New Ukulele tutorials every Wednesday and Saturday
Today I am going to teach about the Low G ukulele. What it is, what it does, if it is right for you and should you buy one? The low G is a metal string that is tuned an octave below... so what does that mean? What does it do? It means that that the string is an entire 12 notes lower in pitch than the "re-entrant" G string that you currently have tuned on your ukulele. It means you get bass heavy chords, you can play bass lines and your melodies have more range that they did, but... that doesn't necessarily mean that it is better in every sense. So, let's talk about it, is it right for you? What ukulele sounds best with it? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the low G, let's break it down.

This is the best demonstration of Low G v High G that I've seen. Thanks Tyler ❤❤❤

@poco_a_poco_music Год назад

Really like this format. Conversational. Like chilling.

Great to hear!

@mikeportjogger1 Год назад

Excellent explanation. I came to Uke from guitar and have a tenor with high G because I like the contrast. When I come across a low G piece to try I capo a guitar at the 5th fret and just use the top four strings.

@cgandy2 9 месяцев назад

This is an excellent video and a great explanation of high G vs low G advantages/disadvantages. You really helped me! I just need two tenor ukulele set up both ways! Thanks!

Glen Rose is a jazz musician/teacher with courses on jazzy ukulele. He says he highly recommends using a low G if you want to play beautiful jazz chords. Here's his explanation and demo: Why I use a Low G on my Ukulele - Glen Rose ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mLq91wmtevU.html . I use an Aquila Red low-G non-wound strings on my tenor and concert ukes with low G. They don't squeak when you slide your finger along the string, whereas metal-wound low-G strings make an annoying squeak. Some people say the Aquila Reds break too easily. I haven't had that problem. When they're new, I tighten them gradually to give them hours to stretch and adapt.

I watched that video! A looooong time ago when I was teaching myself about jazz and chord melody. I bought a low G string and… I didn’t vibe with it, at first. Over time I did but the better my arranging skills got that more I used the high G for jazz, emphasizing fluid melodies over bigger chords. My low G I mostly use to strum my favorite cowboy songs on hahaha

@jn8055 Год назад

Nice and easy to understand; more low G blues please.

@turbochargedus-vz5dz Год назад

Excellent video, explanation and advice! 😎

@angiegeis3944 Год назад

That was interesting. Nice ukulele there too. My mother in law has one from Hawaii, it’s a high G and the sound hole is the Hawaiian islands. I only have 1 ukulele. A Mitchell concert high G. I love it.

@timakey4678 9 месяцев назад

I like the low “g” enough that I ended up with two. One tenor and one Baritone restrung low “g” C E A. I really enjoy the fullness of the lower notes.

@billyaitken7461 Год назад

High, low, 8-strings & Banjolele …you know you need one of each…and possibly an electric too🤔🤗🤩!!! I put a low G on a concert that I’d bought as a ‘cheaper’ Uke for outdoors & boating ……😮😵‍💫🤯!!!…..it’s now my favourite go-to Uke, it utterly changed the volume & tone. Get yourself a low G string and just try it on all your regular ukes, you might just make a pleasant discovery😊.

@TenThumbsProductions Год назад

I met someone that had a soprano body with a tenor neck and low G, wild but it sounded great.

@billyaitken7461 Год назад

@@TenThumbsProductions I got a zebrawood composite concert at the Aloha markets, Oahu. It’s cosmetically a ‘Factory Second’, it sounded nice enough but when I tried that wound G …🤯🤯🤩👍. I really recommend everyone that’s thinking about a low G to just buy a single low G string and try it on their uke collection 😊👍.

@cherrytang1946 Год назад

Tyler, I like that Ohana you’re playing! 😊 I’ll play it like that for awhile, but I have some bari-tenor strings (dGBE and DGBE) that I want to try out. My hands ache whenever I try to play a baritone ukulele.

@TenThumbsProductions Год назад

It’s soooo much bigger

@drewtraub9586 7 месяцев назад

As a guitar player first I have lean towards that low G on the uke.

@TenThumbsProductions 7 месяцев назад

That is instinct for sure but push yourself with the high G and explore the comfort zone. It is very cool for instrumental styles and playing melody. Well, do what you enjoy but if you have two ukuleles keep one high G.

@dsd-downshiftdave8056 7 месяцев назад

I seen a uke player who equip a ukulele with both a low G and high G So actually had 5 strings Have you ever done this? What are your thoughts

@TenThumbsProductions 7 месяцев назад

They an be a lot of fun, I don't think they make great go to Ukuleles but they sound amazing for certain types of songs. I really love way they sound when you fingerpick. That is really a personal preference as you can play any song you want to with them.

@lakeforestfish7707 6 месяцев назад

I had to switch to a high g to work with Yousician. I sadly gave away 2 other tenors with low g to my daughter (I say sad because I DOUBT she uses them). I NEED another tenor. Guess I need to win 1, eh.

I've been playing my 8 string uke a lot recently. It has both low and high G. It is supposed to have 2 different C's and drone on the 2 highest , but I have a drone on the C's as the high C ( oh yeah!!!!) is a bit too high.

@TenThumbsProductions Год назад

8 string? Did someone say Stairway?

@stevenroys Год назад

Tyler, is that a baritone body Ohana tenor? You like it?

@TenThumbsProductions Год назад

Yea, that is exactly what it was and I LOVED it.

@juanecoperu 5 месяцев назад

Can you start with B instead of a G

@TenThumbsProductions 5 месяцев назад

You mean can the lowest note on the lowest string be tuned to B? That will create a lot of tension on the neck and it is bad for the guitar.

@stevenroys Год назад

I was looking at one and wondered how accessible the upper frets are.

@TenThumbsProductions Год назад

That depends more on the ukulele. I’ve played sopranos that sounded great at the 12th fret and tenors that have no sustain at the 10th. I would say the best thing you could do is get your hands on one and remember anything over the 12th fret is a bonus.

@brendan017 Год назад

It's pretty funny that you've done this video because I have been looking up videos on low g strings. Seeing as the songs I play are guitar songs, I may aswell try to sound more like a guitar. Question, wound or unwound? What's your preference?

@TenThumbsProductions Год назад

I actually snap the wound strings on the ukulele, I’ve found unwound last longer and the sound isn’t that different.

@brendan017 Год назад

@@TenThumbsProductions I was leaning towards unwound so that settles it, cheers bro!

@mariontl6764 3 месяца назад

@@TenThumbsProductions Thank you for this well done video. Have spent many hours today on the net researching Low G strings. I was leaning towards a wound Low G at first, but read comments including yours saying they don't last very long. I have a solid mahogany Kala tenor, which came with D'Addario Titanium strings with high G. I like more of a deeper guitar sound over the traditional ukulele sound. I am considering a Worth Brown fluorocarbon Low G set of strings, or D'Addario EJ99TLG - Pro-Arte Carbon Ukulele String Set. Any feedback appreciated. Thank you.

@johngafford9252 Год назад

Great info. Do I need to alter the nut for low G?

@DussyHoppers Год назад

Yes. The string is thicker, so you will have to file the slot slightly wider and deeper.

On my tener I didn’t have to, but I would say on many ukuleles yes. Throw it on and see!

@sherrybirchall8677 2 месяца назад

Okay, we're 6 minutes in and i don't know if you are going to cover anything but obvious facts. Apparently, a lot of people like a long, drawn out explanation of how many extra notes, and the note names. Maybe some thumbnails would help.

At one point in time you didn’t know this information, you learned it. This is for people who aren’t where you are at. No need to get all bent out of shape.
