SamTheHumanPan uwu I have NO idea how to fix it! My mum said she’d get me lessons at the music shop down the road But I don’t get what I need lessons for? I’m doing it fine, my ukulele is just annoying XD can I ask what uke you have? it could be the make
Sophie _ I think maybe it’s bc ur fingers are touching the other strings while they’re touching the right ones too...? Idk how to explain it. Lol sorry I’m no help :/
the problem here is that the ring finger ALWAYS gets in the way of the 1st string and so what happens is that it completely mutes the sound. i found that if you switch the middle finger and index finger position, it helps to prevent that. it might not be the proper "form" but if it works, then who really cares lol.
@@avasmith2274 Try having your fingers exactly on the metal rod part of the fret or push down the strings more to make sure you are actually pushing them down enough. I know this comment was old and you most likely figured it out by now but still wanted to try and help other people who read this
I am having the same problem! it worked when I made sure my nails R entirely cut. Make sure all your knuckles are bent especially the pink finger that you don't use.
Elorabora it helps a lot to practice the changes without a strum pattern. For example play a G and F over and over again without a strum pattern so when you start the strum pattern it’ll be much easier. Good luck!!!
Hey! I just got my ukulele yesterday, actually bought two. I have a tenor and soprano. I was having trouble with the G chord, but I figured it out. When I was playing, the strings almost muted, and I was so confused and wasn't sure if I was pressing too hard, or too light. Basically, what I was doing was not pressing hard enough and touching my other fingers on the other string(s). What I did was practiced curving my fingers more when I layed them on the strings, and then I pressed very hard on the strings. This way when you press hard it makes the string shorter, which makes the sound different. Because I'm new to playing, I already have some blisters and sore fingers from playing, but after a while of practice you will get used to it and your fingers will be more calloused, so that will help you play. Hope this helps! :)
I still cannot do this after trying over and over I can’t tell I’m my ukulele is to small or if I’m touching two strings with the same fingers..can someone please help me out? P.s who else came here after trying to learn riptide
Same here. I was working on switching chords faster then I realized I was doing g7 instead of g so I'm basically starting over. The BUZZING is driving me nuts... I hope I figure it out soon! You guys are a few weeks ahead of me, I bet it's easy now!
I know it might sound selfish but so good to know others are struggling w G. Thought it was just me. Feels like my fingers are too big and uncoordinated. Back to practicing.
So glad I found your channel. No matter the string, G chords are the bane of my existence! This method makes me more willing to practice! Thanks so much. I've subscribed for more tutorials! (I did get myself a uke after I gifted my classical guitar to a young man in my church, I couldn't travel with it, good excuse to get the classical ukulele I've always wanted. On to conquer the G chord!
The explanation here was thorough and useful. A beginner should benefit from this finger-by-finger demonstration,. I wish that I had focused on getting that proper technique when learning new chords. Here, although I already was familiar with the G chord, I was able to improve my hand position and technique for changing between chords. Playing will improve now.
I was having so much trouble with this. I am a flutist and am used to playing with the pads of my fingers to cover the holes completely. Ok, so I figured out "why," but in any case, it felt if I played any more on the tip I was going to fall off! LOL. Your video really helped me. I'm going to look at your lessons. I want to be able to add some harmony with my recorder classes this year! Thanks.
Love these lessons! I struggle with ukulele but I love playing it. Thank you so much for teaching me how to play g! Now I can play my fav song riptide!
I realized that it’s easier to put my 3rd finger down first, then second, than first. I was starting with my first finger down and it was hard for the rest to follow
Thank you so much for showing us. Could you show us how to correctly postion the right index to play ( going down and going up) if you don't have long nails?
I know where to put my fingers it’s just that when I play the chord it sounds bad. I’ve been playing the uke for 3 years and I just can’t get it :( G and G7 sound alike kinda, do you have to learn them both?
Hi! I got my ukulele a few weeks ago and I got most of the beginner chords down but G is so hard for me. Every time I try and play the chord, the C string is always muted no matter what I do. Could you please help? :(
This came as a great help for my ululele homework: practicing the d7 and g chord. I'm advanced in my class, so my teacher sends me HARD work. I know how to play g7, c, f, c7, and now d7, but g chord, UGHHHHH!
I’m barely touching the strings with the tip of my finger and they don’t play any sound but the last one do you have any tips or tricks for this if not perfectly ok thanks for your time
Awesome! I was struggling with understanding how to grip the cords (bending my fingers!) and you're video has helped me find a good way to find that position! Now I've got a nice clean g cord. Thank you!
I don’t know why it’s so hard for me to play g I can play d c a f but the g just sounds like only one string is playing
Julia Avery sameeee
I’m doing it right, my fingers are fine, the noise is just muted. I’m not even pressing down hard and it sounds bad

THANK YOU SO MUCH this tip is genuinely amazing
the problem is that it creates bad habits and when u get out of beginer songs you will have to relearn muscle memory and everything basically
I actually did get my ukulele for Christmas this year!
Kaitlyn Ngo welcome to the family!!!
TenThumbs Productions ahh ❤️
I got mine a while ago, but of of the strings won’t tune so I use my mom’s
Whenever I try to play a G chord, the C string buzzes and the A string is muted and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

Learning this so I can apologize to my friends!!
G - always the slowest for me to get to now I see why... ring 1st others follow.. oh yeah! Reprogramming commencing! TY TTP!

