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. But the main object is to show you an easy way to keep your ukulele in-tune with the clip on tuner if you are first-time ukulele player looking for some help. You do not have to be able to read musical notation with this video. I have included a one-octave piano picture from C,D,E,F,G,A,B so that you could follow with your tuner to guide you along. In the German notation the B that we are use to, is actually called H, but for our purpose we will stay with B. Signs: # (the pound sign) is actually in musical notation called sharp. It means to raise the tone half a step up. 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). Sign: b (looks almost like a small b) is actually in musical notation called a flat. 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 …

“BRINY DEEP” Music Video – Directed by Derek Frey

CREDITS Starring RAVANI FLOOD Directed and Produced by DEREK FREY MAKING OF THE VIDEO “We shot the video over two days, along the rocky eastern coastline of Puna on the big island of Hawaii. I wanted it to look more like the coastline of the Pacific Northwest or New England. I always had cliffs in mind ever since I first heard the song. We were fortunate enough to shoot on a couple of overcast days where the water was really stirred up. Most of the Eastern coast of the big island has scenery like this but one of our main concerns was to find a stretch where you wouldn’t see any homes in the background. TThe only crew involved were RaVani and myself. I threw my camera gear in a bag and brought a portable radio for playback. RaVani sang to a temp mix of the song in which the chorus had not been recorded yet. Luckily once the song was complete it synched up perfectly. The band was in a transitional period and not all of the members were available for the shoot. Also, I thought it would be more appropriate to focus on RaVani due to the mystical and thematic elements of the song which center around a relationship between a mother and daughter. The limited crew, however, worked out for the best because it’s quite dangerous out around the cliffs. RaVani actually worried me a few times when she stepped out on the edge without warning me. A couple times I thought she was going right over. It made for some great shots but I wouldn’t suggest it to anyone. We were probably lucky. The …
