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
Standard tuning for soprano, concert, and tenor ukeleles is G C E A (4th string to 1st string) .
Chord Name
Identifies the chord harmony being played. A chord is a combination of 3 or more notes. Fm7 stands for "F minor seventh.”
Chord Diagram Represents the fretboard as if holding your ukulele vertically. Vertical lines are the 4 strings (left to right: G, C, E, A). Horizontal lines represent the frets.
Chord Shape
Shows finger placement on the fretboard. The numbers tell you which finger to use: 1 = Index, 2 = Middle, 3 = Ring, 4 = Pinky.
Circle of Fifths
Visualizes the relationships among the 12 chromatic pitches, their key signatures, and corresponding 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.
