How to play from a fake book?

Q. Any tips would be nice. I play piano. I see different ways to play it too like( Med. Swing, Calypso,, etc..........) How do you play it in these ways? I've been classically trained for a long time. But how to make the transition to jazz?
I also noticed that the players don't use a lot of pedal on their songs.

A. Well, since you have the melody, I'm guessing you need to learn your left hand, right?
A good way to start is by striding your left hand.
Let's say the Chord symbol is CMaj7.
You'd start by playing C2 then play your guide tones (The 3rd and 7th note in the scale of your chord symbol) So C major would be E and B.
So you'd stride your hand back and forth from C, to EB. When the chord symbol changes, change your notes. FMaj7. You'd play F2 then AE
Also make sure to keep your guide tone range between C3, and G4.
Hope that helps a bit.

Original Question

What do pitch labels like E5 mean?
Q. I get the general idea and know a lot about music, but I don't know how the numbers line up. What is the highest note for each number? Like, is E5 higher than A5?
Ok, but how do the notes inbetween the C's fit in? Like where does it switch from 3 to 4? Is it C3 D3 E3 F3 G3 A3 B3 C4?
Ok I've got it now: of all the 3s C is the lowest and B is the highest, and the same for all the other octaves obviously.

A. It's more of a reference in regards to a piano keyboard. C3 is referred to as 'middle C' as it is in the middle of a piano and the numbers change in respect of the octave. So C4 would be one octave higher than C3 and C2, one lower. The same thing applies to all the notes in between!

Could also be a 5th of a chord depending on your source and how it is written, but not likely as it is usually reserved for 7ths, 9ths 11ths etc.

Original Question

ukulele chords for "Your Name" by Paul Balouche?
Q. Hey, I really like this worship song, and I want to learn how to play it on my ukulele, but I can't find the chords anywhere. If you could find a place where I can get the chords or figure them out that would be great, thanks!

A. I went to bing and searched: guitar chords for "Your Name" by Paul Blaouche
I teach ukulele at Bellarmine University. I also teach guitar, mandolin, dulcimer and banjo.
I have written ukulele method books that are published by Mel Bay and have been on the best selling music book list for years. I have also written 2 booklets for Lanikai Ukes that are given with each ukulele purchase. If you want one just email me at musiclou42@msn.com. Be sure to tell me if you want a soprano or baritone booklet.
Now if you are playing a baritone ukulele which is really the first 4 strings of the guitar you would play the song below just like it is written. But the baritone uke does not have the 5th and 6th bass strings. Play the chords using the same chord positions playing only 4 strings.
Now if you are playing the soprano ukulele, just play the exact CHORD NAMES of the chords written in the song. The chords of any songs are the exact same chords though they are played differently on the instrument. A C chord on the piano is the same notes of a C chord played on the guitar, mandolin, ukulele, banjo etc.
