A core set of basic chords that ALL Ukulele players, even lefties - should know in five common keys: C, G, D, A and E. With the common seventh chords in every key.
This chord chart is great for beginners and new members to ukulele clubs.
The downloaded chart is for Lefties. The lessons material and links to lessons here are for Right Handed plays. But, I've found that left-handed players pretty quickly adopt to right handed material and world at large.
You'll play chords more than anything else on the ukulele.
Understandably, this is one of the most popular and top lessons on the site. Chords are what we do the most on ukulele, as you can't know too many chords. But, eventually, there are far too many chord shapes to memorize all the possible chords. You need to learn a bit about how they are constructed and work to get beyond this basic chart.
Master the chords in the downloadable PDF file, and when you venture past the third fret, you'll see that it's not as foreign chord territory as you might have thought.
