Uke Minutes 60 – Ghost Notes

Posted September 12th, 2009


Got a question about Ghost Notes? Post it HERE!

Hey UUers!

This week on Uke Minutes, we’ve got a really awesome technique that a lot of professional ukulele players use, but not a lot of people talk about: Ghost Notes! Wooo. Spooky.

Actually ghost notes are “filler notes” – they add an extra element to your picking or finger-picking and fill up empty space without making you have to think too much. Many ukulele players use the open high G string for their ghost notes, but you can pretty much use whatever string you think sounds good. Check out the episode to find out more!

Hope everyone is having an awesome Saturday! Aldrine and the UU guys will be heading to the US Mainland soon, so stay tuned for details!

Aloha,
-UU Staff
