uke_band_jazz They’re a lot, and by A Lot, I mean a lot of ukulele chord sites on-line for looking up and finding chords for the ukulele. Sites with free charts, I even offer a few of those myself. There's software for your computer and smart-phone applications. These are basically chord dictionaries, you look up the chord. Not the way to go in the long run. Charts, software and dictionaries don't really help you learn chords beyond a few basic chords.
If your goal is to expand your chord vocabulary and not have to look up chords anymore then – My book A Guide to Advanced Chords for Ukulele is your answer. A Guide to Advanced Chords for Ukulele presents a highly organized and efficient approach to the mysterious subject of advanced chords. Chord dictionaries are not the answer. Even chord theory does not offer any insight into unraveling the complexity of Ukulele chord voicings.
AGCUKE1-coverA companion book to A Guide to Advanced Chords for Ukulele is Exploring Jazz Chords on Ukulele . This book takes the chords covered in A Guide to Advanced Chords for Ukulele and shows one solution using the chord changes to songs commonly in a jazz musician's repertoire.
Beyond a few basic open position and movable form chords there's NO way you can memorize all the possible chords shapes. You wouldn't even want to try. Learning and knowing how chords are created, constructed and work is the way to go. You can checkout all my chord books on the ukulele chords page.
The to the chord sites below are here for reference only. I've visited all of the sites and I'm typically not impressed ( see above ). Their inclusion is the list is not an indication of their value or a recommendation from me. After reading above you should know my stance on chord charts, software, apps and the like. A chord chart of basic chords is only a start of building a solid chord foundation. It's from these basic chords you can build your chord vocabulary, knowing a few principles and tools of chord construction you can build any chord you will ever need.
Some points to remember when visiting and checking out these sites.
Chord dictionaries are not the answer. Even chord theory does not offer any insight into unraveling the complexity of chord voicings. Beyond a few core open position and movable form chords, there is no way to memorize all the possible chord shapes available on ukulele. Knowing how chords work and deriving new chords from these know chords is a lot more beneficial in the long run to enjoying and exploring ukulele.
Be leery of magic potions and too good to be true claims to learning chords. There is NO shortcut to doing the work . But with a solid foundation, a few core chords and a well organized plan, it's a goal any player can achieve - Just takes time and is well worth it.
I've had new guitar students say to me, “I know all the chords.”. Nobody can make that claim but can say, “I can create any chord I ever need.” That I would have a chance of believing.
Knowing the notes of chords and the ukulele fingerboard is the way to go for transposing known chords to additional keys and deriving new chords from known chords. There are just way too many chord ‘shapes’ to memorize as a way to building a massive chord vocabulary.
Web site chord finders, mobile phone apps, chord dictionaries, chord charts and watching other players for the chords just doesn't work when the song starts playing. You can't look up chords in the middle of a song. You need to know the chords are what substitutes are possible ahead of time. And, have the ability to switch between chords in performance tempo.
There's no magic or secret to knowing a lot of chords. It's a solid foundation with a lot of work. Now get to work!!!
There's no magic or secret to knowing a lot of chords. It's a solid foundation to build on and a lot of work. Now get to work!!!

Half the cost of the iMac and a real treat to use. I use it for ALL development work. Only wish the Affinity Suite of apps by serif where available on Linux (and I do know you can run them in Wine with a few hacks).
