Adam Traum has created a set of basic ukulele lessons that’s taught from a guitar player’s perspective. In this first of two lessons, he demonstrates the similarities and differences between the ukulele and guitar, and shows how to take first position guitar chord knowledge and immediately apply it to the ukulele.

Adam starts with the foundations of how the two instruments are related, and he discusses the choices between reentrant, or high G tuning, and low G. He quickly gets into basic two- and three-chord songs in multiple keys, teaching right hand techniques as well as chord inversions and other tips and tricks to get you playing right away. The lesson progresses with closed position chords that contain easy licks and phrases that will make the relatively simple songs more interesting.

In the lesson, Adam covers He’s Got the Whole World in His Handsin C, F and Bb; Down By the Riversidein C, F and G; When the Saints Go Marching In in C, A and D; Roll in My Sweet Baby’s Arms in F and Bb. He closes the lesson with the picking-hand driven CuckooBird, which incorporates a banjo-like clawhammer technique that’s accessible but still challenging.

Ukulele For Guitar Players: Beyond the Basics

Taught by Adam Traum

75 Minutes

In his second ukulele for guitar players cross training video, Adam Traum goes beyond the basics covered in the first lesson. After a brief breakdown of transposing from first position chords on the guitar to the ukulele he digs into the closed position chords, licks and picking hand ideas for more advanced songs.

He starts with relatively basic jug band classic, Stealin’ and quickly moves to the blues classic Hesitation Blueswhere he shows licks, chords up the neck and some fun breaks.

The Wayfaring Strangeris taught in D minor and uses hammer-ons and pull-offs along with moveable closed chord voicings. Wanderin’is taught in the key of F in the vein of Vernon Dalhart’s version and uses a variety of Major and minor chords and includes a cool bending riff at the turnaround.

He concludes the lesson with Beautiful Dreamer, the Stephen Foster classic, which lends itself beautifully to the reentrant tuned ukulele using expressive double-stops and mix of first position and closed chords.
