Buster Keaton can’t seem to get along without Cliff Edwards.
“Sidewalks of New York,” Keaton’s latest at the Riviera, is the third Keaton
talkie in succession in which Edwards has been given a featured role. The
previous two were “Dough Boys” and “Parlor, Bedroom and Bath.”

UNDERSTANDING YOUR UKLELE FRETBOARD

The Fretboard is broken down in several keys. Could be a VERY useful tool. Scroll down and you'll see several different fretboards where the notes are broken down to Root,2,3,4,5,6,7 and m3, m5, m7

HERMAN'S FRETBOARD MEMORIZATION

I am not sure why Herman found this pattern helpful. I suppose on the standard re-entrant tuning we are using the low C as our lowest note in the scale. So he starts with the C to get the most range and therefore we start with the 3rd string, followed by the 2nd and then the 1st. The notes on the 4th string are the same as the 1st string but two frets UP towards the sound hole.

NOTE---------3rd---2nd---1st----(4th)
C-------do-----0-----8------3-----(5)
D-------re-----2-----10-----5-----(7)
E-------mi-----4-----0------7-----(9)
F-------fa-----5------1------8-----(10)
G-------sol----7------3-----10----(12 or 0)
A-------la-----9------5-----0------(2)
B-------ti-----11-----7------2-----(4)

Herman is definitely a classically trained musician. Here's some beautiful music and graceful hands. Thank you Herman for a little lesson. HU
