Haven't been on YT for a long while, getting reinstated was a bit of a chore, I'll try to keep things more up to date. Have an abiding passion for Great American Songbook material. Looking forward to learning with you. Ukulele, 4 strings, 4 fingers coincidence, I think not. I find having the lyrics and chords displayed in the traditional manner the easiest way to put the perfect rhythm into the melodies, making the changes appropriately.

@sammiller9855 3 жыл бұрын

Because the ukulele is a high pitch instrument, particularly the soprano and concert sizes, adding 2nds (9th), 4ths (11ths), 6ths (13ths), and/or 7ths to chords in "reentrant tuning" creates semi-tone and whole-tone dissonances that can sound quite beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Yes Sam...good point! These sound really cool on High G tuning!

I am now 72)..And retired to New Orleans, which is a bastion of hipness...so I am revisiting the uke after more than fifty years. The jazz thing is intriguing, man...
