Thanks mate. My first time posting anything on KZread. I'm normally an electric player, but my wife surprised me with a guitarlele. My cousin recorded me chilling out whilst camping during the Christmas holidays and we thought we would just post it to see what response it got. Thanks for your feedback!

@@KentSain A guitalele is tuned 5 half notes higher then a guitar, so when you want to know how to play for example: G7, go five half steps down (Gb, F, E, Eb, D) you land on D. So just Type in “ D7 chord Guitar” and play it that way on guitalele it will be a G7. For example: A on guitalele is played like E on guitar, C like G, B like F#, G like D, F like C, E like B, D like A and C like G. Also there is a Guitalele Chord chard you can find free on Google with over 100 of the most important chords for guitalele. Hope I could help ;)

@@KentSain Hi mate. Yes, the exact same chord patterns and structures as you use on a guitar, you can use on a guitarlele, in other words, play it exactly the same as you would play a guitar. The only difference is that the guitarlele is tuned to the key of A rather than E, so reiterating what soykage3757 has said, it will sound fine if you're playing by yourself, but if you're playing with a guitarist, or a recording, you'll need to transpose down five semitones.

Your playing reminds me of Eric Clapton's live version of "Before You Accuse Me". Stellar chops, mate!

Thanks bro. I am actually a huge Clapton fan ever since i first heard Sunshine of You Love back when i was 14yo. I've got the Eric Clapton Signature Strat (my very first Strat that i saved up every dollar for, working all Christmas holidays when i was 20!), the model with the Gold Fender Lace Sensors before Fender changed them to the noiseless pickups. Thank you for the compliment, that actually means a lot to me - my playing being referred to in the same sentence as Eric Clapton! Cheers mate.

That is fantastic improvisation

Thanks Denise, i do love the guitar. I'm mainly an electric guitar player. I've only got one guitarlelle, but I've been collecting electric and acoustic guitars for about 30yrs now. Love playing 😉.

Hi - this was recorded a while ago now but I just stumbled on it searching for 'blues guitarlele'. Very nice playing and I'd like to learn it but first I need to figure out your tuning. As far as I can tell you've tuned the A string to a G# and then tuned the rest to a (relative) 'standard' guitar tuning - is that correct? If so, any particular reason you did that? Thanks

Maybe high tension carbon would be better for that setup

To make scales would it be the same way as for a guitar? Or change way?

Is it tuned like a Guitar?

@sdkj6731

3 жыл бұрын

No, not insofar as key. Guitaleles are generally tuned to A (i think that's right - guitalele enthusiasts please correct me if I'm wrong, guitalele is not my instrument of choice). But each string's pitch is the same as a standard guitar tuning, i.e. their relative pitches to each other are the same as on a guitar, but as said, tuned to A. I may not be tuned to A in the recording, i can't remember if I'd just tuned it to whatever key on the go. Hope i didn't confuse the situation further.
