Ukulele hangout

Hi Matt - After trying for ages to try to figure out Chord Melody on my own, I suddenly became sensible and went to basics on your course !! I enjoyed your explanation of “Twinkle, Twinkle …” and reached a good level of understanding but when I printed out your music sheet, I noticed a slight difference between the pdfs. On the hand-written ones you guided us toward playing the open notes on the GCEA voicing. But the printed music sheet directed me to play the fretted G note on the E string rather than the open G. I understand both are the same, but why the change ? Will all chord melody charts point me to a fretted note rather than an open note ?

Hi Matt and everyone, greetings from Norway! I got my first baritone a month ago, after learning / playing the uke for about 9 years. I have taught myself most of the time, but I need to go back to the basics when it comes to the bari and also learn proper music theory. Looking forward to learn more through Matt’s courses (I hope you still have your vintage uke collection)!

Just booked for the summer Retreat, look forward to seeing everyone!
