    It looks like you chose a soprano ukulele, I think a tenor might have given you a better tone and playability. You will also have a broader selection of linear strings low G rather than reentrant tuning standard on ukes.

    Given the Ukuleles tonal restrictions (and it being at least an Octave too high compared to Guitar), I thought this was pretty cool. The songs are recognizable and “fun”, which is why the Uke is such a fun instrument.

    • @MichaelSotoCE

    Oh, what fun! Mike, I noticed that you discovered that inverting the 5ths on the ukulele helps fatten the chords. Dropping the C string a 1/2 step to B also works well for many songs in the keys of E and E minor, as well as B and many others. Cheers from the Green Bay Ukulele Club!

  • @ryangoodrow8829

    I love all of the songs normally, and while none sound better on uke, they all sound pretty good. My reaction to a lot of the riffs was that I thought they sounded “cuter” and “tingier.” Fade to black’s solo sounded a lot happier as well

  • @MashaT22
    @MashaT22 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Advice: You need a low g string on that uke. Perhaps also wound strings. Also, if you had an acoustic-electric uke, you could plug into an amp to use distortion and other pedals to help with sustain and the tone.

    Fade To Black, One, The Unforgiven, Sad But True and Wherever I May Roam are my favourites.
    The heavy parts of Wherever I May Roam and For Whom The Bell Tolls sound really good - the former as it has a Flamenco vibe and the latter as it sounds entertaining :0

    My honest opinion. That machine gun part on One sounded the heaviest on this vid . Sounds awesome. I have a 19 fret ukulele which im going to try learning Metallica on . With ukulele it sounds all choppy in sound which makes it difficult. I play Metallica on electric and a bit of bass electric aswell .

    If you swap the high G string for Low G string you get better sound (more like a guitar) and it will give you 5 more notes that you wont get with the hig G string.
    Electric ukeleles have a lot more options for playing these songs also.

    i had a ukulele (or a Uke, as they're called in the ukulele community) and it was the cheapest piece of garbage i ever bought.
    i got it at a 5 and below (which for those who don't know, it's basically a dollar store, but the prices range from $5 and less) and it just looked cheap, and sounded even cheaper.
    it was so cheap in fact, my little sister was messing around with the tuners when i was at a friends house and broke every string.
    but i didn't bother getting mad at her, because it was just a cheap hunk of plastic.
    i actually tried to play actual songs on it, and i could only play Wait and Bleed by Slipknot, Mutter by Rammstein, Freak on a Leash by Korn and Nothing Else Matters by Metallica, but you wouldn't be able to tell that's what i was playing, because the strings were like a silicon material, so instead of making melodic sounds, they just sort of clicked in a vaguely melodic tone.
    even though it was cheap, it still felt like a waste of money...

    I learned on the ukulele in intermediate school and transitioned to the guitar because I felt shredding on the ukulele just wasn’t enough for me. It’s still a really good instrument though and people like Jake Shimabukaro and Honoka and Azita can do some pretty amazing stuff on it.
    edit: I wanted to mention that you should’ve gotten yourself a tenor ukulele as it’s bigger and more comfortable to play than the concert uke you have. Also, you should get yourself a string set with a low G so you have better range.

    I wonder if you could tune it differently, like to D standard, i.e. like a guitar but without the A and low E strings. Not exactly the most revolutionary thing in the world, but given its medium to high pitched nature he may be good for licks and harmonies.
