• Theory question: translating n Theory question: translating notes into chords

  • From: trouty
  • Description:

    How do you replace notes with chords and have them  sound right? Sometimes in putting together a song, I can get a musical phrase that's in my head down in terms of finding the notes on the fretboard, but when I try to replace those notes with chords (replacing an F note with an F major chord, etc.) it sounds far different, and often quite horrible. Anyone have any basic tips/rules on how to do this? Thanks.

• Spoon? Spoon?

  • Description:

    Oh yes, a fine band. I have not learned any of their songs, but I have reecently noticed that CHORDIE has a few chord charts (and tabs for guitar) on their site. The link I supplied above should take you directly to the Spoon song listing.

    The nice thing about Chordie is the option of selecting the tuning and instrument for the chord progressions. And yes.... they even have Uke Chord diagrams!!

    my pono arrived :)

    and as promised it was the pono PT upgraded from PTO by mistake :)

    it sounds soooo much nicer than my £10 toy thing lol, i should have posted sooner but i have benn playing none stop

    im still not vey good but my god is it fun and relaxing. i can feel myself get better, each time i pick the uke up is more comfortable than the last, more familiar. im putting some words to very simple chord changes also, kinda getting the feel for songs and just making stuff up and playing about. i learn a hell of a lot better by playing about and just seeing what works, i guess that fits in well with the current discussions on 'the inner game of music' in the forum.

    maybe i should post a video, nobody has posted any real beginners videos yet,

• The Official Inner Game of Mus The Official Inner Game of Music Discussion Thread

  • Description:

    (damn, where'd I leave my Oprah book club list of discussion questions?)

    So, I just finished the book The Inner Game of Music this morning. I put aside my distrust for anything that came out of the eighties and gave this book a shot. As early as page 53, I had high hopes when the author mentioned my family's style of martial art- aikido. (most of our extended family still asks how we are all doing with our taekwondo- no one knows what aikido is!)

    Unfortunately, by the time I was

    Glad you like it, Rob. Not too sure myself. It would take a hell of a lot of practice to play it like that. I think it would need quite a bit of simplifying.

• Help with No surprises by Radi Help with No surprises by Radiohead

  • From: West
  • Description:

    After getting the taste for Radiohead on the uke from Woodshed's Street Spirit and seeing Mike's low G version, I've tried tabbing a version of No surprises in standard tuning. I think I've got the main parts, except for the bit at the end of the verse - the C chord part (...bruises that won't heal). Any help/suggestions much appreciated as it might be a little off. Be gentle though, as it's my first attempt at tabbing anything out ;-)

  • From: mukeillin
  • Description:

    "Beirut"? Nope, never heard of them nor visited the locale. "Alaska in Winter" is how I spent my first 22 years of life, but I have yet to listen to the band. I will have to take up the quest to hear them both out.

    My discovery of love with the uke is painstakingly and quite accurately described in the autobiographical song: "The Uke Song" (copyright 2006 Mark Allen Johnson - (yours truly)). I will attach a low res recording of it now. There is a recent video of it

• Chords Changes Chords Changes

  • From: jadppe
  • Description:

    Hello fellow ukesters, I'm still in the early learning stages and having trouble with some chord changes. At first any chord change would take me a few seconds but now most chord changes are fast and I can do without looking but I have the hardest time changing to a chord that involves a bar like D7 or B, etc. I feel like I have to support that end of the uke while I'm changing to that chord. Am I holding the uke incorrectly with my right hand maybe? Any suggestions out there?

    Thanx, J

    Thanx man. I'm just starting out and it sounded good to me but I'll try the other way and see how it sounds.

    Seems like I'm slowly getting the ear for the way things should sound.

    Thanx again. Joshua

    Yeah...I'm not down with those chords. It's originally in A but I'm ok with the transposition toC and I'm ok with leaving some of the passing chords out but some of those chords remaining aren't quite right. In the 3rd line "all these places..." the Am should be an Em. The line after that "with lovers..." the Dm should be a Bflat The line after that "some are dead..." Should be Em and D. And finally the line after "but in my life..." the Dm sho

    OK, figured it out. I tried to post it in "Photos" but looks like crap. So I used Google photos and uploaded to them.

    Again, this is "In My Life" by The Beatles with easier altho maybe not as accurate as above posted chords.

• Guitar and uke chords Guitar and uke chords

  • From: woodshed
  • Description:

    Guitar chords and uke chords are the same. If you see a G chord in a guitar chord sheet, you play a G on the ukulele.

    They are different shapes though - but that needn't concern you.

    Just thought I'd tryout the blog feature. Everything so far seems to be working smooth.

    Lately I've been playing a lot of Beatles tunes with my uke. I have to say I love their chord use. I know they have a large amount of fans still, and I'm coming out and saying that I too am a Beatles fan. Taken me a long while, but I have arrived. What album do I love the most so far, Rubber Soul.
