Ukulele Video Lessons - Basic Slides Part 1

Ukulele Video Lessons - Basic Slides Part 1. The first slide that you want to do is G major, since that is the lowest on the fret board. On the second fret, place your pointer finger on the A string and on the third fret with your middle finger on the E string. This is known as the first position.

For the second position, you place your pointer finger on the third fret on the A string and then you place your ring finger on the fifth fret on the E string.

For the third position, you are simply going to slide your fingers up once so that your pointer finger is on the fourth fret on the A string and your ring finger is on the sixth fret on the E string.

For the fourth position, you are going to slide your fingers up once more so that your pointer finger is on the fifth fret on the A string and your ring finger is on the seventh fret on the E string.

If you start your slide on the fourth fret, you will be doing A and you play the fourth, fifth and seventh. For B, you start on the sixth fret, for C you start on the seventh fret, for D you start on the ninth fret, for E you start on the eleventh fret and for F you start on the twelfth fret.

Another way that you can do it is that you can start with your pointer finger on the first fret on the A string and your ring finger on the third fret on the E string. Slides are good for country songs and they can take a bit of practice but if you work hard at them you will find that they are something that you can do.
