I think its a hangover from guitar where that string plays the bottom notes as they are the lowest. Doesn't make quite as much sense on a ukulele though. Its my best shot.
Place the uke in front of you, head stock to your left, front of the uke is up. The G string is now on the bottom, same as uke tabulature. While it takes a bit to get used to, it becomes second nature. Highly recommend Lil Rev's beginner books. He goes over how to play tabs and shows the notes too.
when u play the uku and u look at it to place your fingers, the closest to you becomes the bottom bc u are looking at it upside down, cant explain but thats how it is
When you clicked this video to learn tabs but instead learned the happy birthday song and remembered its your siblings birthday so you play it on her birthday 👌
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the rest of the world! This tutorial was very straightforward and easy to understand. I bought a ukulele a week and a half ago and have been practicing chords, but thanks to you I can now practice tabs!
Thank you so much! I've been trying to find a way to understand tabs and whatnot for certain songs, especially for the picking, but as I'm a beginner ukulele player, I had no idea what was going on, lol, but then I found this video and it helped me so much! ^_^
Oh my gosh...thank you so much. This makes so much sense, I had an idea of what it meant but this just made it 10 times more clear. Thank you kind sir.
definitely gonna take a while for this to become second nature to me, but thank you for making such a simple and easy to follow video! good to know it actually wasn’t as scary as i imagined when i first saw tabs

I just find this looking for easy songs to play with my ukulele (I just got one)... Today is my birthday, so thank you so much!! You don't know how happy you just make me, make my day.. Thnks!
I have an exam coming up for school and I found this video online. I could not have asked for a better teacher. Thanks so much and I am ready to pass this exam. :)
He says the fourth line down represents the fourth string on the ukulele but if you watch his hand movements he plucks on the second string ( C string)
There's this song that I've heard finger picked on the ukulele called River Flows in You. I've heard somebody make some very beautiful lyrics for the Twilight movie that goes with this song and it's absolutely beautiful and I so want to learn how to play the song on my ukulele. But I've only been playing the ukulele for a few months and I haven't been able to find any good tutorials that really breaks down the song and shows me one pattern at a time because it's one thing to just read the tabs but it's another when you don't know the exact Rhythm to the song and you need someone that already knows it well to teach you. I hope that maybe in the future you can give us a ukulele tutorial for River Flows In You. I know that I would greatly appreciate it. I truly do enjoy your ukulele tutorials. I've learned a lot in the past six months I've been playing. And I keep getting better and better thanks to all of you ukulele teachers out there.
Thank you very much. I've been trying to guess how to use them for about 2 hours yesterday but you've helped me to learn how they work in like 4 minutes. Again big Thanks !
This is so helpful i swear i didn’t get it from any teacher but when I watched this video i think i can play ukulele so much easier you are always help my when i want to play a song thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've been playing the uke for six months now und you've been a big help for me! Thank you for that! At the moment I struggle playing hawaiian songs but I really wanna learn how to play them because it sounds so beautiful. I'd really appreciate if you could make a video about this topic or show how to play a Hawaiian song. Thank you for your great videos! Greetings from Germany! :)
Ive been obsessed with the song Chivalry is dead by Trevor Wesley and there are no tutorials anywhere only guitar ones. It would be so amazing if you could make a tutorial for Chivalry is dead! THANK YOU!!:)
I just need to say I got a ukelele for my bday and you just made feel useful, I have a problemwith struming up maybe down too do you have a vid on that.
this was extremely helpful. Couldn't have asked for a better teacher!

The Ukulele Teacher no thank you I've been trying to figure out tab for a year
Am I the only one who doesn't get why the string closest to you is the bottom?? It confuses me so much
I know right? Makes no sense at all.
I think its a hangover from guitar where that string plays the bottom notes as they are the lowest. Doesn't make quite as much sense on a ukulele though. Its my best shot.
+Viołet Xoxo if that's true then you need a new language for the uke as the strings don't go from the lowest note to the highest one.

I must be incredibly stupid,, I didn't even realize it was happy birthday until someone in the comments pointed it out.
I need to just stop lmao
lavendeer•tea I thought it was the song they play on weddings!!
Same!
I just played what was on the thumbnail
I thought it was a Christmas song
*internal screaming* same😂
This is the most useful thing i have ever watched in my life
its 2:32 am, I don't even have a ukulele, and I seriously thought the first song was twinkle twinkle little star I think I need sleep
same except i have a uke
Your Local Prince twinkle twinkle little star has the same rhythm
@@cordidordi1765 no it doesn't
Your Local Prince I have 2
No, the first son was happy birthday
Super helpful for a beginner like me ! Just got a ukulele today and tried playing the happy birthday song !

Thank you so much 🤗, finally I get this strange lines, and it's no more hieroglyphs for me 😂
Very good tutorial! You're so helpful! Now I could easily play plucking on ukulele by just reading tabs! ❤
ok so let me get this straight:
top line = a string
second line down = e string
third line down = c string
bottom line = g string
abby starks yes
