G4 C4 E4 A4 from bass to treble (4th to 1st). If you're using the AP Tuner use the Add button to add your own tuning.

My goal is to be able to play as well as people think I can.

--- tune to the dial tone --

I find this very interesting, I wonder what other notes a touch tone phone has to offer?

Sorry Jeremy...G4 is the G above middle C, C4 is middle C, E4 is the E above middle C and A4 is the A above middle C. (The 4th string will be G3, or the G below middle C, if you're playing with a low-G string.) If you downloaded the tuner app I posted the link for then you can set it up for ukulele tuning using the G4 C4 E4 A4 note designations.

(BTW, a standard-tuned guitar is E2 A2 D3 G3 B3 E4.)

Did you know that if you get confused and try to tune a string an octave too high it snaps with a vengeance? Don't ask me how I know.

Duke
Hana, Maui
Keola's C-wahine
Because it's pretty and because C is my singing key and because I'm finding I can play all the songs I like in it. I especially love discovering minor chords and other off-the-beaten-C-path chords and attempting to modulate to other keys. Key of F works, if it's simple, G too.
Favorite instruction book is Keola's blue book (can't think of the proper title).

I've been playing in C Ni'ihau or C G D G A D for a couple of years now. Try it out and you'll find it has a lot of harmonic check points to work with.
