This means if your G-string is at an F# note, the tuner shows “G,” which is the closest in pitch. The guitar and uke modes limit the display range, only showing those notes in the tuning. Some tuners have guitar, uke, and chromatic modes. Many tuners these days come with lots of options and settings that can be very confusing at first. This makes the strings sound high-low-higher-highest – “my dog has fleas.”Ī low-G is a more contemporary sound and is tuned to the G below middle C which keeps the string in an ascending order: low to high (called “linear”). The G-string can either be a “high-g” or a “low-G”.Ī high-g is traditional and is tuned to the G above middle C (called “re-entrant”).
The bottom string has the lowest number, the top string has the highest number. This can seem backwards at first so just think of it like the stories in a building. The C and E-strings sit respectively between. I tell my students who have a hard time remembering this to think of it like, “ Goats Can Eat Anything.”Įach string is numbered for easy reference when teaching. This is the most common tuning for the ukulele.
