If you want to learn some sweet ukulele songs, proper tuning is a must.Įxample songs that would be best for Ukulele are:įrets are the spaces between the vertical lines along the neck of your ukulele. You will need special strings to tune your ukulele in this way. This makes it the lowest note on the uke and fills out the bass sound. Linear tuning uses the “G” tuned an octave down. Some people prefer a linear tuning method. This high “g” lies between the E and A on the scale. Many ukuleles are in tune with what’s called “re-entrant tuning.” This means the fourth string isn’t the lowest note. Notice the little “g” for the first string. The strings are illustrated as vertical lines (from left to right standard G C E A string) and the frets are the horizontal lines. This is because they all use the same traditional tuning. Most information you see online will be for the soprano, concert, and tenor ukuleles.

I’m not sure why this isn’t included in the Christmas Trilogy, but here’s a nice and simple arrangement of Carol of the Bells from Ukulele Hunt. Good King Wenceslas: Two versions one rocky and one traditional.I bought these e-books one by one as they came out, but now Al offers them all together – 32 songs in total for just $14.
