Ukulele has three main parts; top, fretboard and the body. In the top section, there are strings rest in the grooves of the nut which then attach themselves in the tuners on the headstock. By tightening or loosening the strings, the sound can be refined or thickened. Ukulele for sale There's a fun song by Never Shout Never called First Dance that prominently features the ukulele. You may have already done an online search for the chords and found sites that showed you how to play the song using the C, F, and G chords. But playing those chords along with the recording didn't sound quite right, did it? However, I recommend that you use your first finger for the notes on the first fret, the middle finger for the notes on the second fret and, you guessed right!, the ring finger for the notes on the third fret. Buying a tuner will mean you can get your Ukulele in tune anywhere. The best type to buy if you play gigs or are a member of a Ukulele club is a clip on tuner. Rather than picking up the sound, they work by picking up the vibrations of the Ukulele. This means they can be used in noisy environments. Now that you have two notes at your disposal you can start to practice composing. Maybe you think that two notes are too little material to compose but it is an excellent exercise to start making the most of two notes. You can vary the rhythms and the number of times you play a note. Play slow, very slow. Imagine you're a snail and the strings are the road and play it as slow as you can. You will get the correct rhythm, you won't make mistakes that later on would be very difficult to address and try to increase the speed gradually over time, even if for now it doesn't sound very good.
