An ukulele is used mostly to play chords to songs. But you can also play melodies. Today you will learn to play Morning Has Broken on your ukulele.

“Morning Has Broken” is a Christian hymn. It has often been erroneously attributed to Cat Stevens, who recorded a popular version of the song.

Here is the first verse:

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the world

You don’t need to read sheet music to play this song on your ukulele. Instead we will use tablature.

Tablature is a form of musical notation, often with numbers and letters, which tells the player where to place their fingers on a particular instrument rather than which pitches to play.

We will use a form of ukulele tab that is correctly displayed on article sites. You will find the more common ukulele tab notation on my site with guitar tab, ukulele tab and free sheet music.

The four strings on your ukulele is numbered from the one with the highest pitch which is called the first string.

The first string is the one nearest your feet when you hold your ukulele to play. It is normally tuned to an A.

Let’t take a look at the first ukulele tab and lyrics in the song Morning Has Broken:

Morning has broken, like the first morning

03 02 32 31 51 21 01 32 01 21 01 32

Now it’s time to learn to read this ukulele tab. The first number in the pair tells you what fret to press down and the second number what string to play.

The first note 03 tells you to play on the open third string which means that you play the string without pressing down any fret.

32 means that you press down a left hand finger on the third fret of the second string and play the note.

This type of ukulele tab doesn’t tell you the length of the notes. If you sing the lyrics you will probably feel how to play the notes so you will recognize the song.

It´s time for the next ukulele tab:

Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird

03 23 02 32 01 32 02 03 23

I suggest that you use your left hand index finger to press down the notes on the first fret, your middle finger for the second fret and your ring finger for the notes on the third fret and in this song also on the fifth fret.

Of course you might find it easier to use your left hand index finger for pressing down all notes.

However in the long run you will probably find it easier to play melodies if you get used to this more sophisticated fingering.

The next ukulele tab comes here:

Praise for the singing, praise for the morning

32 02 32 31 01 32 02 03 03 32

By now you know how to interpret ukulele tab so I don’t need to help you!

The last line with lyrics and ukulele tab follows:

Praise for the springing fresh from the world

02 23 02 32 01 23 02 23 03

Congratulations! Now you can play Morning Has Broken with ukulele tab!

This type of ukulele tab will work on a guitar too as long as you only use the first three strings as we have done in this melody.

The best thing you can do with this melody is probably to memorize it by learning one line at a time. It is nice to have a repertoire and be able to play melodies anytime and everywhere!

A wedding engagement and subsequent ceremony has not been valid unless there is a right music to setting the mood and making sure people have fun with the music. Music has the power to set a mood, evoke emotion, and give moment cohesiveness. Wedding bands with a repertoire of tried & tested crowd pleasers and state of the art sound & lighting equipment, dedicated to making your event a truly memorable experience. When selecting wedding bands, many things must be taken into consideration; most importantly, whether or not the wedding band sets you choose will look terrific, wear well and accommodate your active lifestyle.

Wedding band line-up consists of vocals, drums, bass, guitar and keyboards. The band plays a variety of popular music – Robbie Williams, Queen, Santana, Van Morrison, and Ricky Martin with superb vocals making the band of choice for parties and all kind of function. Some wedding bands can really only play one sound, and have a hard time switching genres or styles. The wedding band combines elegant music with lush harmonies and high-energy dance music, featuring an extensive repertoire spanning seven decades.

The wedding band will usually provide the bride and groom with a sheet to fill out indicating all of the announcements, special dance selections and other details regarding the order of events that will take place during the party or functions. Talented musicians working well together with artful use of musical equipment can often create a better sound than bands that employ a larger number of musicians.

There are many event agencies which provide various sporting events across the world. The sporting event valuations have been compiled by adding up television rights fees sponsorship revenue, ticket purchasing and licensing revenue. Sporting events offering to include Adult Sports and Youth Sports along with Participant Liability and Participant Accident Medical, Weather & Event Cancellation, Extreme Sport, Travel, Accident and Prize Indemnity.

Free sheet music for current popular music is NOT legal

It is sick for one musician to steal from another

All people love music. Good music soothes the soul, calms the heart, and fills the ears. Indeed, it is difficult to imagine a world without music.

If you are a musician, a recording artist, a member of a band, a businessman engaged in the music industry, or merely a music lover, it would be a cool to have a music room in your house. This could be a spare room, a cozy corner, or even a specifically constructed room where you could practice your musical skills, hang out and practice with the band, or just relax and unwind while listening to the soft strums of a guitar.

