My favorite is fingers in a G7 shape (213), but in the standard 2220 position. This is really good for a number of chord transitions, especially to A or A7.

You should do one of these for all the major chords.

That's a cool idea :).

@@OneMusicSchool I second this notion. Learning different voicings and shapes is helping me grow as a player and training my ear to hear subtle differences.

@darwinia8 3 жыл бұрын

SMP., that isn't actually needed, if you understand the concept Katie is conveying here: movable shapes. As long as all things are equal, ie all "parts"that make up the chord are reproduced (and this, of course, includes barring where notes were open) you can move that shape up the fretboard. Note also that you likely already know some of these movable chords; you just haven't realized that you're playing them. For example: a B chord is merely open A with a bar; B7 is A7 with a bar. Bm7 becomes Cm7 just by moving up one fret. If you closely examine an ukulele chord sheet, you'll notice these patterns. To reiterate, as long as you keep all things equal (as in a math equation) the chord shapes you know are movable. Good luck to you.

I do the double up way too. :) I like using the C shape to play other chords, including the D like you show here... just by barring the appropriate fret. Or the A or G shape to do this too :)

Playing those 7 D chord variations together, sounds like a song. Hear what you're say and playing, does helps find the voicing that's best (still finding mine:)) Super day Katie 🎶🌸🎤💡🎸🎨🎶😍

Thank you for your alternatives, it's like a whole song when you play them all together ) I use my 234 fingers in a row on D chord - it's easier to do the transitions to A, A7, Am, F, Dm, E and Em

I like the look and sound of your Uke. Is the Tenor the same as the Concert Uke? I have a Soprano that was given to me as a gift but my fingers are too big. I will be trying the new variations

@OneMusicSchool 3 жыл бұрын

Good question. The Tenor is usually bigger, has a longer fretboard, and has more space between the frets than a concert. If you're in the market for a new uke, perhaps try a tenor. If you have a friend that has a tenor, that would be a great way to see if it would be better for you than the soprano before you go out and buy one.
