Guitalele First 3 Chords | Uke Like The Pros | Terry Carter

Описание: New to the guitarlele? In this guitalele (or guitarlele) tutorial I'm going to show you the first 3 chords that you learn on the ukulele and how they work on the guitarlele.

When you first pick up the ukulele, the first 3 chords taught are the C, F, and G chords. Not only are these easy to play (the G being the most difficult) but they also make up the I, IV, and V chords in the key of C, which will allow you to play a Blues in C and many early Rock and Roll songs.

Since many people that gravitate towards the guitarlele are ukulele players, I want to show you how to play these chords on the guitalele.

If you are a guitar player coming to the guitarlele then you will recognize the C chord shape as a G chord on the guitar, the F chord shape as the C chord on the guitar, and the G chord shape as the D chord on the guitar.

Yes, the tuning of guitarlele is essentially a 4th up from the guitar.

Now, the guitarlele and the ukulele are tuned exactly the same (from high to low) A - E - C - G but the guitarlele also adds 2 lower strings, the D and the A string.

Although the C and F chords are fairly easy to play on the ukulele, they are a bit more difficult to play on the guitarlele because you have to add an additional finger and because the neck of the guitarlele is wider than the traditional ukulele.

The G chord is identical on both the ukulele and the guitalele.

For this lesson we are going to use a simple D DU D DU pattern.

The progression is going to go C - F - C - G.
