Excellent lesson! I tried open C for the first time today and am trying to get Gimme Shelter under my fingers, I feel I can do it with your inspiration!

Great, and the more fun with 4th string replaced by a low G

Really interesting thanks I'm certainly going to try it.

Another jolt to the rut-bound! I play my guitars in several different tunings; absurdly, it never occurred to me do the same on my ukes. Thank you 😊

Great insights into open C. Thank you so much for stretching my ukulele playing. You present this revelation with such joy. This makes me want to get my uke out! 😊

Very good Phil, enjoyed that! Been playing around with my Bushman baritone, tuning it BEBE, very much like a dulcimer!

Excellent lesson once again.

Thanks for the info. I should have thought of that a lot earlier. It'll make playing tunes I don't have the music score for much easier specially when they are playing in an unknown key. Finding the right key will be much quicker and easier to find to follow along with what is being played. It's just a matter of sliding up the neck till I get the right key to play in and apply the 4th and 5th cords along with the base lower main key.

Cool open C tuning idea. I hope you explore other open tunings on the ukulele in future. Although to be fair, you churn out a lot of material. I feel cheeky suggesting more!

So timely! I was just thinking about open tunings on the uke. Thanks Phil

reminds me of the time I was at an extremely "folky" open mike and got them into a sing along to Jumpin' Jack Flash (*not* really from the folk canon). I was using an "alternate tuning" that didn't require retuning any strings. I called it Dropped E tuning and all it needed was a Kayser capo, applied at the second fret from the bottom of the neck over all the strings except for the low E. I then played the tune with the chord shapes for the key of D.

I used to do that on a couple of tunes, back when I played guitar exclusively.

If I tune my banjo uke to GECG (open C), would I then be able to play with my banjo playing husband? Thank you for your help.

@PhilDoleman 2 жыл бұрын

If it's a 5 string banjo, and your husband put a capo on the 5th fret, then your fingerings would be identical. Just to play together though needs no different tuning or capo, you just need to know the chords to go with whatever the banjo is playing. Hope this helps!

Thanks for mentioning me without the name 😂 Anyways I'm getting wiser all the time plus it's great fun. Can't wait to get my hand on a slide. Thanks for the lesson.

@PhilDoleman 3 жыл бұрын

:-) It wasn't aimed at you (well not just you 😉) it's something I hear a lot! Slide is lots of fun, and it works great if you have a cheap uke with a really high action.

@martyngoodfellow5430 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Phil great lesson. But can you do a minor chord eg Am Dm

@PhilDoleman 3 жыл бұрын

Absolutely, any minor chord you already know with the A string raised by two frets will work (so Am, 2002), and any minor chord where the G string is open (just leave the 1st string open too, so Em would be 0430).

@robertkizik3939 3 жыл бұрын

Another question. I was thinking of open E tuning and mapping out IV and V chords...are all IV and V on the 5th and 7th frets, respectively, in any open tuning?

@PhilDoleman 3 жыл бұрын

Yes they are!
