The Bridge Between Guitar and Ukulele
Whether you're a guitar player seeking the portable, high-pitched fun of a ukulele or a ukulele player craving a wider tonal range, the 6-string guitalele is the perfect instrument—and this is the only chart you'll need to master it.
The 11"x17" poster from A New Song Music is a complete visual guide for the standard ADGCEA tuning.
WHAT IS A GUITALELE?
The Guitalele is a hybrid string instrument that combines the small design and tuning of the ukulele with the 6-string design of a nylon guitar. It's a great beginner instrument for the guitar as it has 6 strings and the intervals between the strings are the same. It's a lot easier than playing a steel string guitar because of the smaller 1/4 scale and the ease of holding down the nylon strings. The nylon strings produce a similar sound as the ukulele. It's also referred to as ukitar or kīkū. The tuning is A-D-G-C-E-A low to high. It also makes for a great travel instrument or just a new tone for your playing.
For Guitar Players:
Feel right at home. This tuning is identical to playing a standard guitar with a capo on the 5th fret. All the chord and scale fingerings you already know are the same, making this the easiest "new instrument" you'll ever learn.
For Ukulele Players:
Unlock a richer sound. This chart clearly shows you how to add the two new bass strings (A and D) to your existing GCEA knowledge. You'll gain a deeper understanding of chord construction and add a full, rich bass sound to your playing.
