem better for the beginner, plus you can tune up in a noisy area. The only thing I could suggest with your tuner is to read the instructions or check the specific model on the Internet :)

[@mikemcmo]

Your uppermost string should be tuned to G, then C, then E, then A at the bottom.
