Hi Everyone! Welcome to Chord Mania! In this lesson, I will explain how I have arranged the classic song “Silent Night” into a fingerpicking “masterpiece.” It differs from most other ukulele tutorials that have been classified as easy. This is definitely NOT an easy tutorial. As most ukulele tutorials seem easy they appeal to a large number of beginning ukulele players. But, since I am a technician, I will hold you to a high standard. I have tried to create a piece of music that will not only challenge you but also help you learn new techniques. You need to focus and work hard and you will be able to learn it. Once you master this piece, you will have fun playing it and impressing your friends and family! I use continuous right-hand fingerpicking pattern (plenty of backward rolls), ‘hip’ chord shapes, double stops, and some harp harmonics for this arrangement.

Hi! Welcome Back to 4k Chord Mania! In this tutorial, I will explain how to play the Intro to Day Tripper by The Beatles. https://www.ukelikethepros.com/p/courses. This tutorial is a from the “10 Classic Rock Licks For Ukulele.” Although this is a special course for Ukelikethepros members, I wanted to share it with you. The Beatles played the Day Tripper in key E. This is great on the guitar but not the ukulele. For your making it easy to play on the ukulele, I have transposed it on Key C of the ukulele. This lick has all single notes and playing it could be challenging on the original tempo. The intro is based around two chords of Key C (the C7 chord and F7 chord). The best way to increase your speed and accuracy is by practicing each lick slowly and memorizing it.

Confused about how to master your ukulele? Don’t worry! All your queries will be resolved on www.ukelikethepros.com/p/courses. Due to an overwhelming number of requests for Jazz lately, I have decided to jump into it. I was avoiding Jazz on the ukulele because I felt that not many people were interested in it but obviously, I WAS WRONG! So I will put my two degrees in Jazz (Master of Music from the University of Southern California in Studio /Jazz and a Bachelor of Music from San Diego State University in Jazz/Music Education) and help you learn Jazz. I will teach you the Beach Jam ukulele cover of “Autumn Leaves” by Johnny Mercer. Although I am beginning with only a cover song today, you can visit my site www.ukelikethepros.com for more courses on Jazz.

Today I will be playing lots of different chord inversions. The essential chords for this song are Amin7, D7, GMaj7, CMaj7, F#min7(b5), B7, Emin7 which are shown in this lesson. In addition to these, there are...

Get ready as I unbox a special surprise from KoAloha Ukuleles in this 4K guitalele tutorial.

I myself am not sure whether to call it my new KoAloha guitalele, guitarlele, or guilele!

But I prefer to call it a guitarlele. In the box, there are 4 instruments from KoAloha which can be purchased by the ukelikethepros members.

This box has a bundle of surprises, it has another KoAloha guitalele, 2 KoAloha, Tenor Ukuleles with Spruce Top and Acacia sides and back, and a KoAloha Concert Ukulele with Acacia top, sides, and back.

Contact Me for any of these exquisite instruments. Well! I am thrilled about having my own guitarlele and will start my tutorials soon! So, stay tuned for more!

Hey! Welcome back to Chord Mania! In this Chord Mania tutorial I will teach you how to play the A chord. Free Strumming Mastery Ukulele Course https://www.ukelikethepros.com/offers... The A chord on the ukulele has become very popular because it is an open position chord. An open position chord is one in which at least one of the strings is open, i.e. there is no finger on it. Although the A chord is an open position chord, it turns into a bar chord when you move it up the neck to different chords! But, I will explain about the bar chords after some time.

I will first explain the fingering for the A chord

+ 2nd finger on the 4th string 2nd fret

+ 1st finger on the 3rd string 1st fret

+ Open 2nd string

+ Open 1st string

You might have noticed that the A major and A minor chords are quite similar on the ukulele. The A minor differs from A major because it does not use the first finger and keeps the third string open.

Major chords have a bright and happy touch while the minor chords...

Hi! This tutorial is especially for Jazz fans1 I will teach you how to play ii – V – I chord progression in the key of A Major.

Ii – V – I refer to chords of a specific key. Since in this lesson we are in the A key, the Major Scale is A Major Scale: A – B – C# - D – E – F# - G# - A.

‘ii’ refers to B Minor which is the second chord in the A Major Scale. In this tutorial, we will be using the 7th chords, so it will be B Minor 7th chord.

Use your triads when you play pop and rock music! But as far as Jazz is concerned it will be the 7th chords!

‘V’ refers to the fifth chord in the A Major Scale- which is E. As we are using the 7th chords it will be the E7 chord. But I am using the E 13 chord in this tutorial.

The E13 chord will make your music “cooler” because it has some extra chords for that effect!

‘I’ refers to the first chord of A Major Scale which is A Major. We will be playing the...

I didn't plan for it and it wasn't even one of my goals, but Beginning Music Reading Book is #1 on Amazon New Releases for ukulele books.

Honesty I was so happy to get the book released due to the amount of work and effort it took to bring it to fruition.

But to randomly search Amazon yesterday and see the red banner they put on my page showing #1 New Release thrilled me.

It actually made me feel really good and was the highlight of my day.

And the best part of it all is that it's all because of you.

Without your support in viewing and purchasing the book on Amazon they wouldn't have given me that distinction.

Thank  you.

Chances are it would have been yet another book lost in a sea to millions of books, many which are great, but don't get discovered because people aren't aware of them.

Because I uploaded my book with the Amazon owned company, CreateSpace, it probably helped get noticed on Amazon's algorithm. And since Amazon takes their share for having it...

Hello guys, welcome to another exciting ukulele tutorial. In this video, I am going to talk about advanced blues turnaround in A. This is something which is generally played by the advanced ukulele players.

Like most of my videos, I have focused on the main topic without wasting time and making the video long. The turnaround uses the last 2 bars (11 and 12) of the 12 bar blues. We are going to use only 3 chords, namely:

- A chord (I)

- D7 chord (IV)

- E7 chord (V)

The 11 and 12 bars are A and E7 respectively.

In the video, I will first make you learn the turnaround and then I will give a demonstration of it by playing the 12 bar blues and showing how the turnaround is used into it.

I suggest you to first learn the turnaround properly and then try to fit it into the blues. Further, if you want to learn some more turnarounds after this video, you can check out B.B. King, Vaughan, Muddy Waters, Jimi Hendrix, and Robert Johnson.

Enjoy the video!

Hi guys,

Ever wondered what is a double stop in ukulele? A double stop is when you play two notes at the same time. In this tutorial, I am going to discuss using the double stops with the F major scale. I have chosen the F major scale as it normally does not go to high and most ukuleles will play it perfectly.

So, the notes are going to be on only two strings i.e. the first and the second string. Talking about the position of the fingers, the index finger will be on the 2nd string. Also, the middle finger will be on the first string.

Another thing to note here is that I will only be using the pinches all the time in this tutorial. I have discussed every single finger position in detail clarifying both up and down motions.

Try to make sure that you are following my fingers just as I have shown in the video. This will allow you to play it perfectly and effortlessly.

And of course the last thing – Practice it multiple times!

Enjoy the video!

In this video, I am going to talk about an important ukulele chord i.e. A Major. The very first thing that I want to mention is that I am using a low G for this lesson. So, if you do not have a Low G, first go grab one.

Another thing that I want to suggest is to thoroughly memorize this chord before you attempt any soloing.

I have discussed every detail about the A Major Scale by letting you guys practice both the ascending and descending motions.

I suggest that you should not rush on to improvising. Just learn and memorize the scale carefully and then move to licks and solos.

Enjoy the video!
