  • @adriannguyen3924
    @adriannguyen3924 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Got a question, does it matter which way it faces you?

    • @NickRivers
      @NickRivers  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The simple answer is no, HOWEVER, if you have the ukulele upside down you want to make sure you tune it the opposite way. Does that make sense? The first string (if holding the ukulele as you were to play it, this is the bottom most string) should be an 'A' in standard tuning and the fourth string should be a G. All the way through from first string to last string should be G,C,E,A. So if you hold the ukulele facing the opposite way it could be easy to invert this. So basically, no, you can face it whichever way as long as you make sure each string is still being tuned to the note it is supposed to be tuned.
      In case that's confusing, just match your string sounds to the string I am playing and then it doesn't matter which way your uke is as long as you are tuning the strings to the right sound!

    How do you tune it? Like make it looser or tighter

    • @NickRivers
      @NickRivers  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Turn the pegs at the top of the ukulele. Make noise on a string, then turn the peg one way and see if it’s lower or higher sounding. (Tightening a string makes it higher pitched, loosening a string makes it lower pitched). Hope this helps!

      it's definitely possible that you have a smaller ukulele which may make the tone sound a bit different, however the notes are still the same :). Once you learn how to tune a uke without a tuner, this video will help with the correct notes! th-cam.com/video/0DQkxMidohI/w-d-xo.html

      It can be really hard and not everyone will be able to tune with their ear right away unfortunately! It can take some practice. in the meantime, if you are having trouble tuning I definitely recommend getting a Snark Clip On Tuner. I have a link in my description for them (if you use my link I get a little bit of the purchase price which helps me continue to make videos).
