Ukulele Lesson - Amazing Grace Instruction
I do not think that everybody is familiar with the ukulele. In fact, there are some people who have not even seen one which are sad. There are also some people who have seen it and thought that it was a mini guitar and did not recognize that it has its own name. If you are one of those people, learn what it is. You might never know but the ukulele can be the instrument that you have wanted to play with all your life.

The first benefit of learning ukulele is its size. Many small children struggle with larger instruments such as guitar. While guitars can be purchased in sizes as small as a quarter of the size of a regular-sized guitar, they are often still too big for kids who are 5-10 years old. Ukulele, on the other hand, is small enough to be handled easily by someone in this age range. The body of the instrument is small and easy to hold. The neck is also thin with narrow frets, which makes it easy to play basic chords.
As you can see this chord is the same chord as a D major on a guitar. A little bit confusing if you also play guitar but I guess you will get used to it.
The names of the chords we will play are dependent upon the tuning of the uke. In this Ukulele lesson we will use the common tuning in C. This means that the first string of the ukukule is tuned to A. The first string of your uke is the bottom string when you play.
Another reason is that you can keep your hand Ukulele for sale in the same position as you only need to move your fingers and not your left hand. This will help you a lot when you start to play more difficult melodies.
This ukulele tab notation doesn't indicate the rhythm of the song. As you know the melody and maybe can sing it I guess you will feel how long the notes should be.
Being a beginner, don't go overboard on your first instrument! I've been playing guitar for just under 30 years and my first ukulele only cost me $60 NEW! My second cost closer to $300. I've tried playing all the different ukulele types and I prefer the tenor. The fret spacing is easy to finger and I still have the feel and sound of a Ukulele for sale in uk ukulele. The first thing you're going to want to do after you get your ukulele is tine it. You can tune by ear but for just a few bucks the ease and perfection of an actual tuner. I been playing for a while and an electric tuner has been one of my best investments.
