i used to live across the road (and a park) from john butler… and i have a mitchell mu-100 (close).
AND i have tried tuning a soprano with a low g, my solution is to take the c string off another soprano and use that.

Walt: Look at the chord names in the book and play the chord shapes as you’ve learnt them.

Some of the chord progressions might not fit so well. So and alternative is to use the chord shapes from the book (so the song will be two frets lower).

I bought a book to day with a bunch of good songs. I got home and looked at it, and it is writen with ADF#B tuning. Big problem as I am just learning and using GCEA tuning.

My question is how can I tranpose this so I can use it?

Jeff: It shouldn’t be a problem if the strings are in tune. Either the intonation is off or it might be that you’re pressing down too hard on the strings.

Why is it that when a soprano or concert uke is newly tuned it still tends to sound slightly out of tune when playing a chord?

My uke is in c tuning with a low g. I want to change it to a b tuning but I don’t know what to do with my low g string. Help?

How can I tell what type of ukulele I have? It was a gift and I don’t know if it is a soprano, concerte or what. Thanks
