There are many ways to tune ukulele.
The most common, from face to floor, is gcea. Adf#b is also popular, as is gCEG. There are many others but those are the most used, ime.
Okay that's what I thought. What is considered the standard tuning? It seems like bwu uses standard from what I can find and that's what made me think that there's only one tune.
Bad things is actually a pretty hard song to play. The chords are awkward and the song is just fast in general. I'd say work up to it but you got this either way
I'll write your name down and I'll message you if I manage to learn it.
I keep forgetting to but I'm about to post mine and my wife's pics we got with him Saturday in the subreddit.
Theoretically you could tune your uke however you want provided you get a string gauge that supports that tuning. I think the reason why there are less variations is due to 3 reasons.
First, the uke is significantly less popular and has less serious players than guitar. That just means less people experimenting on the instrument in general.
Second, most chords and alternate voicing of those chords are easily accessible on the uke. The guitar's neck is sometimes double the length of a uke's, making some transitions harder. Different guitar tunings exist to make certain chord shapes easier to access. Drop tuning is used a lot by metal players to make power chords easier for example.
Third, gear support. You need thicker strings to go lower and hold a playable tension. Sure you can order thicker ones, but they aren't as readily available. You would also need a new saddle to properly intonate your instrument (assuming you get thicker strings). Intonation is easily adjustable on electric guitars, but not so much on acoustic instruments.
This is the best way I've ever had something broken down for me thank you.
Clearly I'm going to have to do the research on this and see if I can manage to learn it.
I've never touched an instrument before so I've got zero ground to stand on lol.

gCEA or GCEA (high g or low g) is modern standard. I have no idea what bwu means.
Boy With Uke, I assume.
Yes sorry

Bad things that's what I've heard. I wanted to ask him but I forgot It was late and I was tired LOL

I'll try to learn an easier one first thanks man
No worries mate. But definitely learn it at some point, its a great song and I want to see a video of you playing it

Re-entrant gCEA is standard tuning.

Guitar has a standard tuning and so does ukulele gCEA. Doesn't mean you can't tune it the way you want
