Ukulele - Perfect for the Beginners
2
The ukulele is generally seen as an instrument
for kids to learn on before they graduate to
guitar. However, the truth is quite different. I
played the guitar for over ten years when I first
picked up a ukulele - more out of curiosity than
anything. Since then, not only have I become a
complete ukulele addict, it has also made me a
better ukulele player. I'm absolutely convinced
that any guitarist would improve their playing by
learning to play the ukulele. How Ukulele is
perfect for beginners.

How to Improved Chord Knowledge Ukulele has only
four strings, so there's a tendency amongst
ukulele players to make sure that everyone
counts. Most guitarists are quite happy with
three-note major and minor chords. Since I
started playing the ukulele my knowledge of how
chords are formed and how they can be manipulated
to create new and interesting sounds. Rhythms
are more interesting So often guitar chord
parts are just strumming up and down in a 1, 2,
3, 4 pattern. Ukuleles playing, on the other
hand, has more emphasis on techniques such as on
guitars, triplets and syncope rhythms. I don't
think I've ever heard a guitar player discussing
a picking pattern. But ukulele players are
forever comparing different finger combinations,
rolls, split strokes and fan strokes.

Play Ukulele like Guitarists What connects Jimi
Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend, Brian May,
George Harrison and Dick Dale? As well as being
the greatest guitar players who ever lived, they
are or were all ukulele players. Some of their
ukulele playing made it onto record. Pete
Townshend on Blue, Red and Grey, Brian May on
Good Company and George Harrison on The Devil and
the Deep Blue Sea. If those guys all found the
ukulele helpful, then I doubt there's any
guitarist who is too good for it.

You lightened your creativity After making five
albums with Pearl Jam, Eddie Vader was hit by
writer's block. The guitar didn't inspire him
anymore. So he picked up a ukulele and wrote Soon
Forget. Writing this song kick his song writing
back into gear and the song went on to appear on
Binaural. Just a slight change in instrument can
give your ideas you might never have had
otherwise and get you excited about playing
again. Ukuleles for Sale have a wide range of
