Like guitar, basic ukulele skills can be learned fairly easily, and this highly portable, relatively inexpensive instrument was popular with amateur players throughout the 1920s, as evidenced by the introduction of uke chord tablature into the published sheet music for popular songs of the time [25] (a role that was supplanted by the guitar in ...
English: A chord chart for beginner ukulele players that demonstrates the correct fingerings to play the 36 basic chords. Whereas most chord charts display the fretboard vertically to save space, here the fretboard is intentionally horizontal (as how a ukulele is held) to make it easier for beginners (the target audience of this chart) to use.
The guitalele is variously marketed (and used) as a travel guitar or children's guitar. It is essentially a modern iteration of the Quint guitar. [5] A guitalele or guitarlele. A guitalele is the size of a ukulele, and is commonly played like a guitar transposed up to “A” (that is, up a 4th, or like a guitar with a capo on the fifth fret).

In music theory, a ninth chord is a chord that encompasses the interval of a ninth when arranged in close position with the root in the bass. [1] The ninth chord and its inversions exist today, or at least they can exist. The pupil will easily find examples in the literature [such as Schoenberg's Verklärte Nacht and Strauss's opera Salome]. It ...
The implementation of chords using particular tunings is a defining part of the literature on guitar chords, which is omitted in the abstract musical-theory of chords for all instruments. For example, in the guitar (like other stringed instruments but unlike the piano ), open-string notes are not fretted and so require less hand-motion.
The lap steel ukulele is typically placed on the player's lap, or on a surface in front of the seated player. The strings are not pressed to a fret when sounding a note, rather, the player holds a metal slide called a steel in the left hand, which is moved along the strings to change the instrument's pitch while the right hand plucks or picks the strings.
The chord is favored by Pixies lead guitarist Joey Santiago, with D 7 ♯ 9, reminiscent of the opening to "A Hard Day's Night", opening and being called the "secret ingredient" of the song "Here Comes Your Man". A "brutally scraped" F 7 ♯ 9 features in the chorus of "Tame" against the three chord rhythm guitar part's D, C, and F chords. [27]
