Just started learning chords on the Ukulele and was wondering why chords are always shown using the same fingers when it is faster to change chords by modifying the fingering?
For example switching from Em to C to G is smother if use middle finger for the C chord instead of ring finger. Leading to a smoother transition for both changes.
Or when going from D to C to D. Using pinky for the C chord means leaving the other fingers in position for the D.
I am very new to ukulele, but have been playing violin for years and so more familiar with the ideal of less movements means easier to stay in tune. Which is not a concern with frets, but old habits die hard!
