| Nov 27, 2019 at 3:13 | comment | added | NickGrooves | @user45266 You're talking about an octave + m2 (aka m9) interval. This would span frets 2 (D), 3,4,5, 6 (Eb) and is totally reachable but not quite what you said. If you want a true minor second (half step) play D on the E string (10th fret) spanning frets 6 (Eb), 7,8,9, 10 (D). Or an even better way, play one of them on the octave-up G string: you can play Eb @ A string, fret 6 with D @ G string, fret 7. | |
| Nov 27, 2019 at 3:07 | comment | added | NickGrooves | @user45266 Something isn't adding up here ... There's only one D that can't be played anywhere else and that's the second fret of the C string ... but the Eb on your A string is more than a minor second away (which would equate to the third fret of the C string). | |
| Nov 27, 2019 at 2:38 | comment | added | NickGrooves | @user45266 While I understand your comment about the D above middle C, other players may not (especially if they don't read music, which many guitar and uke players don't) and besides the term "middle C" is somewhat relative for transposing instruments. Guitar, for example, is technically treble clef down one octave so "middle C" is not actually middle C ... if you follow my meaning. | |
| Nov 25, 2019 at 19:16 | comment | added | user45266 | Fair, and I've edited to address tuning, but AFAIK C Standard (aka C6) and D standard (D6) are the two common tunings, and both only have one place to play the D4. Unless you're talking about low G tunings... | |

| Nov 25, 2019 at 12:34 | comment | added | Dekkadeci | @user45266 - But isn't there more than one often-used tuning for a ukulele? | |
| Nov 25, 2019 at 7:23 | comment | added | user45266 | @NickGrooves Actually, there's only one place to play the D above middle C on the ukulele fretboard, and therefore only one reasonable place to play the E♭. That's why I picked that example. D on the C string, E♭on the A string. | |
| Nov 25, 2019 at 1:22 | comment | added | NickGrooves | Since the same pitch can be played in more than one spot, I would use specific fret/string (TAB) instead of the pitch names. | |
