What are musical chords?

A musical chord is a combination of two or more different notes that are played together at the same time to create a particular sound. Each chord is named after the root note being played. For example, a "C chord" would be when the notes C, E, and G are played together. A chord progression is a series of these chords played in succession. By playing chords in a sequence, melodies are constructed, and the music begins to move.

How To Tune a Ukulele

All instruments need to be set to exact pitches in order to play music in modern scales. This process is called tuning, in which the instrument is carefully tuned to specific pitches. String instruments like the ukulele have tuning pegs, which can be turned in both directions to either raise or lower the pitch that corresponds to one of the ukulele strings. Each time you play your ukulele, it is very important to ensure that the instrument is in tune. This is particularly important when playing with other musicians, in order to create harmonies and avoid discordant sounds. Below, we'll go through more details of the common ukulele tunings.

Microphone Ukulele Tuner

The simplest method for tuning a ukulele is to use a microphone-based tuner. You can play each string on the ukulele directly into a microphone, which can provide real-time feedback as you play. You will be able to see visually whether the note is either too flat or too sharp, which you can use to adjust the tension of the ukulele string. As long as you are on a device with a microphone (like a phone, tablet, or laptop), you can use our microphone-based tuner above.

Ukulele Tunings

While the ukulele can be tuned to a wide range of notes, there are a handful of commonly used tunings that are recommended for playing popular music. It is recommended to use these tunings, but other tunings can be useful for more experimental work. On the uke, the botttom-most string is typically tuned to a note that is higher than the note on the 2nd bottom-most string. Tunings denote this with a lower case letter, as in the standard tuning, gCEA. Each of the four letters of the tuning name denote the corresponding string on the ukulele, starting from the bottom (the string closest to your chest).

gCEA - Standard Tuning

The most popular ukulele tuning is known as gCEA. The vast majority of song tabs, chord charts, and other ukulele resources, are written with the assumption of gCEA ukulele tuning. This makes it the easiest tuning option for playing along to songs, or when jamming with other uke players. This tuning makes it very easy to play in the key of C major, which is a popular song key for a lot of music.

aDF#B - D Tuning

D Tuning, which uses the notes aDF#B, just takes the original standard tuning and shifts everything up by one whole tone (two frets). Just like how standard tuning makes it easy to play in the key of C major, this D tuning makes it simple to play in the key of D major. This tuning was more popular during the 1920s and 1930s, so it will match up better when playing songs from that era.

DGBE - Chicago Tuning

The DGBE tuning, which is sometimes referred to as Chicago tuning, is more popular on some of the larger ukuleles, and is the most common tuning on the baritone ukulele. This tuning matches up exactly with the top 4 strings of the guitar in standard tuning. Because of this, DGBE tuning works very well when translating songs and chords between guitar and ukulele. It is an excellent tuning for playing along to more guitar-based songs.

fA#DG - A#/Bb Tuning

The fA#DG tuning is less common than other ukulele tunings, but it still useful in some situations. This ukulele tuning shifts all musical pitches down by one whole tone (two frets), which makes it easier to play music in the key of A#/Bb. This tuning is also useful for cases where you would like to bring the ukulele pitches slightly lower, to fit with certain song keys that benefit from access to these lower notes, or to make it easier to sing along in certain musical keys.

How To Tune Your Ukulele

Before you start playing your ukulele, it's always best to make sure it's in tune. On this page we'll talk you through the different ways you can tune a ukulele. You'll learn about using electronic tuners, relative tuning, tuning with a piano, and with a guitar. Of course, the way you choose to tune your ukulele depends on what you have available at the time, but it's good to know how each approach works. So, let's get started.

What Is Standard Ukulele Tuning?

The open strings on a ukulele are most commonly tuned to the notes G, C, E, and A. This is known as standard tuning. To create a more rounded even sound, some people prefer to string their ukulele with a low G string rather than a high G. It is simply a matter of preference.

Electronic Ukulele Tuning With A Chromatic Tuner

Electronic tuners are a very simple way to tune your ukulele. Some tuners are instrument specific and may only tune certain notes. A chromatic tuner would be the best option, because it will detect every single note. This allows you to check the intonation of your ukulele as well as adjust to non-standard tunings. To use a chromatic tuner, is very straightforward. Play a string on your ukulele, and the device will tell you if it's in tune or not. Adjust your tuning knobs according to the readings until it's in perfect tune. NOTE: Set your tuner to 440hz, no flat symbols, if it has these functions.

Phone Ukulele Tuner Apps

Fun Fact: There are apps that do this exact same thing! You can go download it on your smartphone right now, and start tuning! This is very convenient for on-the-go tuning, and it can be a much cheaper alternative. Some tuning apps that we recommend are: Pitched Tuner, gStrings Tuner.

Relative Tuning A Ukulele

Relative tuning is a method you can use when you're really stuck and have nothing available to help tune your ukulele. It involves tuning the strings relative to one another, so it is a bit tricky and not always 100% accurate, but it's okay if you're playing alone or as a last resort. With relative tuning it is ideal to begin with one string that you feel is somewhat close to being in tune. By assuming that this one string is in tune, we adjust the others. We have broken the method down into steps below:

1. Begin by playing the E string with your finger on the 5th fret, which should be an A note, and tune the E string with the tuning pegs until it sounds the same as the A string.

2. Now put your finger on the 4th fret of the C string, and this note should be an E. Play the C string and tune it until it sounds the same as the E string.

3. Finally, place your finger on the 2nd fret of the G string. This note should be a A. Play the G string and tune it until it sounds the same as the A string.

This method is quite fiddly and can take some getting used to. It's worth noting that there are alternative ways to go about relative tuning; this is just one of them.

Tuning A Ukulele With A Piano

If you have a tuned piano (or a keyboard) available, then this is a great way to tune your ukulele because pianos can be used as a reference. This method involves playing notes on the piano and tuning the respective string on your ukulele until it sounds the same as the piano note. The diagram below illustrates which piano keys correspond to the G, C, E, and A notes. C is the same as middle C on the piano.

Tuning A Ukulele With A Guitar

In a similar way to tuning with a piano, you can use a tuned guitar to tune your ukulele. This method is ideal if you're playing along with a guitarist. The G, C, E, and A ukulele strings correspond to the following notes on the guitar:

Simply tune your ukulele string until it sounds the same as the corresponding note played on the guitar.

Ukuleles are made of quality wood therefore it is important to take good care of them no matter if you use the instrument on a regular basis or not too often.

The following tips are meant to provide some guidance for young ukulele players.

Always store the uke in a cool and dry place. The ideal temperature to store it is about 25 C.

Avoid exposing the uke directly to the sun to prevent damage.

If you decide not to play the uke for a period of time, it is recommended to loosen the strings. If the strings remain stretched for a long time, damage to the neck could occur.

Always place the uke in its proper case. If your case is made of nylon, the easiest way to put the uke inside is by following these steps:

1. Open the case zipper

2. Hold one side of the zippered end of the case with one hand.

3. Grab the uke at the bottom/wide end with the other hand.

4. Feed the uke into the bag head and neck first.

5. Make sure the strings are on the same side of the bag as the letters.

Also, our songbooks have been designed to fit nicely in the uke case.

Lastly, close the zipper and store it in a safe place.

But these Get to Know Your Ukulele printables are handy for all beginning ukulele players- kids and grown-ups alike.

Any musician needs to know her/his instrument, so I've included two versions of a ukulele diagram. The chart on the left is a variation of what's included in lesson one of my beginner's course, and all of the parts are labeled. The chart on the right makes an activity page out of it (I was inspired by my first grader's homework!).
