Elise Ecklund Could you do a tutorial of Human Nature by Michael Jackson please?
Elise Ecklund don't worry everything about you is perfect
Definitely found it easier to transition from ukulele to guitar....the struggle has been trying to learn piano. That shit is hard to teach yourself
Megan yes!!!! and I want to learn classical music which takes many many years ......ill just play cello instead 😂😍
I agree 100%. I’ve taught myself ukulele and guitar, and tried to move on to piano, but it’s not as easy as I had assumed...
Lillie Shippy I can play “do you want to build a snowman” on the piano and that’s where I am after 6 years of trying to teach myself haha
Guitar and ukulele were a piece of cake
Megan Ahaha the struggle is real
Megan It takes time to learn... and it takes a lot of practice
I really needed this vid lol. The uke is super easy to me but then I try to play the guitar and it’s real hard. Thanks 👌
you're welcome!!:)
Your profile pic 😂
Natalie Alfera fur me it's he opposite
I play the guitar but I struggle with Uke
Here i am watching without having ukulele or ever guitar 😂😂 .. but i hope having a ukulele soon.
Hamsa Essam Same here, but I’m trying to choose between a Ukulele or a Guitar.
I have a guitar lying around my room AND I'm getting a ukulele soon
I like stringed instruments
Same😭🙌 because i don't have enought money to buying guitar.. i hope one day i can buying guitar and travel around the world with guitar...
Same
“if you’re a child, get a child guitar”
Me, technically a child: but what if... what if .... what if long spindly bony hands?
Your name got me DEAD
congrats. thats exactly what you want vs short, fat and stubby...
OMG YOUR USERNME- AAEAHHH *dies*
Transitioning from the violin to the guitar is pretty hard for me, so I settled for the ukulele :) best thing ever!
Tbh the transition would be the pretty much the same for guitar or ukulele.. they both have the same principles... u should’ve chosen guitar since it has fuller sound and it more authentic IMO
B3kwags: they share most of the basics but definitely not the same principles. If that were to be true, then what's the darn difference between these two? The ukulele is drastically smaller than a guitar, in fact it's roughly the same size of a full size violin! Let's not forget about the fingerboard; it's not as wide as a guitar's, and the chords are easier to play. A F chord on the uke is simpler than that on a guitar. Furthermore, playing an instrument with 2 extra strings than what you're normally used to is challenging. Yeah, I agree that the guitar sounds far more wholesome, but the ukulele helped me transition to said instrument! I have no regrets in buying and investing time into this fun little uke :)
Paula Pueblito Lopez good on you then! :) It was just my opinion lol ( I play piano, violin and started the classic beautiful guitar 5 weeks ago) 👍👍
Hey I know this comment is old but Mandolin has the same tuning as a violin, it's just picked instead of bowed, so it might be an easy transition.
I played biotin for a year,then quit cause I didn’t like it then played guitar for fun and didn’t learn anything from it,now I play uke and defiinently found my favourite instrument
To convert a guitar into a ukulele, just put a capo at the fifth fret and play only the bottom four strings.
You should do playing Uke chords on guitar and guitar chords on Uke!
Pun Master this is good I hope she noticed this
That would be kinda hard because they have a different amount of strings but it’s a good idea
Oh dang that'd be hard for guitar to uke bc guitar has 6 strings instead of 4 so DAAAAANG
A lot of the chords are the same, just called different things. Like D on guitar is G on ukulele.
if you put a capo on your guitar on the 5th fret then the bottom four strings are tuned the same as the ukulele. the only difference is that the G string is an octave lower, but still pretty similar.
Transition from being an uke player to a guitar player is very challenging for me . In my first journey in learning ukulele i really love watching your tutorial because some of your tutorials are very easy to learn so after few months i bought a guitar since i often like challenging myself more.There are times that i almost give up but after two months I'm proud to say that i can strum without looking at my fretboard. Thanks a lot 😘
Yay! I'm so happy to hear that you are making progress! Keep it up!:)
I find it helpful to realize that the strings on a ukulele are tuned up a fourth from the top four strings on a guitar. That’s why a G has the same chord shape as a D on the guitar. A ukulele is like a guitar with a capo on the fifth fret, missing two base strings, and the fourth string up an octave. That might be confusing to some, but I find it helpful when transposing songs.
this is so weird i was just thinking about learning guitar thank you mom
That's awesome!! You're welcome!!:)
So glad you made this video my mom is taking me for lessons next week for my first time doing a music lessons and she told me to choose a ukulele or guitar and I need to choose and now I see the difference thanks for making this video
honestly guitar is so hard for me just because of the fact that it has six strings instead of 4 so I just use a baritone uke bc it has 4 strings but they’re the same as the bottom 4 on a guitar
ThnksFrTh TwentyØnePhallØutDiscøs Lol I need to try tjat
Preach
YES MOM, i needed this video cause ive been trying to use the guitar from the ukulele!
