BASIC CHORDS

HOW TO READ A CHORD DIAGRAM ?

A chord diagram consists of 4-6 horizontal lines (it can vary depending on the position of the notes needed to play the chord on

the fretboard) and 4 vertical lines.

Vertical lines represent the four strings of the ukulele (From left to right : G-string, C-string, E-string, A-string), and horizontal

lines are the frets. Top line is the nut (fret #0), exept if there's a number on the right side of the diagram .

The dots show where to put your fingers to play the chord, each dot corresponds to a note. Sometimes, numbers also indicate

which fingers to use (on ukulele-chords.com, it's written below the diagram) : 1 (index), 2 (medium finger), 3 (ring finger) and

4 (little finger).

OtherOther symbols can also be found just below the chord name : a circle ("O") for a string played left open, and a cross ("X") when

a string should not be played.
