Really? One of the secrets of the uke community I had yet to learn, I guess- still being a newbie & all. I use that chord in 3 of the songs I've written. Does that mean I'm a rebel? lol

I don't think i have ever played the chord... unless i had my ukulele there and i just strum my stings so hard and loud haha

quite fun (=

Am7 is my favorite chord but i don't play it open stringed. i play it 2433.

I use both versions, sometimes in the same song. The 2433 version is another example of a chord that really benefits from being able to grab two strings with one finger.

yodiepants · Jul 28, 2008

puremarkska · Sep 13, 2008

The song "Know That" by Next Generation (... "Did you know that girl...")

Just that open chord (Am7), then bar fret two (Bm7) ... for pretty much the whole song, I think.
