The Music Warrior Network

Ukulele Warrior is one site in the network, and every sister has a subject of its own. This page says which one to open when the answer you want is not a ukulele answer.

What this site is for

Ukulele Warrior covers the ukulele family and stops there: soprano through baritone, the taro-patch, the banjolele, and the guitalele. Most people arrive here expecting a small guitar, and the first job of the site is to take that expectation apart. Standard GCEA is reentrant — the fourth string is tuned above the third — so a shape borrowed from six strings sounds its notes in an order nobody predicted, and the lowest pitch in a strum is very often not the root.

That one fact is why the site is narrow. A chord page here can assume a high G, name the note that actually ends up on top, and say when a low-G set changes the answer. What it cannot do is speak for instruments built on a different premise, and pointing at the site that can is a better answer than a thin section written for completeness.

Where to go instead

How the sites divide the work

Each family has exactly one home, and the border follows tuning and repertoire rather than the word on the headstock. The guitalele is a ukulele here — six strings, but tuned ADGCEA, a fourth above a guitar, and fingered out of ukulele shapes — while the bass VI belongs to Bass Warrior for the mirror-image reason. Anything that needs instruments compared side by side belongs to String Warrior, the only site that carries them all at once.

More sites are under construction. They are deliberately absent from the list above, and each joins it the day it opens.
