Thanks mate. My first time posting anything on TH-cam. I'm normally an electric player, but my wife surprised me with a guitarlele. My cousin recorded me chilling out whilst camping during the Christmas holidays and we thought we would just post it to see what response it got. Thanks for your feedback!
Brother i have a question . Can the chords of guitar use into this guitalele? Because its hard to find video tutorials about this guitalele and i want to learn guitar if possible can i learn guitar through this?
@@KentSain A guitalele is tuned 5 half notes higher then a guitar, so when you want to know how to play for example: G7, go five half steps down (Gb, F, E, Eb, D) you land on D. So just Type in “ D7 chord Guitar” and play it that way on guitalele it will be a G7. For example: A on guitalele is played like E on guitar, C like G, B like F#, G like D, F like C, E like B, D like A and C like G. Also there is a Guitalele Chord chard you can find free on Google with over 100 of the most important chords for guitalele. Hope I could help ;)
@@KentSain Hi mate. Yes, the exact same chord patterns and structures as you use on a guitar, you can use on a guitarlele, in other words, play it exactly the same as you would play a guitar. The only difference is that the guitarlele is tuned to the key of A rather than E, so reiterating what soykage3757 has said, it will sound fine if you're playing by yourself, but if you're playing with a guitarist, or a recording, you'll need to transpose down five semitones.
Thanks bro. I am actually a huge Clapton fan ever since i first heard Sunshine of You Love back when i was 14yo. I've got the Eric Clapton Signature Strat (my very first Strat that i saved up every dollar for, working all Christmas holidays when i was 20!), the model with the Gold Fender Lace Sensors before Fender changed them to the noiseless pickups. Thank you for the compliment, that actually means a lot to me - my playing being referred to in the same sentence as Eric Clapton! Cheers mate.
Thank you for your comment. I find it so relaxing. Sometimes i fall asleep playing, guitar or guitarlele in my hands - my wife finds it really funny when that happens! Cheers.
Thanks Denise, i do love the guitar. I'm mainly an electric guitar player. I've only got one guitarlelle, but I've been collecting electric and acoustic guitars for about 30yrs now. Love playing 😉.
Thanks Divan, really appreciate the support, but i wouldn't go that far! There are a lot better players out there than me - but i do appreciate the kindness and your compliment. Very encouraging, thank you.
Hi - this was recorded a while ago now but I just stumbled on it searching for 'blues guitarlele'. Very nice playing and I'd like to learn it but first I need to figure out your tuning. As far as I can tell you've tuned the A string to a G# and then tuned the rest to a (relative) 'standard' guitar tuning - is that correct? If so, any particular reason you did that? Thanks
Hi there. I'm playing a Kala, model: KA-GL. It's really nice to play, and has a pretty nice finish. Not the top of the line, but a good little thing. Hope you can find one.

Thanks mate. They were the factory strings i was using for the recording. I don't play it often, i think i just have a set of cheap standard nylon classicals on it right now. I have used Elixirs in the past.
Hi mate. I always use Elixir strings on my guitars, both acoustic and electric. So id recommend Elixir classical nylons. Those strings i have on in the video were just the factory strings though. I have since put Elixirs on - they're great because i have acidic fingers and they don't corrode.
No, not insofar as key. Guitaleles are generally tuned to A (i think that's right - guitalele enthusiasts please correct me if I'm wrong, guitalele is not my instrument of choice). But each string's pitch is the same as a standard guitar tuning, i.e. their relative pitches to each other are the same as on a guitar, but as said, tuned to A. I may not be tuned to A in the recording, i can't remember if I'd just tuned it to whatever key on the go. Hope i didn't confuse the situation further.
Hi there. I'm playing a Kala, model: KA-GL. It's really nice to play, and has a pretty nice finish. Not the top of the line, but a good little thing. Picked it up in small ukulele store in a place called Burley Heads in Queensland, Australia. Cost about $350AUD about 7yrs ago.
No sorry, it was just an improvisation, I haven't tabulated it. My influence for this would be Stevie Ray Vaughan's Pride and Joy. You'll be able to find a tab for it online.

Your playing reminds me of Eric Clapton's live version of "Before You Accuse Me". Stellar chops, mate!

Very Nice,Friend!😉👏👏👏👏
Haha awesome dude. Thanks for the support. Do you have any videos of your playing?
Nice. Is that bottom A string tuned down, it seems slack, mine is tighter
I read it as "best guitaris improvisin on ukulele"
And it is.. that'll probably be a better title lol
Thanks Divan, really appreciate the support, but i wouldn't go that far! There are a lot better players out there than me - but i do appreciate the kindness and your compliment. Very encouraging, thank you.
just to let you know we still are listening.
Thank you friend. Hope it brings you joy.
Maybe high tension carbon would be better for that setup

To make scales would it be the same way as for a guitar? Or change way?
No difference mate. You play it exactly the same way you would play a standard guitar 😉
If only my hands would work on that!!
Practice mate! Practice! 😉
@@sdkj6731 no been playing for years along with working with my hands and they are to beat up to play like that. They don't function right! Lol
@@brianjones8106 haha. Oh i see! I hear you Brian! I'm sure my left fingers are riddled with arthritis!

Great - how have you tuned this A or E?
I can't remember what i tuned it to, i might have just tuned it to whatever on the fly. It would be closer to A than E. 😉

it is tuned if a guitar had a capo on the 5th string
@@nahumridoutt8406 you mean fifth fret
