#ChordMelodyChallenge - Day 4 - Know Your Roots - Chord Melody Ukulele Tutorial

Day 4 of our chord melody challenge and today we are going back to our roots, where things start, the seed that plants the chord, we are breaking down the value of the root note of the chord. On other stringed instruments the lowest note frequency wise in the chord is usually the root note, but that isn't the case with the Ukulele, partly because it only has 4 strings, but even more so due to the reentrant tuning, our "lowest" note isn't always our root note. I say "lowest" in quotes because if the note is on the G string, then it isn't the lowest frequency wise. That means the Ukulele has a lot of inversions, an inversion is where there is a different chord tone in the bass, as a result you really need to a do a little homework to find the root note of the chord on the ukulele, but it pays off big dividends once you do, because you can use a root note to harmonies the melody. This would be the technique you would use to make the melody audible in a fingerpicking chord melody pattern, that and the use of dynamics. Dynamics being the force that you use to pluck the string and how varying the force with which you use can change the sound of the same exact notes that you play.
