This may be confusing, maybe not, but what is you favorite chord to end a song? I don't know a ton of chords, but ending on a C sounds perfect in most cases. So what is your favorite chord to end a song on?
Yes, one of my faves for the key of F ending - I slide 0011 1122 2233.Of course, it depends on the key. C is a nice ending chord for songs in the key of C but not necessarily for songs in other keys. And it's the nature of chord progressions for a chord to be set up by the chords that precede it. With those qualifications, I like one chord we use sometimes in one of my Hawaiian music classes for meles in the key of F -- F6/9 (2233).
Yes, "C Tuning" refers to the standard GCEA tuning of the strings. But songs can be in any key, and you may transpose songs from one key to another to suit your vocal range. As you play more you will find out. Generally, if the song you are playing starts and ends with the same chord, the song will be in that key.Is the key of C just tuning it to the C setting on the tuner? I thought all ukuleles are supposed to be in C. I have a lot to learn I guess.

When referring to the a song in the key of C, you are talking about the song itself, not the instruent which isplaying it. A standard ue is tuned to C, but they can also be tuned to B flat or up to D, uually to suit your vocal range of harmonize better with other instruments.
Every song will have key signature if you look at the sheet music. The number of sharps or flats in the key signature deteremines what key the song is in.....C=no sharps (#) or flats (b), G= 1#, D=2#, F=1b, Bb=2b. A general rule of thumb is most songs usually start with the chord for the key of the song. So if a song start with g chord, it's likely in the key of G.
Yeah....it gets complicated, but it will become second natue the more you play.
I think the coolest chord I've ended a song with is Db7#9 (6577), also (4414). I used these chords extensively in my version of "Black Coffee". I later learned that some people call this chord the Hendrix chord, or sometimes the "Purple Haze" chord, for fairly obvious reasons. Here's a link to my rendition:
