Guitars, however, are typically tuned in a series of ascending perfect fourths and a single major third. To be exact, from low to high, standard guitar tuning is EADGBE—three intervals of a fourth (low E to A, A to D and D to G), followed by a major third (G to B), followed by one more fourth (B to the high E).

Assuming that the music is played in equal temperament (a tuning system in which all twelve half-step intervals are exactly the same "width") and that you don't have absolute pitch, different keys shouldn't sound very different at all to you.

The relationship between the strings on a ukulele are the same as the relationship between the first four strings on a guitar. This means that all the chord shapes you learned on the guitar are usable on the uke. The thing you have to remember is this: the same chord shape doesn't produce the same chord sound.

A standard guitars tuning (from lowest string to highest) is E A D G B E. Baritone guitars are usually tuned a fifth lower (A D G C E A), or a fourth lower (B E A D F♯ B). Therefore, all the chord patterns you already know are exactly the same on a baritone, but simply produce a lower voice.

So amplifiers designed for an electric guitar will work well with the uke. You might also fancy experimenting with pedals, to get even more distortion, reverb etc. A guitar does reach much lower pitches than a uke, so you'll never get that gutsy crunch a guitarist gets from power-chording on the bass strings.

Hi! Yes, you can use wound steel strings on your ukuele, and of course they should be strings made for the ukulele. I have used Low G wound steel strings on my tenor ukuleles for years. As others have mentioned, it produces a sound different from from that of the mellow Island Sound produced by nylon strings.

it is perfectly fine to use a pick for a different sound. More players today are playing melodies on the uke, or adapting rock songs and other styles to the uke. So if a song or style demands a pick, then by all means go for it! Ukuleles have nylon strings, so you won't need a super heavy pick.

For me it depends on the style how you play the ukulele. Play a song with smooth slow strums and plucks in minor key and you get a sad song. Sad songs are usually in minor keys. ... Play a song with smooth slow strums and plucks in minor key and you get a sad song.

Short answer - yes, chords would all be the same. ... But those same chords (i.e. on piano and guitar) will sound different because of the different in the tuning. Note layout on piano is linear so chord construction is also that way; but on guitar it is different.

There can be differences in the materials used as well, but all things being equal, guitar and banjo (and mandolin and dulcimer) strings are the same. They just package strings sets for convenience and label them accordingly.

The banjo is tuned to an open tuning, called “Open G tuning.” The guitar is typically tuned to “Standard” which are the notes E, A, D, G, B, E, and this does not create an open chord like the banjo tuning does.
