Jingle Bells on the Ukulele

In this video I demonstrate how relatively easys it is to play a combination of chord and melody of a familiar song (like “Jingle Bells.”) The fact that the ukulele has only three strings that can be used to play melodies is a bit of a limitation. The 4th string (high G on the uke) on the guitar is lower in pitch than string 3 giving you a much broader range for lower notes in a melody. But, as we can see from the video, it is possible to compensate for that fairly successfully.
