Many, many thanks!
I agonized over memorizing the whole fingerboard several times
and finally just gave up on the whole business.
Now it suddenly makes sense.
This is one of the most useful youtube videos ever.

You have a gift of explaining complicated stuff to something interesting, fascinating, simple and logical. Thank you so much, Phil.

I’m truly a novice when it comes to the Uke…i picked it up last year as part of me “ trying to deal with the pandemic” . I can play tons of notes and tunes now but honestly, I haven’t a clue about the fret board or chords. After watching this…I feel like another world has been opened up for me. Truly a master class for dummies ( talking about myself here 😬✌️) . Thank you for providing the “ key” I was missing and for making “ music theory” so digestible. Looking forward to putting theory into practice! 👏👏👏👏🇨🇦

Also helps that the fifth fret and seventh fret are whole notes, so you can create a mnemonic for those starting with the letters. Like for eg "Cheer For A Deer" and "Don't Go Before Evening"

I've played guitar for over 30 years and never knew the fretboard - this tip is inspiring and gives me a better idea of navigating my way; who knows where this might lead. Thanks Phil.

Here's another trick that helps me know the notes at the dot markers on the fretboard. Ukuleles almost always have dots at frets 5, 7, 10, and 12. As Phil explained, the notes at fret 12 are the same names as the open string notes but an octave higher, so you don't need any mnemonic to remember them. If you know the arrangement of chord names on the Circle of Fifths around C, then you can easily remember the notes at dots 5, 7, and 10. The note to the left (counter-clockwise) of C is F and to the right of C is G. The Circle is constructed so that the note to the left of a root note is "a fourth" higher, which is musical lingo for 5 frets higher in pitch. The note to the right of a root note is "a fifth" higher, which is 7 frets higher in pitch. So starting with C on the open 3rd string, the note at fret 5 dot on the 3rd string is F and at fret 7 is G. Fret 10 is 2 times 5 frets higher than the root note C, so fret 10 on the C string is two places to the left of C on the Circle, which is Bb. Applying this to all 4 strings gives you the note names at each of these 3 dot markers. This may seem cumbersome at first, but if you have a mental image of the Circle of Fifths around the C note, it comes quickly to mind. If you don't know the Circle of Fifths, which has so many other uses in music, watch a video about it, such as the one by Phil https://youtu.be/abVbEA0tRnI .

I just started learning ukulele and have no musical background so this helped so much - especially equating the #/b gaps with black piano keys! Thank you so much!

In a sea of YouTube content where a whole lot of stuff is click bait or a waste of time, every once in a while you come across a video that you watch the whole way through on the first go and it just plain makes things *click.* This video was that for me…! You are a very talented teacher with a knack for making things simple, but not oversimplifying them. Bravo! 👏 👏 👏

A masterclass ! What a great teacher Phil is.

Beautiful job! Thank you. A few mnemonics to help find your way about: The 2 notes at the 4th fret are BEfour (B and E on the fourth fret). The notes at the 5th fret are Cats Fight All Dogs(CFAD) and at the 7th fret are DoGBonE (DGBE). This helped me.

The man's a wizard!

Hey Phil, I learned so much from your videos. Thanks for that! I have one question: if different chords are made from different pairs of notes, how does a capoduster work?

Learning basic piano theory makes this so much easier. But this video helped clarify stuff

‘A’ lad this is ‘F’ing ‘G’nius - Why didn’t I ‘C’ it till now? I am ‘D’lighted’ Who knew it could ‘B’ made so ‘E’zee.
Thanks brother. 👏🏻🇺🇦☺️

Been trying to understand my uke's fretboard for a while but all the diagrams I find online are overwhelming. This video is brilliant !! So well explained and fun to follow. You've got a new subscriber here, I'm off to watch more of your videos xx Thank you :)

Phil, I’m SO GLAD to have come across your video! You did a brilliant job of untangling and simplifying what has been my nemesis - learning the ukulele keyboard. Besides it looks like a lot of fun to do so. Thanks!!!!

Good video, I didn't want to be stressed and I was able to remain calm, breathing easily and keeping the heart rate down. I wondered what the noise was and I realized I was snoring.

Well - for any guitarist there is a shortcut: the standard tuned uke has the same notes as the standard tuned guitar starting from fret five - the upper four strings. If you see it this way and already have an idea about how the guitar is tuned - this might help.

Thank you Sir, I am a young student of 56. I am very much fascinated with your lesson. This is YouTube who helped me to get a great teacher like you. Thanks a lot.

I was sitting at the computer. Your program came on without me doing anything about learning the Fretboard. I am a pianist, organist and play accordion and lastly ukulele. I am running out of time am 78 yrs of age but keep music ongoing. I have always wanted to know the names of the keys on the fretboard. After Listening for the first time ever your wonderful presentation sent the light bulb to my brain and I caught the things everything and I was on cloud nine for this info that for many years bothered me not knowing and this will stick the rest of the time God keeps me here. It all clicked and I am just ecstatic and am going to tune in on all your lessons I am a new follower. I just loved your presentation you use words that make concepts stick. THANK YOU FOR REACHING OUT TO THE WORLD ABOUT THE UKE I have never had formal lessons on like the other three instruments. All I have to say it is never to late.