If you are planning to have a music room, here are some ideas to make it more conducive to its purpose.

1. A music room is usually a place for relaxation. Therefore, you should put chairs, tables, or couches for people to relax while listening. Even a single very comfortable chair, a recliner, or a love seat would suffice.

2. Preferably, your music room should have an outside view, and that outside view should be a pleasant one. For example, through your music room’s window, you may see the city skyline, a garden, or the beachfront.

3. Add some wall decors. For instance, musical metal wall art of your choice may be metal notes that are cut or photo-etched from sheet metal or brass. You may also want to put posters of your favorite singers or musical groups. Do not just stick the posters on the wall; it is usually better to frame it.

4. You can also add other decorations such as lava lamps, flowers, and plants. Lamp shades and blooms usually brighten up any room, and it would be very good to have one in your music room. Choose blooms and light accessories with bright colors. Just make sure that vases and lampshades and such do not stand in the way; a swing of a guitar or the thrusting of a violin bow can knock them off from their perch.

5. The way you arrange the furniture in your music room plays a big part of its composition. For example, if you are using your music room as a place where you can sit and relax while you are playing your guitar, then avoid clutter and put your recliner or seat near a window. If you are using the room as a practice venue, place all large instruments, amplifiers, speakers, and other equipment against the room’s walls, leaving the center clear for you and other members to practice. In case your members are carrying portable instruments such as guitars, make sure to have enough space to swing the instruments around.

6. Aside from music metal wall art, sculptures, and posters, you can also use your own instruments or paraphernalia as decorations-guitars, jackets, album covers, the list is endless.

7. Lighting also plays a big part in setting the mood in your music room. For example, if you are in a rock band, a red light would give your room a “dangerous” feeling, very conducive for a rock theme. However, if you are the one who likes classical or instrumental music, install pin lights and soft lighting.

I am looking for songs that me and my brother can play together.
He is already playing guitar for a while but I have just started on the keyboard. The books we have at the moment only has a few bars of each song and we can play those.

It must be full songs, although it can be a simplified version.

Thnx a lot

Check out ultimate guitar. Google that.

Its got billions of songs although in tabs.

Finally, here’s the Fugue part as a follow-up to my previous Toccata version played on Axon AX100 guitar synth. (I’ve also added a new Toccata version without the Axon, but with the Roland GR-100 instead).
In my first version of Toccata I used only the church organ sound from my Axon, but on the Fugue I’ve mixed the Axon sound with my good old Roland GR-100, one of Roland’s analog “guitar synth” units from the early 80’s. It doesn’t sound much like a synth, though, it’s basically a “hexaphonic fuzz”.. Both sounds were recorded simultaneously and mixed in Cubase, to make it sound like a “duet” for organ and guitar, and you can see me playing both tracks on the split screen.
I also added a third track on a few small sections where I found my piano sheet music version lacked something compared to the original organ version. (the piano version uses of course only two staffs/voices, the original organ version has three; left and right hand plus feet).
Of all my You tube videos, this has been my biggest challenge so far. It’s not the easiest piece of music to play on a guitar, so it took quite a few hours to learn, reading both treble and bass clefs from the sheet music..
Hope you enjoy it!

Additional pedals used: Electro-Harmonix Micro Pog, Boss DD-6 dig.delay, Boss RV-5 dig. reverb, Palmer PDI-09 The Junction guitar DI box.

I know how to read tabs, I know how to read chords, and I know how to read rhythms, so don’t tell me how to do those like in similar questions. What I what to know is how to read music for guitar that is just single notes that doesn’t have tabulature. Direct me to a website or something good.

music is music… whether it’s for guitar or for piano. The staff is made up of five lines and four spaces. They are read as follows:
———— F
E
———— D
C
———— B
A
———— G
F
———— E

The lines are E G B D F… some use the line "Every Good Boy Does Fine" to remember those notes… the spaces spell out "FACE"… the C in "FACE" is what is called "Middle C" and works out to be the "B" string first fret. That gives you a starting point to figuing out how to read the notes.

Any lines or spaces above the staff, you just keep the progression going. Now a "b" next to a note means that it is a "flat" and a half step lower. A "#" is a "sharp" and means it’s a half step higher.

I am assuming you know the notes on the guitar and what half steps and full steps mean.

Are you interested in knowing how to tell the key signatures, clefs and coda’s and whatnot? Try this website… it’s pretty good;
