Do one with ukulele chords!

This is not a good way to learn for beginners. No information besides here is some chords play them.
hardytardigrade
Ah yes, I'll just hold these strings down... while I use the... back of my finger to kill the other... string... hhrgh.... wait a second
lizardinajar
Lol so true ;) keep practicing!

Instructions unclear, bought all the guitars and learned all the chords, start a band in 5 minutes.

Thanks Man! I love my guitars. Good stuff you posted though, if someone can play all these, they are well on their way.

This is worthy. Nice work OP.

OP didn't really do anything, though.
Shialabeefjerky
Does any OP on imgur really do anything
SpaceballsTheComment
They do their best.

Does no one else fret the low G when playing C?
MeAndMyADD
Adding that low 5th makes a rich sound :) fuck yeah I do.
I save adding the 5 for emphasis. Slide up 2 frets and you get D/A, sweet sounding
Pretty sure that's the beginning of Lola by The Kinks.
That's interesting. I tend to resort to notes that are higher than the root note for emphasis. That sweet... sweet 4th. Mmmmmmm
IlikePrettyDarkHairedWomenAndBreakfastFood
this is why a lot of guitar players are bad musicians. Do not learn the chord shapes without understanding how the notes works together 1/2
heril
Also, learning to read actual music and play from that makes you much more awesome.
PleinPlein
Also don't be afraid to chop up chords into smaller fragmented bits.
knowing where they are on the neck and the function of each intervals. And explore all the neck, don't stick to open chords positions 2/2

As a series of euphemisms, your advice is also quite applicable to sexy times.
WillisTheRancor
Much like anything else, actually knowing the theory something is better than basic memorization.

Tried it... Did no work with my. Drum set. I'll try harder.

The way you punctuated this had me reading it like Shatner. +1
HeyGuysAmIRelevantYet
You idiot, this won't work on drums! Go get your xylophone and try again
Will it work with bagpipe ? I could give it a try.
Well yeah, but idk how you hope to read the screen without crashing the unicycle
LocustStar
You should also be learning how chords work and how to build them up from intervals.
BourbonBuck
You mean there is more than the 3 chord rock that is on radio constantly?!? D:
gorgosaurusrex
I've been playing for 10 years now... I can shred and sweep, but can't build chords. LEARN INTERVALS, DON'T WIND UP LIKE ME!
RoboUnicornFishBalls
You got a decent link or Google term for a newbie please?
it makes you a better musician, not just guitarist. Try building chords on a piano first if you can, it's a much easier learning tool. 2/2
Thank you
transientarchitect
Thanks. I've been practicing for a year or so but I've never heard of this system. Will try it out.

Nice!
http://www.musictheory.net/exercises is very useful, as are the lessons on there. Music theory applies to every instrument, understanding1/2

Oh this again. Protip: learn to Barre.
Barre chords are so painful. I'm convinced that I'll never master them. But it has helped to keep my wrist straight in line with my finger.

YOU LEARN TO BARRE!

You mean laying your finger across the Fret board?
ImAlreadyNakedUnderTheseClothes
Learning barre was painful! Two decades later I still wake up in the middle of the night to my screams and ghost pain in my fingers.
boltonnotlob
It helps to get your instrument set up by any qualified tech. If your instrument is properly set up it shouldn't hurt to play at all
It was set up by a guitar builder.. It's just that my hands hadn't seen physical labour before :)
Any tips on how to? Where to learn?
lindydanny
Keep trying. It won't be instant. You will feel pain.
Dwaynethejockronson
Practice practice practice. Hotel california is good practice
There's a guy on youtube named Ben Eller who has the best barre tutorial I've seen. part of a series called "this is why you suck at guitar"

Proer tip: Learn both. Also study your damn theory and apply it to learn new voicings for chords and which chords belong in which keys.
elninjapenguin
This is the real pro tip. I saw an add once saying learn guitar without wasting time on scales and chords... WTF?
One of my best friends has played for 17 years but the only theory he knows is pentatonic scales. He's a great rock guitarist and 1/2
entertainer but he's afraid that he won't get the theory. I should really give him a few private lessons of applied musical theory 2/2
I find this part confusing and difficult :(
BeesByBenjy
It defo is, but you will start reading the fretboard of your guitar a loooot easier.
I've found that most people who struggle with theory are either afraid that they won't get it, or they have been taught theory at the 1/2
wrong level of depth. They are either people who want to know how stuff works and are just taught how to use it, or are people who 2/3
just want to know how to use something and someone tried to teach them how it works. Which would you say are you? 3/3
