chart for alternate fingering of common chords?

[fretie]

Help me out here if you can...I'm boogled by the various chord charts...what I'm looking for is a chart or tutorial that shows alternate fingerings for common uke chords.

For example, at last night's uke meetup someone mentioned that Dm7 could be played as a barre chord...at the 4th fret maybe...and F could be played as a barre chord at the 5th fret...? This was mentioned rather quickly so I'm not sure I have that right. In any event I'd like to learn some basic alternatives so I have more choices when learning strum patterns for various songs.

Sounds like you introduced to some 2nd/3rd position chords.
These are also known as inversions.
There are several charts and books that show these.
One of my favorites is Roy Sakuma's book of chords.

An excellent source for alternate tunings is "Ukulele Breakthrough" (downloadable book) by Calvin Chin.
A free source is available at http://ukulelesafari.com/index.php?pid=11366

Yet another discussion is found at http://files.meetup.com/493577/Moveable Chords.pdf

What is important is the root note.
Good luck.
