Tuning Ukulele, GCEA with a tuner, tutorial, piano guide

This video uses a Mc Crypt eNote nano Tune up Device. But look around for a brand that you might like. In this video, you could tune your ukulele to it if you do not have your own tuner.

If you were on the G note (on the white keys of the piano chart here) and you wanted to move half a step higher it would be called G# or G-sharp (on the piano guide it would be on the black notes).

It means to lower the note half a step down. if you were on the A note (on the white keys of the piano chart here in the video) and you wanted to move half a step down it would be called an Ab or A-flat (on the piano guide it would be on the black note between G and A – with the blue writing here on the piano chart guide as Ab). As you will notice on the chart (included again at the end of video), that the black notes have 2 different writing
