The stuff about the dangers of resting one’s finger atop the uke is pure nonsense. Fernando Sor, Ferdinand Carulli and most the greatest classical guitarists of the nineteenth century all supported their right hand with their little finger of the right hand resting on the top of their instruments as did all the lutenists of yore and modern players of the instrument. The point is when playing with the right hand this way the flesh of the right hand fingers are at the optimum angle for a full beautiful tone.

@@robbrown8483 Teachers that come from the school of thought that you should not rest your finger in the soundboard have found that it limits mobility and dexterity. Beginners may find that their right hand is more relaxed and their playing more fluid if they do not rest any fingers on the top of the instrument. You are correct, Carulli recommended resting the pinky on the soundboard just below the highest string in his method, (other methods from that same era did not) and Sor would do it occasionally depending on what he was playing. I Imagine as many teachers will reccomend you don't do it as will reccomend you do. Its usually quite a debate.

This is awesome info, thanks 😊 is there an easier way to play B?
@playukulelenow 3 ай бұрын
I'm glad you liked the video. The B can be played as a triad, (a three note chord) simply take out the repeated note and use the muting techniques you in this video to mute the string you won't be playing. I talk about this in depth in my Ukulele Chord Tricks: How to Simplify any Chord Book. With ANY major or minor chord the reapeted note can be taken out and mutted creating an easy to play, three note chord! Stay tuned, I'll have a video on triads soon.

I only found the D chord practical. For the B7 it makes no sense to use that finger to mute the string. If the finger is already on the string just press it down. It's harder to mute it. But thanks for the D. That works well with a G

Or put your 2nd finger on the 4th fret of the 3rd string, touching the 4th string and muting it. Then your 3rd finger on the 4th fret of the 2nd string and 1st finger on the 2nd fret of the 1st string. x 4 4 2.

I suppose I have to move away from C, F and G chords sometime! I'm just getting a tin whistle, and the only ones the supplier has are in D. Plan is to record the rhythm on the uke and then play over with the whistle, so key of D here we come. But at least with this tutorial I can "sort of" play a D chord already.

Sheesh. I’m a real beginner and have fat fingers. I have tried the old D ways and have purposefully stayed away from any song with a D chord. I could never get a nice sound from each string. Of course I’m a beginner and not very good. First strum with the “new and easy” D chord and it sounded terrific. This is definitely a fat finger friendly chord. Thanks!
