Tuner

I’m perplexed! It looks to me like the arrow on the fret is pointing the opposite direction of the arrows at the bottom on every strumming pattern. Am I misinterpreting the direction?? Confused.
The strumming pattern at the bottom is shown in the traditional way. That means down strum = pointing down, up strum = pointing up.
On the fretboard we chose the way that you look at the neck when you play the ukulele. That’s why the direction differs. I hope that helped.

Do you have a version of lessons for Iphone 3gS or anything for Windows desktop?
Sorry, the app doesn’t work with the 3GS or on Windows desktops ( just Mac ). In case you understand German ( just a guess ), we sell a DVD on ebay ( at the moment only Germany, Austria, Switzerland ) for 14,99 € + postage. If you’re interested, just send me another mail.

Hello,
do you have lessons for baritone uke? how would I use your lessons if I have a baritone uke?
Hi Asher,
we’re not providing apps or playalongs for baritone ukulele. If you want to use our stuff for a bari you have to tune it g C E A instead of D G B E. Livingwater strings match this tuning. Of course the pitch of a baritone is one octave higher than the one of a soprano. But it’s possible to use the app in this way.
Best regards
