Since I couldn’t find a really good ukulele chord chart, I decided to create my own. The basic idea was to collect moveable chord patterns, which could be used for any root note.
Here’s how it works: Black symbols represent the fingering for the chord shape. You need to know the notes on your fret board, because the triangles show the position of the root note of your chord.
Chord pattern variations are indicated by grey dots. Grey triangles show root notes that aren’t played, for example in 9th chords (which consist of 5 notes).
Examples: If you want to play a C-Major chord, you’ll have a look at the Major patterns. The first pattern offers an open 0-0-0-3 grip and a 12-12-12-15 grip. Note that the triangles have to be C notes, cause C is the root note of C Major. The next pattern yields 9-7-8-7 or 9-7-8-10 (the grey dot variant) and so on. D Major chords have the same shape, just two frets higher.
The chord shapes work for ADF#B and DGBE tunings, as well!
I added some useful chord grips for GCEA tuning that are not covered by the patterns (similar to tab format).
I hope you’ll find this chart as useful as I do. Have fun!
