0:00:05.002,0:00:06.411
Hey how you doing.

0:00:06.411,0:00:08.401
Justin here for another[br]ukulele lesson for you.

0:00:08.401,0:00:11.690
and today we are checking out [br]shape one of the

0:00:11.690,0:00:13.190
moveable chords.

0:00:13.190,0:00:15.990
Okay, so. Hopefully by this [br]stage you're really hip with all of

0:00:15.990,0:00:19.161
the open chord shapes on the uke that[br]we've covered so far in the course.

0:00:19.161,0:00:22.120
And now we're going to look at the [br]chord shapes that move

0:00:22.120,0:00:23.510
up and down the neck.

0:00:23.510,0:00:26.200
Okay, and this particular one [br]that we're looking at today

0:00:26.200,0:00:27.670
I've called shape one.

0:00:27.670,0:00:31.850
Now, the root note for that [br]is on the first string. Okay?

0:00:31.850,0:00:35.520
The one that start with the note A. Okay?

0:00:35.520,0:00:40.170
So, you need to be familiar [br]with the notes on the first string.

0:00:40.170,0:00:43.741
Okay? Particularly the ones kind of [br]early on from the nut,

0:00:43.741,0:00:46.980
say the first 5/6 frets particularly. Ok?

0:00:46.980,0:00:48.400
So let's get to a close up.

0:00:48.400,0:00:50.670
Check out this chord and [br]what the root note is,

0:00:50.670,0:00:53.970
and see if we can't change the chords [br]around a little bit.

0:00:54.211,0:00:58.431
Okay, Here we are with the first of our[br]moveable chord shapes ...

0:00:58.431,0:00:59.740
for the ukulele.

0:00:59.740,0:01:01.800
This one I call Shape One.

0:01:02.090,0:01:04.920
We're going to start with the [br]third finger

0:01:04.920,0:01:07.510
on the fourth fret of the fourth string.

0:01:07.512,0:01:11.841
Then we put the second finger down [br]in the third fret of the third string,

0:01:11.841,0:01:16.523
and we use our 1st finger[br]to cover 2 strings in the 2nd fret.

0:01:16.523,0:01:20.107
That'll be the 1st string and[br]the 2nd string on the 2nd fret.

0:01:20.107,0:01:23.693
Some people prefer to put the fingers[br]down in order, so 1st finger 1st,

0:01:23.693,0:01:27.336
doing a little mini-barré there,[br]2nd finger down on the 3rd fret

0:01:27.336,0:01:31.812

0:02:29.408,0:02:30.998
It's another way of playing a C chord now, [br]

0:02:31.009,0:02:33.574
so, we could do that (♪), way, or that way (♪)

0:02:33.574,0:02:36.899
Same chord. You can hear it sounds[br]slightly different, but it's essentially

0:02:36.899,0:02:44.615
the same chord. Anyone figure out where[br]we'd put it if we wanted to play a D# chord?

0:02:44.615,0:02:52.761
Think about it! So, we had an A there,[br]A#, B, C, C#, D, D#

0:02:52.761,0:02:59.715
Right up on the 6th fret (♪)[br]That's how we'd get our D# chord (♪)

0:02:59.715,0:03:01.040
Okay, so, make sure you get that!

0:03:01.040,0:03:07.883
So we've got A,- would be the open chord,-[br]up one, A sharp/B flat, up another one B.

0:03:07.883,0:03:16.523
C, C sharp/D flat, D, D sharp/E flat, E.

0:03:16.523,0:03:20.717
Okay, so it's a moveable chord shape.

0:03:20.717,0:03:23.712
Very-very cool little idea, you'll learn[br]lots of different chords this way.

0:03:23.712,0:03:28.836
So, it get's cooler. 'cause that's the[br]major chord, ok? If I move it back to B.

0:03:28.836,0:03:30.903
So, 1st finger's in the 2nd fret.

0:03:30.903,0:03:31.878
♪

0:03:31.878,0:03:35.464
That's the major chord.[br]If we take off the 2nd finger,

0:03:35.464,0:03:37.899
and move the bar over, so it's covering now[br]

0:03:37.899,0:03:43.114
3 strings, so we've got:[br]4th fret, 2nd fret, 2nd fret, 2nd fret.

0:03:43.114,0:03:46.849
Now I'm kind of moving my 2nd finger[br]other way, so you can see, I'd normally

0:03:46.849,0:03:53.877
just leave it hanging around.[br]Okay, so 4th fret, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd

0:03:53.877,0:03:57.025
That would be a B minor chord.

0:03:57.025,0:04:02.355
Ok? So, major..minor...ok?

0:04:02.355,0:04:04.298
Now, the same idea just moves around.

0:04:04.298,0:04:08.914
So, if we wanted to say, [br]take it up to a D chord at the 5th fret,

0:04:08.914,0:04:13.878
that'll be a D major chord.[br]That'll be a D minor.

0:04:13.878,0:04:19.110
Ok? Major...minor...major...minor...

0:04:19.110,0:04:24.120
Ok? So, if I wanted you to play a[br]B flat minor chord, you'd start with A,

0:04:24.130,0:04:29.270
find the root note first, so that'd be A, [br]A#/ B flat,- ok, there's the root note,

0:04:29.275,0:04:32.016
now, we know, that was the major shape,[br]oh, there's the minor shape!

