That D chord... instead of pressing just the 3 notes in that fret, u just bar it and in stead of an open A u press the A in a higher octave to complete the chord??? Is that wut he did? Cause thats way easier. Wait... i get it! Thats basically a C chord but since u use yer finger to bar the fret... the C becomes a D cause u go down a full step down the neck!!! I get it now!
Hi Phil, You explain and demonstrate so well, it is falling in place fast. You have so many great videos, can you suggest a rout a beginner should take rather than picking random lessons?
Hi Tony, I do have a short beginner series on my channel, starting here... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CTWCmCKggwg.html Then I'd suggest this video on strumming ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8bSmV6IJqBU.html Then maybe this one on the three chord trick ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YZkUk7J3LzA.html And then you should have everything you need to try out my play along videos on this playlist ru-vid.com/group/PLplB1uutyYgG-Gm1Cghh01t3XJSPMDHVy All the best, Phil
I hate to complain but this video was just too good. I really might be forced to have too much fun. I don't know if I've told you but My Mama Don't Allow No Ukulele Playing Around Here!
Brilliant. Gives my enthusiasm a boost. Was getting disappointed with all the attention the more modern songs get but to see the huge alternatives available makes me want to get stuck in. Wish there was a collection of these songs somewhere, or at least a listing of them.
Thanks Graeme, I'm working on a list right now. It won't be all of them (too many!) but a decent amount of songs from different eras that you can play with these chords.
You might prepare some similar charts in the key of D, F and G, the most popular other keys that we find in popular songs. I'm not suggesting you have similar videos to this one, just provide the same 8 chords for different keys. Most of us can do the key changes ourselves, but for the beginning folks, providing similar sheets would be useful.
Really helpful.... Would it be cheeky to ask.... could you do the equivalent for the G scale? I've got a low singing voice and and haven't mastered barre chords. I can play these 8 chords and if I really mastered them, plus the 8 equivalents in the G scale... I'd have as much as I need!
Hi David, there's a lot of crossover with the key of G. What you would need would be G, C and D7 for the first 3 chords. The you would add the Em. The next two would be Am and B7, and the last two would be E7 and A7. You can play B7 without barring as 2320 or 4320. Hope this helps!
Thanks Dave, I have over 100 song tutorials on my Patreon page. I tend not to post many here as so many songs are still under copyright and I end up with a copyright strike!
