Members CosmicArp Posted March 31, 2007 Members Posted March 31, 2007 Hey Jammers Just wondering if anyone knows of a chart or something that lists all the possible chords played on just the 3 or 4 highest strings. Getting into more reggae and funky stuff. I could sit down and figure them out but tell me if you've seen a chart. Thanks!
Members flatfacerincone Posted March 31, 2007 Members Posted March 31, 2007 Lol, have you considered looking at a regular chord chart and just playing the top 3 strings?
Members 1001gear Posted March 31, 2007 Members Posted March 31, 2007 Should be ComicArps. Look for a ukulele chord chart.
Members CosmicArp Posted March 31, 2007 Author Members Posted March 31, 2007 what are the strings on a ukulele tuned to?
Members 1001gear Posted March 31, 2007 Members Posted March 31, 2007 I don't know the traditional pitches but the intervals are the same as on guitar except the bottom string (D string on a guitar) is tuned an octave up. Slightly different voicings but the same chord shapes. EDIT:G C E A according to this,http://nfo.net/usa/uke2.html
Members CBLjazz Posted March 31, 2007 Members Posted March 31, 2007 If you're looking for a more advanced study of chords on the 1st 4 strings, check out Steve Khan's book Chord Khanceptshttp://www.amazon.com/Contemporary-Chord-Khancepts-Jazz-Masters/dp/1576235645/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-6786941-9716617?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1175347861&sr=8-1
Members 2chordwonder Posted March 31, 2007 Members Posted March 31, 2007 Have a look at Rolly browns videos on youtube e.g. if you work through these he does some nice voicings on the top 4 strings tom
Members clenchedfist Posted March 31, 2007 Members Posted March 31, 2007 Play barre chords and skank that {censored} up.
Poparad Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 what are the strings on a ukulele tuned to? Baritone ukes are tuned the same as the first four strings on a guitar. The other three ukes (tenor, concert, and soprano - only difference is body size) are tuned the same but up a perfect 4th (imagine a capo on the 5th fret of a guitar). In addition, the 4th string is up an octave, but since it's tuned to the same note, the chord shapes don't change.
Members okieguitarman Posted April 1, 2007 Members Posted April 1, 2007 Assuming that you already know every note on every fret then use the 1-3-5 rule.A major chord is built from the 1-3-5 notes of a major scale.There are some cool 7th chord forms on the bottom 3 strings.[ E-B-G ] You might try this concept: play all chords from the middle 4 strings as most of the music can be found here on the guitar neck. [ B-G-D-A ]
