Excellent, as always!

BTW, what kind of ukulele do you play (make, size, tuning, etc.)?

Its a Luna brand concert size, with a pre-amp and acoustic pick up, regular GCEA tunning, Pro-Arté Rectified Black Nylon string by D'Addario, which have a super mellow sound.

I thought a Ukulele was tuned GDAE...like a mandolin, fiddle, &c. ?

Thanks for the videos, well done!

Standard is G3-C4-E4-A4 so high first string, common alternative tuning with a G4, or D3-G3-B3-E4 on tenors, and sopranos sometimes tune to A3-D4-F#4-B4

What a great trip!

Here's "standard" tuning.

And here's the less common but still popular "low G" tuning.

Low G would be equivalent to capo-ing a guitar at the 5th fret and only playing the D, G, B, & E strings.