Thank you so much elise! You inspired me to play the ukulele . I got mine last year. Now I'm trying to learn the guitar. This video helped me so much. Keep making amazing videos like this one.
Love from India
OMG I REALLY NEEDED THIS VIDEO RIGHT NOW THANKS ELISE!!! I’ve been playing the ukulele for a while now and recently got a guitar and having difficulty playing it. This video was super helpful! Thank you 😊 ❤️
So I've been playing the ukulele for like 1 year and last month I found an old guitar in my grandma's house so I'm learning guitar rn and I relate to everything in this video!! Thanks Elise, the best as always❤
I'm going to be getting an Electric Guitar, so I decided to watch this hoping for advice. I definitely got what I needed! Thanks for all the help Elise! ^^
Perfect timing Elise! I just got a guitar last week and I’m super excited to learn.
I clicked so quickly! This tutorial was so helpful for me right now because I just got a new guitar! Thanks for posting. Love this channel🥀❤️
Hiya Elise, A great video and it's really nice to see the transition going from Uke to Guitar, as they are usually the other way around! Love your top too. Thanks very much and stay safe and well, from England.❤️🎸🎶🌞
Yay I’m so happy I found this! I got a uke last year for Christmas and LOVED it. This year I got a guitar and was having a very hard time transitioning to using a pick for strumming/fingerpicking and my friend kept making fun of me telling me I needed to use a pick, that that’s the proper way to play. You made me feel better using fingerstyle haha. Happy holidays. 😊
I'm just glad I've already done the transition. It's hecking relieving.
Thank you! I actually thought about learning guitar after learning ukulele. The video really helped ! 😊😊
My birthday is coming up, I have a guitar and a keyboard but I really want a ukulele! I just found your channel and I love it! Definitely gonna ask for ukulele to learn to play it!
we have the same guitar c o n n e c t e d
Who's it made by cuz mine looks the same as hers
That is what a ton of them look lkke

Love your channel, because of you I'm able to play the uke. ❤️❤️❤️
Like magic this video is uploaded 😂 I start my first guitar class tomorrow and I've been playing uke for a few months
I was so confused whether to buy a guitar or piano since I’ve been learning the ukulele and this helps a lot thanks!
You're welcome!! I'm so happy to hear that it helps!!:)
Perfect timing! I just started guitar

Convenient timing I played the uke and I started playing the guitar LAST WEEK
Yasss Another video from The best ukulele player ever c: You are such an inspirational youtuber to help me to start to keep going on the Donnor Concert ukulele I have :D
Omg I requested this video and I needed it so much!!! I currently only play around 5 guitar chords and this vid is so helpful ty!!!
I needed this video for so long. Thank's queen.
This is crazy, yesterday i thought about playing/learning Guitar and now you upload this Video

Thank you very much this really helped me I'm getting my guitar next week! 😆 and you've been my inpiration since i started playing the uke😊😊
That's awesome!! I'm so happy to hear this helped:)
Elise Ecklund omg hi elise I'm such a bug fannnnn!!! 😱😱😍😍😱
Omg TYSM i've been learning guitar and it's so much harder than the uke (but that's kind of obvious lol). Most of this stuff i'm pretty familiar with, but the video was still helpful regardless. Great advice! Thanks boo!
Also, i hope you'll start making some more guitar tutorials!! I miss those! :)
Watching the daily Elise video! Also I got a new baby yesterday (ukulele) and it is amazing! I was laughing so hard because I buckled my ukulele up lol. I ❤️this channel because your tutorials are so helpful and the editing is always on point 👏. I want to thank you for helping me from day one ☝️! Thank you so much for all you do on your channel and I hope you have a great day drink your water eat your vegetables and be a good person,Bye!
