Uke #7 - GCEA high G tuning

Earlier on, I have covered a little on uke tuning. You may have heard of low g or high g tuning. You are getting confused. Well for the beginning, you only need to know the standard uke tuning is GCEA - High G tuning.

Standard tuning - High G
1st string - A
2nd string - E
3rd string - C
4th string - High G

Low G tuning
1st string - A
2nd string - E
3rd string - C
4th string - Low G

Note the difference is in the fourth string. If you are using standard tuning, you would also have discovered that the pitch of your 4th string is actually the 2nd highest after the 1st string. This is because your 4th string is G but one octave higher. High g tuning gives you the familiar uke music and most tabs are for high g. Low G tuning is favored by jazz players and it gives your uke a wider range of notes.
