Tune your ukulele by plucking the string and turning the corresponding tuning peg until your tuner shows the string is in tune. The types of tuners shown here will clip to the headstock of your ukulele. They will light up green in the top center of the dial when the string is in tune. 5

6 Strumming Start out with a loose fist. Strum with the index finger of your right hand, fingernail side down. When out Strum down, you should be hitting the strings with your nail. When you're strumming up, with the fleshy tip of your finger. 6