This is actually really helpful since I've been thinking about playing guitar and I already have been playing ukulele! :D
I'm so happy to hear that!!:)
Can you do a voice lesson video? or at least how to have a calm voice when singing and/or talking? that would be helpful. Just cause your voice is so soft and calming. Anyways, ily!
Fascinating! I play neither but I want to learn guitar! Thanks for the awesome information!
this helped me learn guitar in general, thank you so much 💓
You are my favorite youtuber! Ilysm
I was waiting for this video thx♥️♥️♥️
Hello! Thanks for the video! I have recently transitioned from uke to guitar and this video should help! 😘😀
I’ve had a guitar for like 8 years but I’ve never had lessons and could never play it. I’ve been playing uke (self taught) since November and love it. I’ve just decided to have a go at my guitar again, kind of a coincidence that you posted this right now! 😂 thanks!
This is SOOO helpful!! I keep playing ukulele chords on my guitar, and it sounds really odd. xD Thank you!
If you wanna use uke chords on a guitar put your capo on 5th fret and use only the highest 4 strings, that is the same tuning as a ukulele
I literally get on TH-cam with my guitar at the ready, freaking out because I've realized hardly any of the chords translate over from my ukelele and there are so many strings *HELP* only to see this - Elise, you are a L I F E S A V E R
I love how you upload so much! keep it up! :)
I don't even have one, but i'm planning to!
I think the tenor is the best for me.
I am searching for videos like this Thank you so much.
you're welcome!!:)
You honestly make me so happy❤️🖤 I love you so much
Awh you're so sweet!! ily
Great video. Very Helpful. thank you
I play both and this is super helpful. Thank you!!
You ROCK for making this video. So much love 👍❤🤗❤❤
I just started playing guitar, good timing making this video thanks :D
You posted this vid a few hours after my mom suggested learning guitar after I mastered my uke!
Thank you so much! This is very helpful!
"Why are the frets so big?!" Thats what I thought when I first tried to play guitar.
Lol, when i played ukulele the First time, I thought the frets was too small (I have both instruments, but I have played guitar 3 years before I got my first uke)
Thankss Elisuuu❤️🌸
After playing my ukelele, i found it suuuuuper easy to play the guitar. Im even considering getting an electric guitar wish me luck😂
Quiara Camacho It's one thing to learn chords and just strumming them, and another to play them arpeggiated in a technique called "sweep picking" so try that if you aren't being challenged yet :D
THANK U VERRRYYY MUCH!!!! I REALLY NEEDED THIS!
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS LAST WEEK, I FOUND NOTHING. THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOUUUUU

Elise Ecklund 😁do you talk to your subscribers or fans on insta cuz I've been willing to talk to you!
I need this so much, because last last week i bought my uke and learned from ur vids, and now i bought my ac. guitar and i thought it will be easy for me but i failed ;-;
thank you mom! i just started playing guitar yesterday and this helped! :P
I bought a Ukulele Sept/Oct last year and now, I'm planning to buy a guitar for my 21st birthday in July. I started writing songs when I got the ukulele last year and I think now I'm finally ready for the guitar. In the meantime, I will keep on writing and learn my guitar soon and maybe.... by summer next year, I'd be going out to public and start performing for real haha. Will be updating! Summer 2022.
Please make a guitar scales vid! For some reason your the only guitar “teacher” on the internet that I can understand and like
I also started playing guitar and then moved to uke. if u start with guitar the ukulele is SO EASY!!! XD great video as always 💕
I'm early! I love you sooooo much!!!
When I started guitar, I had never played ukulele and still haven’t, I had my dads guitar the he tried playing when he was in 5th grade. It was about 30 years old. Luckily after having lessons for around 6 months, they let my get a new one for my birthday, and let me tell you, it was phenomenal having the action not 6 inches from the fretboard lol
thank you for this!!
Hey Elise I just want to say that your my favourite TH-camr
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yaasss queen! U r my insperation x
I always planning if I'm gonna play ukulele or guitar and I pick ukulele because I think it's easy to learn and now I want to try guitar
Gotta get the felt ukulele pics
Great sound little effort!
Thank you for this... I play ukulele and really want to play guitar!
When you first do uke when you do guitar you're like *it's to big aaaah there 6 strings this is hard*
And when you start of with guitar and start ukulele you're like *this is so small and awkward to hold aaaah theres only 4 strings I've way less to work with*
