Amazing Grace is one of the best known hymns Christian. The words were written by John Newton. Here are the letters of the first stanza:

Amazing Grace! How Sweet The Sound

Was blind but now I see

No need to know the music on your page scoring ukulele. Instead we use a form of notation known as tab ukulele.

By entering your ukulele in playing position has the first string nearest your feet. Is the string with the highest degree and in general is an A.

Here is an example of ukulele tab:

01 11 31 11 01

The first digit of the pair tells you what fret to press. The second number which string to play. 01 means that you play the first string without pressing a finger of his left hand. In other words, play the open string first.

11 means that you press the little finger left hand in the first box on the first string and play. Now you can play the easy ukulele tab above.

Let's play the first part of Amazing Grace:

Amazing Grace! How Sweet The Sound

03 12 01 12 01 32 12 23 03

03 means you Play the third string open. Play the notes with the thumb of his right hand or in any other way you want.

The length of the note is indicated with the notation of ukulele tab. I suppose you'll discover how to play the notes by yourself.

Let's play the following line:

That saved a wretch like me!

03 12 01 12 01 32 01 31

What finger from left to use when you play?

Although this may be a little difficult at first, I suggest you play the notes on the first fret with your index, notes the second box with your long fingers and the notes on your third fret with your ring finger.

Of course, you can play all notes with your index but when his fingers left to get used to playing like I suggested actually easier to find the right notes.
