There are two kinds of strings that will work on this instrument: classical guitar strings (nylon), or special guilele (some versions of this instrument are called guilele, not guitalele) strings made by Aquila.
Keeping this in view, are guitalele strings the same as a guitar?
Tuning. As we mentioned, both a guitalele and a guitar have 6 strings. However, they are tuned differently. A guitar as standard will be tuned to E-A-D-G-B-E whilst a guitalele is tuned as standard to A-D-G-C-E-A which represents the same tuning as a guitar but higher.
Consequently, can I use normal guitar strings on a guitalele? String and Tuning Options for the Steel String Guitalele
Simply string with your favorite guitar strings (these are mine). (As an aside, I always recommend lighter gauge strings, apart from special use cases like slide guitar, because they put less tension and thus less wear and tear on your instrument.)
Beside this, can you play a guitalele like a ukulele?
Standard ukuleles are basically guitars that are tuned 2 1/2 steps up with the two bass strings removed, so a guitalele is the same thing (except it still has the two bass strings). So you can technically use any guitar tab and play it on your guitalele – the song will sound the same, just in a higher key.
Can you play guitar chords on a guitalele?
You can play a guitalele like acoustic guitar in that the chord shapes are just like a guitar’s chord shapes. In terms of size, a guitalele is about the same size as a ukulele.
Can you use nylon guitar strings on a ukulele?
With fingerstyle ukulele it’s important to have a string diameter that makes it easy for the right hand to play. The thicker classical guitar strings provide that. While I use a wound fourth string, you can also use a nylon, non-wrapped fourth string for re-entrant tuning and still get a good feel in the right hand.
Do you use a pick with a guitalele?
Because a guitalele has both guitar and ukulele roots, you can use either guitar or ukulele picks to emphasize different aspects of the instrument. For instance, standard plastic guitar picks will give your guitalele more of a classical guitar sound.
Does Yamaha guitalele have a truss rod?
The Caramel CB500G guitalele comes with an all rosewood body, rosewood fretboard and bridge, buffalo bone nut and saddle, adjustable truss rod (wrench included).
How do you pronounce guitalele?
How do you replace guitalele strings?
Is it hard to play guitalele?
The guitalele has some qualities that are good for beginners. For instance, its smaller size and nylon strings typically make this instrument easier for beginners. However, you can find these qualities in a less than full-size classical guitar which can be even better for a beginner.
What strings do you use for a guitalele?
Strings for Standard Guilele Tuning: ADGCEa
If you are using this tuning and your guitalele has bridge pins, I recommend these strings. If your guitalele doesn’t have bridge pins, I recommend Aquila’s strings made specifically for the guitalele with this tuning.
