First Wednesday of the Month is Baritone Wednesday, enjoy!

First time I ever broke a string on camera as well

MP3 backing track included

One of the biggest reasons people shy away from the baritone, other than "learning new chords" which to be honest is pretty goofy because you actually don't have to learn any new chords, you just have to learn the names. The G chord on the standard is a D chord on the baritone but it is the exact same shape. I find it a little crazy that people run away form the baritone because of that, as it literally requires minimum effort, okay, rant over, but the other biggest reason is people don't really know how to jam along with other standard ukuleles, which I do find a little more justifiable. If you can't jam with your friends, what fun is playing? Good news though everyone, your buddy with Tenthumbs is here to put some of this confusion to bed.   

There are a couple other techniques that can be explored, playing the baritone like bass, fingerpicking barre chords, more advanced arpeggios, but here are five techniques to help you jam your Baritone ukulele with your friends in standard tuning.   

The Five Techniques

  • 1. Open shape, same strum pattern.  
  • 2. Open shape fingerpicking. 
  • 3. Barre chords - let them ring 
  • 4. Double stops 
  • 5. Pentatonic scales

Pentatonic scales The last one, jamming the pentatonic scales, really requires the most effort. If you want to get started there here are two tutorials that you should watch, the first one breaks down the e minor pentatonic scale and all five of its shapes. https://youtu.be/XqPH3cbrUgo The other one tackles transposition, which shows you how to move the pentatonic scale around the fretboard which lets you jam the scale in any key.
