How to Turn a guitar into a ukulele (with a capo)

Person playing a guitar, focusing on the fretboard and finger positioning.

This is a short video describing where to place a capo on a standard tuned guitar to make it playable in the same positions and notes as a ukulele.

Basically, you place a capo on the 5th fret and only play the bottom four strings. It's difficult to avoid the top two strings, but if you can manage it you will be able to practice your ukulele songs even when the only thing around is a guitar (and a capo).

The main difference in the sound will be that the top string on the guitar will be an octave lower than the ukulele. Same note and same chords, but the ukulele has one high string on the top whereas the guitar always goes down from low strings to high.

Apple's iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 updates are packed with new features, and you can try them before almost everyone else. First, check Gadget Hacks' list of supported iPhone and iPad models, then follow the step-by-step guide to install the iOS/iPadOS 26 beta — no paid developer account required.
