If you’re stuck staring at the tab too long, just trying to pick some of the notes out by listening can be a great help. I dig this approach for the simple fact that you can listen to the recording and figure things out by ear as well. If you’re working on converting a riff or solo, it’s less likely to be successful. This is especially useful for a low note in a chord. This is fairly easy, but throws the part out of order. Sometimes you need to move up two octaves. Moving the note up to the next octave will often get you out of trouble. You can combat these low notes one of two ways: This means you’re usually struck right off the bat with a note or two you just don’t have on your uke. The guitar’s range is an octave and a bit lower than the ukulele. This is infinitely more useful on tabs that stay in a high range and is kind of useless for ones that don’t.
Since it is just a B note, you could play it on the 4th fret of a low-G string. The “X” is lower than 5 so it can’t be converted in this way. You could play it on ukulele like this: A |-0-3-3-2-| For instance, if the guitar part looks like this: E |-5-8-8-7-|
Just subtract 5 from whatever the number is. Since the ukulele is tuned the same as a guitar capoed on the 5th fret, any number on the tab higher than 5 can be used straight on ukulele. There are a lot of ways to attempt converting a guitar tab to ukulele. (Or at least many good ones that do the song justice.) So it’s natural to try and use guitar tabs as a jumping off point. Which means there are millions more guitar tabs floating around the interwebs.Įspecially if you like playing rock music, or some other similarly guitar-centric genre, there probably aren’t many uke tabs available yet. Guitar has been a big deal a lot longer than ukulele has. It’s quite possible you’ll have an easier time figuring out a song by ear. If you’re a beginner it might be more trouble than it’s worth. This is a nit-picky sort of task probably best suited for intermediate or advanced players.
