There is lots of ukulele support in BB. Here are 2 videos that describe what you can do from a ukulele perspective in Band-in-a-Box. (This same approach applies to other instruments like guitar, mandolin, violin, 5-string banjo, and guitars with non-standard tunings)



Ukulele with Band-in-a-Box Part 1 http://screencast.com/t/8zrPgQIDln
1. Using the “Tutor” to see ukulele chords on fretboard in any style
2. Playing a Ukulele style (MIDI) to see and hear ukulele chords


Part 2 of video on Ukulele http://screencast.com/t/8bM45o68dr
3. Ukulele Chord Diagrams (with any song any style_
4. Real Ukulele! RealStyles (e.g. Ukes140.sty) that have a Real Ukulele

Part 3: Putting it all together! http://screencast.com/t/rF8aaAXU
Using the features taught in the previous videos, we show playing a Real Ukulele style (so you hear a real ukulele), and seeing/printing chord diagrams, and seeing on-screen guitar fretboard display using the guitar tutor

Hope this helps you get your chops together!

Have Fun!

Thanks Peter. This is great info! As to my chops....well summer is starting and for some reason my horn cases are a lot more difficult to open when it's so nice outside

Update: Just watched the videos. They are very helpful in showing how BIAB can be used to practice your uke. Looks like a good possibility to do a uke duet with yourself, too. I didn't check out all of the styles with ukes, but that might be interesting to check out some different strum patterns.

I think it's the humidity. The exact thing happens here in Ohio.

Thanks for the informative videos.

If I'm understanding correctly, it looks like ukulele support is in the windows version and not in the mac version of the software. Is this correct? If so, is there a timeframe for including uke support on the Mac?

Thanks,

Typop

Thanks, Peter!

This should be great for showing my students the C to G7 chord change in "Hush Little Baby." My fifth graders are struggling with the G7 chord, so this lesson was really helpful to me.
