Hello everyone.
In the last 3 weeks I moved from gCEA (tenor uke) to DGBE on my tenor guitar. I’m having some issues with A major and Bb/A# chords.
1) Amaj: it sounds just bad. I thought it was cause of the missing A string, but if i pick the same chord on a regular acoustic guitar muting the last 2 strings it’s pretty nice. Not the best, because the dominant note is an E, but it’s okay at least. Any thoughts? Do you feel the same?
2) Bb/A#: the problem here is the “right” version. If you look at the Bari-uke’s Bb chord on internet, they show you one version with an open 4th string (like an Eb on a tenor ukulele); others pick the 4th string at the 3rd freet. Both sound good, but the second one is kinda hard to make for me. I can’t understand which one sounds better.
Do you prefer the first one (open 4th string) or the second one? Is there a “regular” one, or some rule to follow?
