Appendix B: How To Tune a Ukulele

This is a very brief entry explaining the basics of tuning a ukulele. Tuning a ukulele is very simple, much like that of a guitar. The main difference is that a ukulele has 4 strings instead of the usual 6.

Making sure your instrument is in tune is the first and most important step in learning any instrument. Being in tune makes all the chords sound nice (and correct!) and is especially important when playing in band situations.

The standard tuning for a ukulele is G C E A. The following video will show how to tune a ukulele.

Simply turn your tuning pegs towards you to flatten the note or away from you to sharpen the note...until all 4 notes are at the correct pitch. Once everything is sounding in tune, you are ready to play!
