Frequently asked questions
How do I read a ukulele chord diagram?
The four vertical lines are the strings (g, C, E, A in standard tuning) and the horizontal lines are the frets. Filled dots show where to place your fingers, an open circle means the string rings open, and a side number indicates the starting fret for shapes played up the neck.
Which ukulele chords should I learn first?
Start with the open triads: C, F, G, A minor, D minor and E minor. These four or five shapes let you play thousands of songs. Add seventh chords and sus or add9 voicings as you progress.
What does the number next to a chord mean?
It's the fret the diagram starts on. When a chord is played higher up the neck, often as a barre chord, the diagram shows just a few frets and the number tells you which fret is at the top.
Does this chart work for my tuning?
Yes. The chart defaults to standard gCEA (soprano, concert, tenor) tuning, but you can switch to baritone (DGBE) or other tunings using the selector above the chart, and every shape is recalculated.
Can I use this chord chart left-handed?
Yes. Turn on the left-handed setting above the chart and every diagram mirrors for a left-handed player. The preference applies across the whole site.
