I recently bought myself a ukulele and want to try and teach myself. I have been using some simple books and videos such as this one to start learning. I have been following simple tutorials and managed to tune the ukulele. Listening to the notes and matching the ukulele strings.
CHORDS
These are the major chords on the ukulele. I'm finding it tricking to remember the fingering of the chords. Also the fingering of the strings is proving difficult as I feel like I'm catching my fingers on the other strings whilst trying to play chords.
I've been working on strumming the chords in sets of threes one after the other to try and get used to playing them and working on remembering the finger placements of the different chords on the strings and which ones are which. I also still need to remember the order of the strings.
Here are some videos of me playing some chords:
G Chord
F Chord
C Chord
This is the chord chart for beginners.
"Don’t strum near the hole of the ukulele. As I mentioned before you want your strumming hand to be able to reach the 12th fret of the ukulele as this is where you will be strumming from. I know it seems odd but strumming from there makes the best sound and also makes holding and playing the ukulele much easier." (ukulele for beginners, 2010) This definitely helped me being a beginner on the ukulele as I did struggle holding it steady without it sliding as I strummed.