But that g... Ughhhhhh
Honestly same

The G was hard for me but the E minor used to be SO hard for me, I would also drop the ukulele when I played it.
Best tutorial for changing C chord to G chord!! It is super helpful! 😊
Thank you Grace! Happy to hear it helped. Now that you've got the G you are really going to start learning the Ukulele very quickly!
does it matter if I switch my index finger and my middle finger for the g chord?
@@spook7009 yes
@@tjgibbs6115 two years later i still switch my fingers for the g chord but ty💀
Brilliant!! I´m just starting to play - and, oh, that G chord. This helps a lot. Thank you! 77 feels like 16 again!!
That is so amazing to hear my friend, I love to hear that I can be a part of it as well!

When I play G it sounds really bad and I’m literally trying my hardest but I don’t know how to fix it
I just got my ukelele for my birthday yesterday, and I was having a very hard time with the G chord. This helped me so much! Thank you!
Sophia Woods sameeee! august 16th?
Me too but it was Nov 27 lolol
You explained it very well. No longer baffled and frustrated. Appreciate your help.
for the people looking for songs without the G try just the way you are from Bruno Mars.it needs 3 chords C, Am and F so super easy

Nice! Happy to hear that.
I tilted my fingers like you said, but it still sounds like my strings are muted! Help!
Are you pressing all the way down in the right spots? That was a huge problem for me that I recently figured out, but maybe not for you
Janelle Selenka wdym?
My dad keeps saying to watch how to play the guitar so this helps me so much

Hi Zoey! That is great to hear, congratulations on playing your favorite song, it is an amazing feeling.
@@TenThumbsProductions I’ll definitely recommend you to all my friends.. I’ve already got 3 friends hooked up on this channel 🤣🤣
I was also trying to figure out how to play riptide. This helped!
Im still having a hard time I put my fingers in the right spot but when I strum, it sounds terrible and yes my ukulele is tuned
Paris Stoll what happens if you play the chord one string at a time? That will help you find where the mistake is happening.
Yeah maybe you aren’t pressing hard enough
I used to be like that but I found that you have to press harder on the string and the fret
Paris Jade same here
Avery I am pressing really really really hard and they just sound muted :(
the last three strings still sound bad for me helP (saprano uk)
Graci Hetzer maybe you are not pressing enough? That happened to me
me too
Rusne Rad thank you that was my problem and I’ve been trying and trying to do it for so long
Thank you so much! I have been struggling with G, and have failed with lots of other videos, yours is the only to work on me. 😃
I'm from India. Thank you so much sir 😊
I was learning a song called Nothing Gets Better Than This from Rags and this really helped me get playing the G chord down. thanks for the tutorial!
Thank you so muchh!!! Ily this help so much!!.
Great tutorial. I got a ukulele for the first time and this really helped
Actually, I use my M finger on chord C so, transitioning to G made my timings a lot easier and faster.
other ppl teach that using m finger for C is the worst thing u can do bc it makes songs so hard to play later
Lord Jesus you’re the best!!! Thank you!
That is high praise, I will humbly accept and let you know that I think YOU are the best. Happy strumming friend.
thank you thats an esey way to learn the. G chord
thanks you you are really good at explain the g chord, hopefully ill get there with this you a re amazing !
Thank you very much. “Re-amazing” are you from Argentina? All my Argentina friends use “re” instead of very all the time.

If it only sounds like one string is playing, try pressing really hard the the strings. It worked for me and now the sound is beautiful!
I have uklale class and it is easy for me I no a lot of chords
I know where to put my fingers it’s just that when I play the chord it sounds bad. I’ve been playing the uke for 3 years and I just can’t get it :(
G and G7 sound alike kinda, do you have to learn them both?
Try pressing harder
Zeina Amr but then after no sounds come so that wouldn’t work :C
sarah x Neither can I! I've been playing for 2 years now! :(

So helpful, thanks!
Why does when I do g chord, the string that I hold, wont sound
Try pressing harder
My one of most anyoing mistakes that i do is mostly when im trying to do g chord and my finger blocks the other string (btw im new )
That’s very normal, don’t be it hard on yourself it will smooth out shortly.
Great
Now all I need is a ulelele
3 hours after getting my Uke I found my first issue! The G. Will get it down but tomorrow!
Thank you so much! I was struggling so much! I'm still struggling a bit obviously 🤣 but this helped so much!
Got my uke last Christmas, but just realized I've been switching to itwrong, making my life more difficult.
Can I twist the position of the index finger and middle finger? that's much easier for me
Thank you this really did help I couldn’t get it so fast
You are so amazing! Thank you Thank you!
Cheers friend! Love is the coal that makes this train roll, thanks for your comment.
