A "jumping flea" sounds like something to be avoided, right? Not if you are from Hawaii and love music. You see the "jumping flea" is a nickname for the musical instrument, the ukulele. The ukulele is a four-stringed, guitar-shaped musical instrument with a long history, not only in Hawaii.

Take the time to tune up properly. Because it's short, it can be quite hard to get the Ukulele for sale in uk in tune. But it has to be done. If your ukulele is out of tune, you WILL sound terrible. There are plenty of tools online to help you to do this. My particular favourite is the AP Tuner.

When you decide which tuning is the best for you, you need to take into account your own style of playing. If you are mostly a strummer, re-entrant C will probably be the best choice for you. If you are more interested in solo playing, low-G might be the one for you.

You might find this difficult at first but as your ring finger get used to it it will actually be easier to find the right notes. You don't even have to look at your fingers to find the right fret if you get accustomed to this way of playing.

The names of the chords we will play are dependent upon the tuning of the uke. In this Ukulele lesson we will use the common tuning in C. This means that the first string of the ukukule is tuned to A. The first string of your uke is the bottom string when you play.

Jake plays his music with his whole body mind and spirit and if you and your partner wrote your Ukulele for sale vows like that and then continued to read them with interest and expectation reactivating the passion and power you put into every word with your dream it will stand up and dance on it's own some day without even trying.

You can use your first finger for all the notes but a more professional approach is to play the notes on the first fret with your first finger, the notes on the second fret with your long finger and the notes on your third fret with your ring finger.

Now you can play a Christmas melody on your ukulele. The ukulele tab notation I have used is Uke good for finding the notes but I recommend you to learn the melody by heart so you can play it anywhere without the need to read on a piece of paper you will not find anyway!
