Ukulele Malaya?

made by wood, fretboard maple blacknized , good quality free bag , cash and carry


LOL I like the made by wood part.

Already have enough challenges with a normal 6 string guitar to go into a weird 4 string one. But than again that ukulele looks too cute and affordable too No no... got to stop the itch.

Ukulele is much much easier maa.

Another completely different sets of chords positions and notes to remember, I will get pening

Try ukulele malaya, i got mine for 130 ( concert size ) in D.Perdana.
Overpriced i knw

i second this

chords are similar to guitar la.
if ur already familiar with the standard circle of fifths and got good chord knowledge...its pretty easy to adapt.

Wah... how is it similar? For example say G chord

6 strings familiar guitar

|--3---| 1st String
|--0---| 2nd String
|--0---| 3rd String
|--0---| 4th String
|--2---| 5th String
|--3---| 6th String

4 strings ukulele, how? there is no 5th or 6th string to hold a G chord.

|--3---| 1st String
|--0---| 2nd String
|--0---| 3rd String
|--0---| 4th String

I guess it is totally different fingers positions, right?

lelong ada, RM59 only

if u even know how to tune a ukulele, and if u know guitar, u can already tell the tuning is the same notes as whats on the 5th fret on the guitar same string.
obviously ignoring the non-existent 5th and 6th strings on ukulele...
so basically whatever ukulele chord u want, just transpose a 5th up and play the guitar chord of the note u get.
so if u need a G chord on ukulele...5th is the D...so play the D shape...of cos there are other D shapes u can play all over the neck.
this is all very basic music theory.

so on ukulele, G = 0232
or eg C up a 5th = G = 0003, and D up a 5th = A = 2220.

animals are nice and tasty.
mcd, kfc, burger king...

Ah!... learn something new again.....

Guys please bear with me just started playing guitar using tabs only. So asking question which may sound funny to the experts here Thank you for taking time to explain the above, but right now, it sound too technical for me. Since you say this are very basic music theory, I better start reading about it. Would you recommend any website where I can read/learn about music theory without having to attend classes.

I guess, I'll stick with the 6 string until understand more about music theory, before exploring ukulele
