Live Stream: Tuesday, November 12th at 5:00pm ET (check your local time zone)
_______________
Hi guys! We are back with Live Lesson EP072! This month’s topic is: “Silent Night” Played on 3 Differently Tuned Ukuleles
In this session, Matt will show you how to bring out the best in “Silent Night” across high G, low G, and baritone tunings. He’ll guide you in adapting the melody and chords to highlight each tuning’s unique tone and character, helping you make the most of each ukulele’s distinct strengths.
This month’s topic should stir up some great questions! So please post all you have below and I hope you join us for the live stream. 🙂

Such a good idear to play the same song on three different uke tunings! And it happens to be an actually good Christmas song, maybe one of twenty that exist. 😉😂
Do you think this is something you could do with most ukulele songs without too many issues, play the same song on all tunings? Wouldn’t the main difference be the low G string, but with a high G and baritone, you could just play the same “placement” of notes, but they’d just be in different keys?
A guitar player I know said you could also play any uke song on guitar and it works, but he may not have known about the reentrant tuning of ukes. Not sure if that’d be an issue.
Thank you so much, sorry for these convoluted questions / comments! 😅
Thanks to everyone who tuned in! We’ll be adding tab graphics to the video, and the replay will be released on December 13th 🙂