0:04:32.016,0:04:34.296
There's B flat minor (♪)

0:04:34.298,0:04:37.881
What, if we wanted to play a D flat minor?

0:04:37.881,0:04:46.597
Ok, 1st of all, you find where the D is,[br]so, A, A sharp, B, C, C sharp, D,

0:04:46.597,0:04:52.164
Then we want a D flat,- we said,[br]D flat minor, so, D, flat, we put down the shape

0:04:52.164,0:04:57.707
and we want D flat minor.[br]So, we'd use that shape (♪) - Ok?

0:04:57.707,0:05:00.114
If you're really clever, you could 've gone[br]straight to the D flat, there, and then

0:05:00.114,0:05:05.334
put down the minor grip - ok?[br]So, a really good exercise is to try

0:05:05.334,0:05:11.001
playing a few songs, just using these shapes.[br]See, if you can find some tunes that

0:05:11.001,0:05:19.346
are just using these (♪)

0:05:19.346,0:05:22.355
Ok? there's all sorts of different little[br]things that you can find that're just using

0:05:22.355,0:05:25.286
these one-shape kinda grips moving around.

0:05:25.286,0:05:29.048
Ok, so, we've looked at major, and minor,

0:05:29.048,0:05:33.327
There's also another really cool one[br]which is dominant 7 (♪)

0:05:33.327,0:05:38.295
Ok? So, we're just barring the whole neck now.[br]Ok? So, this is more like a proper barré chord

0:05:38.295,0:05:42.535
that we'd have on guitar; covering all[br]4 strings with the 1st finger,

0:05:42.535,0:05:47.857
and then we add the 2nd finger[br]in the 3rd fret of the 3rd string.

0:05:47.857,0:05:49.267

0:05:49.267,0:05:51.533
2-3-2-2

0:05:51.533,0:05:54.082
Root note's still here, this would be a B7.

0:05:54.082,0:05:58.143

0:05:58.143,0:06:03.893
If we wanted a D7:[br]ok, find B, C, C sharp, D.

0:06:03.893,0:06:04.835
Put the shape down!

0:06:04.835,0:06:07.342
♪

0:06:07.342,0:06:10.033
Ok? it's really important that you[br]get used to this idea of finding

0:06:10.033,0:06:14.393
the root note on the thinnest string and[br]then putting down the appropriate shape.

0:06:14.403,0:06:18.123
Either major, minor, or 7.[br]

0:06:19.703,0:06:22.943
It's very likely, that learning these [br]moveable shapes on the uke are

0:06:22.943,0:06:26.213
a little bit more challenging then[br]the regular open chords and require

0:06:26.216,0:06:29.079
a little bit more finger strength,[br]but it's just practice!

0:06:29.079,0:06:32.998
Particularly on ukulele, the fact that[br]strings are nice and soft and you don't

0:06:32.998,0:06:36.516
usually have to press'em down too hard, [br]should make it relatively easy.

0:06:36.516,0:06:39.213
It's definitely not as difficult as learning[br]barré chords on the guitar.

0:06:39.213,0:06:42.973
The big deal is, making sure that you know[br]those root notes. 'Cause without knowing the

0:06:42.975,0:06:45.023
root notes, the notes on that thinnest string,

0:06:45.023,0:06:47.524
you're not gonna be able to use these shapes.

0:06:47.524,0:06:51.338
But what this has done, in case you hadn't realised,-[br]is given you a whole lotta chords.

0:06:51.338,0:06:56.407
You've got 3 chords on each different fret[br]that you know know, a maj. chord, a min.chord[br]

0:06:56.407,0:07:00.057
and a dominant 7th on every fret,[br]all the way up, as far as you can get[br]

0:07:00.060,0:07:03.443
your fingers still in the frets - ok?[br]That's a whole lot of chords.

0:07:03.443,0:07:07.613
I don't know exactly how many, but a LOT.[br]Depends on, I guess, how far up the neck

0:07:07.613,0:07:10.738
you feel like you can get to.[br]But this gives you access now to

0:07:10.738,0:07:16.318
all of those chords that you couldn't[br]play before. if you see C#min. or E flat7

0:07:16.320,0:07:19.149
or whatever, these kind of chords that you[br]might not have been able to play in an

0:07:19.149,0:07:22.359
open position, you can now play them[br]using this shape one.

0:07:22.359,0:07:26.281
There's five shapes alltogether.[br]But this particular shape is the one that

0:07:26.281,0:07:30.372
I recommend you spend quite a bit of time[br]with first-ok? And it's got that root note

0:07:30.372,0:07:33.618
on the thinnest string, which is in[br]some instances is the easiest string

0:07:33.618,0:07:38.124
to remember the note names of - ok?[br]So, get to grips with that solidly first,

0:07:38.124,0:07:41.120
before you even think about learning[br]more shapes, but when you're ready,

0:07:41.120,0:07:43.655
join me for the next one, and we're gonna[br]be looking at Shape Two!

0:07:43.655,0:07:45.275
Take care of yourselves![br]Bye-bye!
