The reality is REVEALED!! Is guitarlele stupid?

[@tylerhouston9746]

Technically you don’t have to learn anything new if you know the entire guitar neck. Think of it as a mini guitar with a permanent fifth fret capo. I always think of it as learning new tunings instead of learning another instrument. If I tune them the same, I can play any of them. I keep my banjo in dgbe like a guitar’s first 4 or baritone uke to open up more music without transposing. I can capo at fret 5 to have typical uke tuning and the 5th string is a high g. Learn the entire neck and a guitalele wont be any trouble. I do agree that it is dumb to think of it as a new instrument though. All standard ukes are small 4 string guitars with a permanent capo. Baritone ukes are small bodied 4 string guitars without a capo. Standard banjo tuning is different so you really just learn a new tuning and style. Most strings are similar enough that if you can play one, the other wont be an issue unless you have to use a bow or plan to play in a new tuning or style. These are my personal thoughts and how I approach things. It has helped me to enjoy the instruments more for sure. Edit: I know they are different instruments and I respect each one for those differences but this is just what helps me. If you are reading this and it doesn’t help you, please just ignore me. I just like music.

I have a Yamaha Guitalele and it is by far my favorite instrument ever. It is super fun. Way better then a typical tenor ukulele. I just wish their was more content about it, like tutorials and reviews. Also, It is a little more complex than your typical ukulele. Other than that it is awesome.

[@lxkakkarot3689]

Yes facing the same problem, having no apps to tune it , no tutorials to learn about it, no books written about its chords

[@brumm3653]

@@lxkakkarot3689 guitarlele is a low-G ukulele plus low D and low A, both of which exist on the guitar. So you can use uke tuner for some of the strings and a guitar tuner for other strings.

[@brumm3653]

Also, for chord shapes, look for guitar chord shapes. Then google for the circle of fifths. From guitar to guitalele you move by one position anticlockwise on the circle. So guitar C-major shape sounds like F-major etc.

​@@lxkakkarot3689Apps to tune it? 😵 Just get a chromatic tuning device. Or app if you will. You don't need different tuners for different instruments

[@DancingCrowDesigns]

NOT STUPID!!!!!! I love mine - I got it for the pandemic lockdown, and bought your course, and I've been able to play with uke friends, and practice music that has chords written for guitar. It is small enough for my tiny mouse-sized hands. The range is roughly where my vocal range is. It is great!

[@leonbyleveldt]

I bought my Yamaha GL1 guitalele and is arriving soon, i really can't wait... I'm actually a guitar player but also play ukulele from time to time, so I'm excited to see this falling right in between

[@f1nnm5rt1n]

I'm a uke player and recently got guitarlele to learn some guitar chords. Nothing worse than someone passing you a guitar and you not knowing what to do!

[@melsoft121]

My household has 3 ukuleles(one is my fiancé’s) a banjolele, and a guitalele. I only use my banjolele for finger style, which I’m not good at right now so it doesn’t get used much, but I love all my instruments. I’ve had my guitalele for about a month now.

[@Jay-mj5lu]

May I ask what is a C sharp chord on the Guitarlele?

[@carot2003]

I have a Guitalele by Ashbury model au40g and I love it, it is tuned as a guitar EADGBE. I play guitars not ukes so this is small with a full width neck and good for travel. It's Great..

[@TomTomTomTom538]

I got one for travelling but I wish I'd just got a smaller guitar instead. It's ok if your mainly going to use it as a uke but if you're only going to play guitar chords on it its a bit cramped and the neck is really uncomfortable! I tune mine down a step so it's more similar sounding to a guitar too.

[@RjBenjamin353]

You can get to play far more intricate chords on a guitarlele than a Uke. And you can take it anywhere and if you have one with a pickup you can amplify it

[@Ukelikethepros]

I agree. The extra 2 strings allow for much more bass and range on the guiatrlele

[@kjetilalexandersaltnes8643]

What pickup are you using on your koaloha?

[@lxkakkarot3689]

Hi Uke, Can you please tell me an application to tune the yamaha GL1 ? Because i am unable to tune my metal G string according to ukulele and it makes three string of ukulele and three string of guitar

[@chopi8700]

Tune the g string to a low g or to the g string of a guitar

[@lxkakkarot3689]

@@chopi8700 if i tune it to g string of guitar than the chords of ukulele will sound different na ??

[@billylin5404]

@vaibhav sahai The G string of the guitarlele is the same as the Low G string of the ukulele. Because the Lower A and D strings are there on the guitarlele, I think it wouldn't make sense to tune the G string to a High G, (which would sound out of place,) if it were not impossible to tune it high to begin with.

[@chopi8700]

@@lxkakkarot3689 it will sound different from a traditional ukulele, but it will sound the same as a uke tuned to a low g.

I follow you as I have started learning Ukelele recently and I really like your content. I don't have any other way to reach out to you so I'm gonna say it here in the comments. Sir would you please make a tutorial for Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls. That would be great.

[@shannahsnyder5653]

Your website is down

[@matthewhughes3749]

how do you play with others though because playing with a guitar player as a guitarlele your in a different key you know

[@JGscienceGaming]

It is the best practice tool I have in my arsenal I absolutely love my guitalele 🎸

[@snoopaka]

Really like the nice relaxed presentation in this video.

[@tolsbox]

Subscribed. Thinking of buying one.

[@I..cast..fireball]

THIS is the best uke for guitar players. Not a baritone uke.

[@Ukelikethepros]

Guitarleles are great and your right they are great for guitar players.

[@billylin5404]

Personally, having started with playing the ukulele, I actually feel more at home with the guitarlele than with the guitar.

[@lasse3412]

Lovely instrument

[@maplebob23]

I WANT ONE!!!! DON’T TELL ME ITS STUPID!!!! J/K

Every instrument can look stupid, It's up wath and how do play on the instrument. Here music on guitalele: Tarrega -Lagrima, Abdul Aziz guitalele legacy
