How To Read Ukulele Chord Diagrams h3>
Chord diagrams are quite easy to understand. Imagine you are looking at a ukulele fretboard with the headstock at the top. The strings are illustrated as vertical lines (from left to right G C E A string) and the frets are the horizontal lines with numbers to signify each fret. h5>
All the different chord shapes are represented by dots on the strings. Each dot represents the placement of a finger onto a string. The numbers inside the dots relate to which particular finger is to be placed in that position: h5>
(1) Index Finger
(2) Middle Finger
(3) Ring Finger
(4) Pinky Finger
In the example on the left a G chord is shown. To play the G chord you place your 1st finger on the C string at the second fret, your 3rd finger on the E string at the third fret and your 2nd finger on the A string at the second fret. h5>
