Where can you find the ukulele music for Travel Song from Shrek the Musical?shrekthemusical.com

His mother taught him when he was young.

Yes, one of the translations of ukulele is 'jumping flea.' It can also be interpreted as 'the gift that came here.'

This question is a lot like asking "How many colors are there?". Just as there are 3 primary colors (5 if you count black and white), there are a limited amount of basic "chords" but an almost infinite amount of variations. Assuming that we discuss basic music theory without adding in any complications from "partial tunings" - we know that music theory says that a chord occurs when 3 or more notes are played simultaneously. There are 12 notes in an octave. Depending on how many octaves you have available - (some guitars has 3 some have 4) - and the tuning you use on your guitar (Standard or not) - there are between 40,000 and 450,000,000 chords you could construct. I would never suggest learning "all" of the chords. But - if you learn your standard barre chords and the Major/Minor/7th/Minor 7th/Major 7th - you will be well ahead of the ball game. Also, if you learm music theory and learn how to construct chords - then playing any chord will only be a matter of dexterity in your fingers. So - to begin - learn this and you will have achieved a great amount of musical knowledge:

12 major chords

12 minor chords

12 7th chords

12 Minor 7th chords

12 Major 7th chords. That's 60 chords! Pretty impressive considering that most songs are based on 3 or 4 chords.

Serramonte Music Center has a selection of guitars. Whether they actually sell ukuleles or not is not specified on their web site. Give them a call to find out if they have any in stock. I would be surprised if they didn't have a few available, and they could certainly order one for you.

The notes are the same on all instruments.

A ukulele is played by strumming the strings, which are in a flat across arrangement. A violin is played using a rosined bow pulled and pushed across the strings, which are in a curved arrangement.

Given that the ukulele wasn't created until 15 or so years after he was dead, it is safe to say that Lincoln never played or even saw an ukulele.

Tiny Tim was laid to rest with his ukulele and tulips, but he was 64 years old.

As much as you are willing to pay. The least expensive run about $30 and can go as much as $5-6,000 for a custom made version.

There are lots of great campfire songs that are good for a uke.

Kumby ya

Michael Row the Boat ashore

Lord of the Dance

I've put a couple links below of some good web sites with campfire songs.

And the nice part is once everyone is singing, they won't hear the uke that much, so a mistake is not that bad a thing.

There were individuals in every generation that brought it to the forefront.

Currently, such people as Jason Mraz, Taylor Swift and Train have brought it mainstream.

Arthur Godfrey in the 50's.

George Formby in the 30's and 40's.

With a capo on the second fret, the chords are:

E B C#m Asus2

Verse 2: E B F#m7 A x 2

Bridge: E B F#m A B x 2

The true definition of of 'Uke' is actually 'Receiver' which is related to something called 'Seme' which is 'attacker'. Both Uke and Seme are involved in homosexual relationships, Mainly in Yaoi and Yuri. Seme is the dominate one (the one on top) and uke is the one on the bottom.

You can try dropping the current string down a full octave, but I'm not sure it will work. In most cases you would have to buy a different string. Look for a set that is labeled GCEA rather than G'CEA. And I tried going the other way once and snapped the string.

Value depends on size, condition and materials. There have been numerous Marco Polo's for sale on eBay starting at $19.99. They are from the '60's.

It looks like a Tenor size Fender with a Mango Spelt sound board.

According to the Fender web site Jimmy Stafford plays a Fender Nohea Ukulele - All Koa and a Hau'oli - All laminate.

Typically there are no minerals in an ukulele. Metal and wood are the primary materials. There may be traces in the finish and adhesives.

Presuming you mean an f# chord:

a 1

e 2

c 1

g 3

The ukulele is based on a small instrument from Portugal called the machete which in turn is a variation of the cavaquinho. They look much like a miniature guitar, but come in many other shapes as well.

A concert ukulele has a fret board that has a scale length of 15 inches and an overall length of about 23 inches.

The current 'standard' or most common tuning is G'CEA also called Reentrant Tuning. Most of the music is based on this tuning.

It has evolved over time, for the most part as music styles have changed. There are at least 3 other tunings that are used by musicians on their ukukleles, including the Slack String tuning, the Low G tuning and the Canadian tuning.

The standard Treble clef.
