Aug 23, 2024 · An important piece to working within the ukulele fretboard is to understand how to identify different frets. Using the fretboard, we can create different notes and sounds by pressing on the strings within the different frets. Each fret is given a number for identification. The first fret will always be the fret at the very top of the fretboard ...
Feb 8, 2024 · Next, work on studying all the natural notes up to the 5th fret. That step just adds all the notes on the 5th fret and two on the 4th fret, G and C strings to what we already have from the previous step. Work your way up the fretboard (by frets or by string if you like) and learn the rest of the natural notes. It’s all just a big C scale.

Let take a close look at the notes on a ukulele fretboard! The chart above shows only natural notes (no sharps and flats) laid out on the ukulele fretboard. These are the notes you should learn first! As you can also see the chart only goes to the 12th fret. It is commonly marked with 2 dots right on the fretboard, and sometimes also on the side of...
It is logical to start learning the ukulele fretboard with memorizing the notes on the open strings, in other words, names of the strings. It will come handy when you try to tune your uke! It doesn’t really matter in which direction you choose to remember them, from bottom up: A – E – C – G or from top to bottom: G – C – E – A You can simply rememb...
Let me quickly quiz you before we move on. Which one of the strings on your uke is called C? If you answered “3”, you are correct! BTW, strings on ukulele (and guitar) are typically counted from bottom up. Now we will learn to play a C major scale (and learn all natural notes) on the 3rd string. Don’t worry, we will get to the other 3 strings quick...
You can play C major scale on other strings too. Here is what it looks like on the 1st (A) string: C major on the 1st strings start at the 3rd fret, but the pattern of the whole and half steps stays the same (it always does!). Again, practice playing up and down one string, and run the drills you are familiar with to memorize all these notes on the...
It gets a bit repetitive from this point on. Here is what C major scale looks like on the 2nd string of your uke: It might seem boring to repeat the same process again and again on each string, but please bear with me. Here is where it gets a bit more interesting… By now you should know all the natural notes on the first 3 strings. That means you c...
Finally, the notes on the 4th string: You know the drill. Spend some time becoming familiar with how notes are positioned on the fretboard. Use those markers as a reference! By now you should know all the notes on the ukulele fretboard! See it was pretty easy, wasn’t it?
Keep recalling the names of the notes on every string consistently. Do it every day in the beginning, and then perhaps every other day, or once a week later on. Keep practicing playing C major scale on all 4 strings all across the neck. Play it on a single string, as well as discover more and more finger patterns to play it across the strings. It s...
Nov 15, 2023 · When you look at ukulele sheet music (which may or may not have tablature associated with it), the ukulele fretboard notes correspond to the notes on the G clef. Looking at the sheet music, you’ll notice that it’s composed of 5 lines called a staff, with the associated symbol for a G clef. Each of those lines and spaces in the staff ...
Because working with movable chords depends on your knowledge of the fretboard. Visualize the G String. Count up each fret, note by note. Flats are used more often than sharps, but it's good to know the 'musical alphabet' both ways: G - Ab - A - Bb - B - C - Db - D - Eb - E - F - Gb. Notice the only two flats that don't exist in the musical ...
The fretboard is a dark piece of wood that rests atop the neck and beneath the strings. This is where the notes of the ukulele are played. It is divided into vertical rectangles by pieces of metal called frets. The player presses the string down against the fretboard and between the frets to play a note. If you hold several down, or leave ...
