In this ukulele lesson you will learn to read easy tab notation. Even if you can not read sheet music you can read ukulele chords and melodies with this type of tabs. Let's use it. However, the notation sheet music does not tell you how to play the note on his instrument, in this case, the ukulele. You have to learn this for yourself.

Tablature notation, on the other hand, tells how to place your fingers to play a tune or something else. Scores Ukulele show which frets to press down the strings and play. As soon as you understand ukulele tabs with numbers telling you which fret and string to play.

I assume you have set your ukulele in C. This means that you first string, which is the bottom string when you play, is tuned to an A, the second string is an E, the third string of C and the fourth string a G.

In the notation of ukulele tab you will use all frets are to press down on your ukulele shown by two numbers. The first number tells you which fret to press down, the second number which string to play. Here's an example:

12 01

The couple's first number tells you to press down the first box in the second string. The second pair means you play the first string without pressing down a fret. This is called to play an open string.

It is time to take a closer look at the song we use to learn notation the tongue. I will write letters, one line at a time, and the strains of ukulele can be used in the key of C-major:

The song begins in footnote 02, which is the note E if you want to sing the song. Here are the chords I have written in parentheses before that the syllable in which they will play them:

C: 04 03 02 31

DM: 24 23 12 01

G7: 04 23 12 21

Here are the following online:

(F) only as the (Dm) I (G7) used to (C)

The F-major chord can be played as follows:

F: 24 03 12 01

When the (C) treetops (C7) and brightness (F) children (Fm) listen

The uke chords C7 and F-minor are played like this:

C7: 04 03 02 11

FM: 14 03 12 31

The chord Fm is a bit difficult to play. Use your left index finger to the string four, your middle finger to two-chain and little of the first string.

Here comes the last line of verse one:

A (C) hear (Am) bells on (snow FM) (G7)

The second verse begins with the same melody and the same chords:

(F) with all the (Dm) Christmas (G7) card I (C) write

Now comes a different melody and new ukulele chords:

May your (C) days if (C7) merry and (F) bright (Fm)

And (C) all (C # dim) your (Dm) Christma (G7) ses be (C) white

Dim C # can be play:

Dim C #: 04 13 02 11

I suggest you learn the song by memorizing one line at a time. The best way to learn to play the chords practice of two-stringed ukulele is contiguous to both. Practice changing between chords smoothly by strumming once on every chord, repeating the procedure until little by little can play the chords without looking. Then, move to the music coming!
