Guitalele Tuning Compared To Ukulele and Guitar

In this short 4K video you’ll learn the string names to the guitarlele.

Learning the string names to the guitalele is simple whether your a ukulele or a guitar player.

If you a ukulele player, strings 1-4 are exactly the same as any soprano, concert, or tenor ukulele.

The strings are:
1st string – A
2nd string – E
3rd string – C
4th string – G

Then all you have to do is add the 2 low strings and you got a guitarlele.

5th string – D
6th string – A

If your a guitar player the tuning is exactly the same as a guitar except that everything is transposed up a 4th:

Guitar Tuning:
1st string – E
2nd string – B
3rd string – G
4th string – D
5th string – A
6th string – E

Guitarlele Tuning:
1st string – A
2nd string – E
3rd string – C
4th string – G
5th string – D
6th string – A

Another way to think about it is if you bar all 6 strings are the 5th fret of your guitar, you have the notes of a guitarlele.

Also, all your guitar chords will work as well on the guitarlele, except again everything will be transposed up a 4th.

So, a C chord on the guitar becomes an F chord on the guitarlele (up a 4th)

The G chord on the guitar becomes the C chord on the guitarlele (up a 4th).
