You want to follow only the tab. The chords and notation are written for baritone tuning, so they will be incorrect for low G.
@kpurdy – You can play baritone arrangements on low G without needing to adapt (transpose) anything. The only difference is that you’ll be playing in a different key.
You can also follow along with the lesson if you need help in any section 🙂
That’s a great suggestion, but unfortunately it’s not possible at the moment. They are working on a new version – which should have been out months ago – but supposedly it will have even more features than it currently does 🙂
@hollus – Sorry! I forgot to make it free last night. Please try now 🙂
Jerry, you can just read the tab 🙂

Sections in both of those songs will sound off with a low G. I’d recommend playing one of the other 2 songs. “Moondance” is for low G and “Moon Waltz” sounds great on low G too 🙂
@biancak – I’d say you’ve got it down! Sounds great 🙂
@santai – well done! Technique sounds great 🙂
@june2020 – great job! As you continue practicing, try to keep the tempo consistent throughout the entire piece. And, you can always target the tougher spots by looping bar(s) – like the transition to the melody notes up the neck.But it was really good overall, and your playing was super clean!
@saiyara – excellent playing! Double check the rhythm in bars 23 and 24. Other than that, keep up the great work!
@leslieb – well done, Leslie! As you continue practicing, I’d break the song into 4 bar sections. Focus on timing – keeping it steady. Don’t worry about speed/playing fast. When you can play those four bars with perfect timing, tackle the next four, and then put those eight together. Build the song this way.For the double stop walk down at the start of theme 2 (bar 17), I’d recommend using your ring and index to fret it. That should make it easier to play.
Last tip: Pause your performance at 8 second. Notice how your index finger is curved at the first joint, but your middle isn’t. We always want to keep a nice curve when fretting, so you want to adjust the middle to look like the index.
@qiuyan – you did so well! Amazing job for your first time playing with a backing track 🙂@ukandrea – Bravo! Well played, Andrea! I sent it to Stephen, he’ll love it 🙂
@karenj – Beautifully played, Karen! And those variations were tastefully done. Great job!
@gi_gi_ – Excellent job! I’d like you to work on playing this song at the same speed that you did during the last half of the performance. But, do the entire song at that tempo. Even though you can play the first half much faster and in-time, it’s better to keep a consistent tempo throughout.@lhamilton – Bravo, Linda! This is one of your best performances I’ve seen! Only thing I’d say is, try to relax your right hand b/c it looks a little tense while you’re playing. But again, well done! Keep up the great work 🙂
Yes, it only shows up on lesson pages. Concept Lessons or Free Lessons show a unique sidebar that allows you to search/sort through those lessons.
Check out the second video on this page. It’s a rundown on how to navigate the site 🙂
Also, do you receive our newsletter? We send one email a week, every Friday. That’s the best way to stay up-to-date with new lessons.
It only shows on lesson pages, such as Fur Elise.
The forum has its own sidebar, which is related to forum activity 🙂
Hi @gi_gi_, the second video on this page will give you a rundown of how everything on the site works. But, as far as finding the new Friday lessons, on the right hand of the screen (sidebar), you’ll see “Recent Lessons”, which will list the five newest lessons that I’ve posted. It looks like this:
FYI: It only shows up on the sidebar for lesson pages, not search pages like the pages in the main menu, “Ukulele Songs” or “Courses“.
