Hi chordians

well ave gone and bought a ukelele,just a cheap "vintage" am having trouble tuning it.
The strings were slack and need tightening and tune up!,Can i get away with a guitar tuner?
ave got a korg, a Yamaha and a clip on  "Arion" model mdoes give G for guitar B and C key of C  ?

i think C is for Violins etc are any suitable? and whats the best setup?

Hiya fellow chordians,
       
Anyone got any ideas my problem is "big fat clumsy hands and fingers" trying to play the B7 chord (1st fret)

I am practicing it but just cant seem to get my fingers together for this one! i`l keep on practicing but need a short term fix as songs am attempting to play at this time have this chord in

thanks  The mooch

Is there anyone  that can help me plzz
Ave been  Playing "Danny Boy" (slow ballad) but would like to speed/jazz it up part way through, like Harry Connick jr does in the film "Menphis Belle"..(Yes i know he does it on a piano!) but the chords i have dont seem to work when i do it

i would like to do the change going into the second verse, can anyone help, or point me in the right direction?

regards micky

Can you get Duff strings? Ave replaced the strings on my acoustic with Martin SP 12s and i dont like the sound of them, they sound dead, dull,?
any comments plz
also apart from being easier to play and on the fingers what difference would you get changing to let say 10,s ?
Am thinking of lightening up the strings, so advice before i buy i think

Regards Micky
