hi thanks for watching this video I want to show you today the basic chords of
the ukulele in about 10 minutes I'm gonna try to keep it in 10-minute range
I might go a little bit over and give you some bonus material at the end in
fact at the end I'm definitely gonna share some apps with you and some
websites that I think are really great but so before we get started real quick
I just want to talk about the tuning of the ukulele and my ukulele is standard
tuned okay so that we check just to make sure
GCE and a so we've got g c e and okay and one way you can kind of check that
just when you're here is this little - my dog has please and if you can do that
my dog has fleas then your ukulele is at least in tune with itself it may not
be in perfect tune but it's at least in - if you can do that then it sounds good
my dog has fleas if you're in tune with that and then your your ukuleles in -
okay so let's get to the chords so I'm going to start with the easiest chord I
think or or one of the easiest chords there's that some others that are
equally as easy but this one is a very commonly used chord it's the C major
chord okay so we turned this way baby okay so that's the third fret first
string and it sounds like this
and I play it with that third finger because you can also you switch to your
first finger first fret and that's a c7 so you got seen and c7 right hey moving
along we're gonna try to the next chord this is a little bit more
difficult chord to form but if you play guitar it's gonna be really really
easy for you because this is the D chord on the guitar is actually the G chord on
the ukulele so the way that looks is here I start with my bird finger on the
bottom string and that's the second fret let me change this I think that works
better actually so second fret bottom strength bird
finger pointer finger goes to the third string there I think and then you skip
that string and go to the third string and the middle finger there goes to the
middle string third fret okay so that's the same as a D on a guitar but that's a
G ukulele so now we've got seem pretty good like it right all right four
minutes we got to keep moving all right so we've got C G now let's do D alright
so we're in actually working in the G the key of G right now I'm teaching you
the key of G and the chords that go with it
so D is the next one and that's gonna be second fret second fret and the top
three strings on the second fret and then the bottom string is open now some
people try to do that with three fingers like that I can't do that my fingers are
too big so I either use that finger in a bar those first top three and I try to
leave the I bend my finger a little bit on looking to see that they're not I try
to bend my finger so that it's hitting the first top three and not the bottom
one but sometimes I mute that string hello
finger and that's okay all right so so far we've got see we've got B and we've
got bull T and with those three right there you can play I've met a lot of
songs I've made hundreds and hundreds of songs but let me throw another one in
for you real quick that is in that key of G song quite a bit there's a few more
but this was really important an E minor okay so the E minor is a three finger
chord and it's shaped kind of like a F on the guitar in a way except you start
on second fret first string second finger goes third fret second string
third finger goes fourth fret third string and that is an E minor so a lot
of times you'll have like a gene will transfer into an E minor then maybe see
songs you and you can write your own you can come up with your own stuff with
this so okay so all right so we got seat we got G we got D we got a minor those
are good chords you've got a solid foundation right there with us alright
let's try to add a few more to your repertoire though so you've already got
seen right so this is actually a different key we can start working on we
can work on the key of C so C we remember another chord that goes with C
is F so we've got C and F and F is like this it's your bird finger goes to the
second fret top string right your pointer finger skips this string and
goes to the third string first fret right there
that's enough okay
so now for the key of C you can play C
and G and then go real good together like that and any combination of you
know sometimes alright so anyway so there's two different keys you can kind
of play in the C key the key of C with C F and G the G key with G C D and E minor
very very tremendous amount of songs that you can play with it well this is
the e major chord for me what I do is I bar all four of those on the fourth fret
just like that bar
and that's how I play Annie it's kind of a cheating way it's a real real simple
easy way you just borrow all the strings and play them on for now this is like
bonus material stuff I wanted to give you just to add on to the what you've
got here because I want you when you walk away from this video I want you to
be able to pick it up and say hey you know I've got another four words that
from this guy that I can play some songs and you can all you got to do is use a
the ultimate guitar calm and they have all kinds of songs and stuff and I why
we're talking about it too I want to recommend a channel for you because this
is for brand-new basic just picked up a ukulele kind of people okay so if you
haven't found this website yet I want you to earth it's actually a YouTube
channel and a website but it's called ukulele Underground okay I want you to
go there this isn't there awesome they are
wonderful teachers they have really great videos teach you a ton of songs
I've got all kinds of played along songs and the fellow has a website with actual
courses that he teaches gets deep into it if you want to do that and he does
even a live classroom type of teaching on that channel such an amazing channel
and I'll put a link to it in the description but I'll also link somewhere
here in the video right now as I'm talking okay so go check out my buddy
over there ukulele underground I learned a lot of what I know because of you so
okay let's go on with a little bit more bonus material that I wanted to give you
here okay all right so another bonus quarter won't give you a seven
so it looks like this you start with your first finger on the first fret top
string second finger on the second fret second string and your third finger is
on the bottom string second fret and it sounds like this
p7 and that is a really cool chord but since some Nirvana songs there's one I
want to actually show you that it's in that I really like but I got to teach
you two more chords to be able with it this is a 3-quart song this is I'm going
to teach you a whole song both here in just a moment or two so the first chord
is B minor alright and that's an easy chord to play it so you bar the whole
second fret is the way I did it you don't have to get that top string though
because you're gonna hit that with your third finger top string and that'll be
the fourth fret so it's I just borrowed the whole second fret and then I catch
that top string on the 4th fret with my third finger so that's B minor I believe
that's a cool song sounding Cora - B minor
alright so now we've already learned to F which I showed you like this ok that's
it but you can also hold F like this with those fingers okay if you do that
then you can slide F down and that's an f-sharp right there
so I'm barring now the first fret and I'm playing the F chord
with these other two fingers here and here that's an F sharp and this song I'm
gonna warn you it's a good it's a good exercise song for your hand because it
will make your hand a little sore it still makes my mind getting sore I
already just just showing you so alright so we start with because these are it's
got two Barre chords in it and all through the song so we start with that B
minor
then we go to F sharp and then we do that East 7th that we started with
remember here here and here to the F sharp and that's a but that's how that
it just repeats like that that whole time and that's that's a whole song
right there okay last bonus thing I wanted to show you is a derivative of
the D chord okay so the D remember was the top three strings on second fret you
do it with the bird finger you can do it with the pointer finger you can do it D
seventh like that before I talk about all that with your other finger coming
back d sub1 should be minor it's a little different but if you play guitar
it's much like an E chord on a guitar so you start with the second from the
bottom that way your first finger first fret then your bird finger the way I'd
do it does that go top string second fret third finger goes that second from
the top string also second fret okay so that's kind of so we're holding this one
and then this one and this one on second one
is a last thing I wanted to do was just tell you about the apps that I've got
