Congratulations on your new ukulele sticker!
Learning to play an instrument can be tough, but we strive to make it easier for you. Let’s take a look at the components of the chords chart and break it down:
Ukulele Tuning
The standard tuning is (G C E A) mostly used in soprano, concert, and tenor uke sizes.
Chord Name Represents the note you are playing. A chord is a combination of 3 or more notes. The chord on the left reads as “F minor seventh”.
Chord Diagram Represents the 4 strings in your instruments and the first 4 frets. Picture the ukulele in front of you and you are looking at the fretboard with the headstock at the top. The strings are illustrated as vertical lines (from left to right G C E A string) and the frets are the horizontal lines.
Chord Shape
This ilustrates how you place your fingers on the fretboard. 1 is your index, 2 is your middle, 3 your ring and 4 your pinky.
Circle of Fifths
Is the relationship among the 12 tones (or pitches) of the chromatic scale, their corresponding key signatures, and the associated major and minor keys.
Most popular songs are composed using the same magic formula. They are arranged in a three chord combination that make the base.
Step 1: Figure out the key of the song, 90% of the times is the first note or chord played in the song. The tonic.
Step 2: Locate the key in the circle of fifths and mentally lock in the notes adjacent to your key note. These are the subdominant, dominant and their three relative minors.
Step 3: Use these notes you have locked into, and try to figure out the chord progression order of the song you are learning. You can also combine them in new order to make your own song.
