@willw18 – That was awesome Will! Timing sounds spot on! I just sent it to Stephen to check out. I think he’ll love it 🙂
@misterbones – That was really cool Michael! Loved it!
@jbmills07 – It sounds amazing Justin! Congrats!! I will be praying for Regina ❤️
@ukefinlandgirl – I love the ambient backing track. Sounding great so far!
@mysticrick – Those are great solos to learn!Welcome Jessica! Glad to have you here with us 🙂
You can find all of our baritone song lessons here. And baritone mini lessons here.
You can manually access those link by clicking “Ukulele Songs” or “Mini Lessons” in the main menu, then selecting “Baritone” in the filter on the right hand side of the site. If you need a visual guide on how to do this, please watch the second video on this page and jump to 10:42 to learn how to sort lessons by tuning, genre, and difficulty.
There are 14 baritone lessons up right now. At the moment, all we’re planning to do with baritone is stand-alone lessons on songs. If you’re looking for courses or general playing lessons, I’d recommend using a high or low g ukulele as we have hundreds of lessons for those tunings.
Also, did you know that you can play any low G arrangement on baritone? The only difference is that you’ll be playing in a different key.
You can use the same sorting method detailed above to find all of our low G content.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
@leihali – My pleasure!
@The_Bumble_Bard – Sounding great so far Rachael!Thanks for the 2nd video, Kay! Here’s a video to help you. Let me know if you have any ?s. And here is the article I mentioned.
One last thing I’d suggest working on is lightening your right hand attack when fingerpicking. This is a concept I demo-d and explained in this video a few years back for another member who was learning this song. You can ignore the comments on the left hand in that video. Make sure you have no pressure in your right hand, as in, it’s not tense. Being relaxed is key 🙂
@leihali – Kay, can you share a video that shows your left hand?
@mysticrick – Try to learn as many licks/solos as possible. Most improv is a reconfiguration of what you already know how to play. This can be seen in the most famous lick meme compilation:Sounds like the intonation is off. Since you just bought it, I’d contact the shop you purchased it from.
@abster – That was awesome Abster! Way to go 🙂
Hi Rick, great questions! Let’s knock em out 🙂
1) Exactly! You’ll want to get to the point where you know without thinking what the extensions are.
2) All of the forms are based out of the C major scale. You are correct for the first diagram. For the second diagram, the root is shown as the hollow circle (C). You can start and stop on those hollow notes (C) which will help your ear hear the C major scale better. But you should be aware of the surrounding notes in each position that extend beyond the root.
BTW – I’d recommend calling it as 1-7 without worrying about extensions. For ex:
@dianna – Michael gave some great choices. I’d also recommend checking out “St. Louis Blues” and the theme from “New York, New York”. Both lessons incorporate the techniques taught in that course.
