Unlock The Ukulele Fingerboard With Chord Shapes 

This is the kind of teaching, there should be more of it, but it's more found in books than on youtube. thanks so much

You sir, are a masterful teacher. Merci.

This was an excellent presentation/lesson....thanks my man...

This is very helpful for me, a new player, thank you. I realise that it may be the convention, but, to me, the keyboard appears to be upside down and that adds a level of complexity in understanding where notes are and how they are combined to form chords.

Thank you😊

Very interesting indeed, thank you Phil. It reminds me of a moment in 1964 at secondary school when I finally understood algebra. Light bulb moment? I should say so.

Thanks Phil. Great Lesson. Greetings from Australia.

~Just came across your video & thank you for taking time to reveal your knowledge of music...I am learning but can see that it is not easy....but love every minute 😊

A a visual person I found this to be VERY helpful! Thank you!

Great stuff. Life becomes easier when you explain things. Thank you.

Thank you. I am so grateful for this info. It opens up a new way of playing for me.

Thank’s 😊

Great video ✊️ 💯💯💯💯💯

Excellent video as always!

Thank you

Thanks for another clear and easily followed lesson. I am practicing moveable chords on my bari uke but it isn't much fun. To make practice more enjoyable I have been trying to dig out some jazz songs, each of which can be played with only small range of these chords, but it is proving difficult. Your "Please don't talk about me when I've gone" video provided me with one for the first time. Could you perhaps recommend some, or even demo a few by video sometime?

Thanks 😊

Thank you!!!❤

I’m glad I’ve subscribed to your channel. You have made this process clear and understandable. Well done and thanks a million.

Aloha and pehea `oe (hello and how are you?) As a Hawaiian, ukulele is actually pronounced OOO-koo-lay-lay (with laylay quickly enunciated and not dragged out so it sounds like laay laay.) I just want to bring to your attention that recently Iʻve been hearing (even Google pronounciation) iukaleli (Yu-kah-lay-LEE.) There is no iu (

Yet again another great lesson! I've recently purchased Phil's Book "How Music Works on the Ukulele" which goes into more detail. I highly recommend it.

Thank you for a great lession!

I get the concepts as I’m versed in music theory. I can find the notes when I have time don’t think I’ll know them on the fly.

thanks you so much sir

I’ll be honest I’m genuinely trying my best to learn uke, I’ve been playing since June of last year. I’m able to use some chords but it’s the basic chords ya know. I’m trying to learn more of the fingerboard so I don’t feel like I’m playing the same stuff. This confused me not saying anything about your teaching by any means. From the comments you’ve helped a lot of people. Is this technique the simplest it gets? I’m just trying to learn. I want to be able to come up with crazy cool songs but I have to learn more first. If anyone has anything tips or suggestions that would be awesome. It might’ve just been me having a hard time understanding the diagram you used. Anyways thanks for reading if ya did!

This video alone will unlock your playing. Identifying chord notes and recognizing note position in scales is enough for basically everything and anything. Learn your fretboard and theory and you'll be on your way to expert level!

Thanks!

Fantastic 🙋

Merci!

Loving this! My only question is when there is 2 notes the same in a chord can one of the duplicates be left out? For instance the nasty Bb? Thank you so much for this, really a BIG help!

Hi Phil, hope I can ask one more question? What would be the reason for leaving duplicate notes in a chord when it is so much easier to play without them?

Your voice is so familiar but I can't place it.

Now I am even more confused.

Thanks!

Thanks!
