Generally small size 24-26-28 and other size of the instrument, beginner entry is also easy to use and easy to carry and easy to hold, compared to the guitar, ukulele chords are relatively simple and easy to press, nylon strings are soft and easy to sound. The fretboard is relatively short and narrow in length and width, and the fretboard with 4 strings is easy to hold, not as wide as the guitar.

So when you come into contact with ukuleles, you should know that although ukuleles are sold on the streets, ukuleles are not necessarily cheap. Although the ukulele is small, he is not simpler than the guitar.

If you want to learn ukulele by yourself, I suggest that you can use the search engine search, you can open WeChat, search: Xi Shi Reading, which has sorted out the ukulele's comprehensive system teaching**, covering: beginner entry, intermediate advanced, advanced promotion, music score demonstration and explanation, etc., for beginners to mastery, it is very easy to use.

After learning the ukulele systematically, you will know how to learn the ukulele. You can just divide the ukulele into finger and chords. There are many finger strokes, such as two-fingering and so on. The chords are used with the left and right hands, melody and finger articulation to achieve the effect.

Beginner Tips:

1. Learn how to tune. First of all, after the ukulele tuner is turned on normally, turn the tuner to ukulele mode, the pointer on the tuner is on the left side to represent the tone is lower than the standard tone, the pointer is in the middle position to represent the pitch, and the pointer is on the right side to represent the tone is higher than the standard tone, and the knob needs to be tightened.

2. Understand the four-line staff. The staff is very simple, the four horizontal lines are the four strings, and the number on the horizontal line is the fret that the left hand needs to hold, and it is also the target string that the right hand needs to play.

3. Learn a simple playing technique: arpeggios. Use your right thumb to pluck the 4321 strings slowly and at a constant speed.

4. Play and sing. Practice simply and repeatedly according to the given score, practice makes perfect.

2. Learn more about the ukulele, the names of each part and their functions.

3. Tuning the ukulele and correcting the pitch is very important.

4. Learn the left and right fingering techniques, how to press the strings, pluck the strings, and strump the ukulele.

5. Stupid sedan car to learn how to understand the first score, if there is no ** foundation, you can first learn to bury the simple four-line staff.

6. Find the time difference and practice often.

<>First of all, you have to know why you learned this instrument, and this is also the motivation to keep going when you encounter a bottleneck in your later practice! Then pick a favorite ukulele.

Tuning [only when the sound is right can you play a good tune].

After the piano is in hand, first feel the feeling of the small ukulele lying in your arms, haha!! Then the first thing is how to make Meimei Xiaoyou make a beautiful piano sound, that is, tuning! When tuning, pay attention to the following points [don't be stupid like me and can't tell t t]:

Generally, press and hold the switch for power-on!

Switch to the correct mode (short press the switch to switch mode), that is, display U mode or UKE mode: in the ukulele tuning mode, only 1234 and AECG will appear, and other letters and numbers appear to indicate that the mode is not right!

The order of the strings: 1234 strings from right to left.

The direction of string twist and tightness: the string twist of the 12 strings is loose in the direction of the headstock, and tightened in the direction of the box; The twist of the 34-string string is the opposite of the 12-string, i.e. it is tight towards the headstock and loose towards the box.

The tuner shows that the tone is right, but the actual sound that pops up is weird: the tone is a loop, so it may be a high octave or a lower octave, you can compare the tightness of the strings to distinguish, if it is particularly tight, it is generally a high octave, then screw it in the loose direction to the next match with a correct letter and number; If it is particularly loose, it is generally a lower octave, and the correct letters and numbers are screwed in the tight direction to the previous sun.

2.Reading: Continuing with the last one in the previous topic, you have to learn to read the stave before you can play the little star after the tuning is over, right?

So let's understand how to look at the stave and what the symbols on it mean. To sum it up, there are the following:

The four lines from top to bottom represent 1234 strings, the numbers 1234 and so on represent the 1234 frets to be pressed by the left hand, and the number 0 represents that the left hand does not need to press the strings, that is, the empty strings; The vertical bar is a bar.

Time value: half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes [expressed as the length of each note]; Two-minute rest, four-minute rest, eighth-minute rest, sixteenth rest [representing the length of the pause].

Chord symbols: In the chord diagram, the black dot is marked on which fret the left hand is correspondingly pressed by that fret, and the number on the black dot indicates which finger is used [1 is the left index finger, 2 is the middle finger, 3 is the ring finger, and 4 is the little finger].

3.The left and right hands are basic to pluck the strings.
