Examples

We have looked at the Major chord because its one of the most common. Here we're going to look at what the mappings look like for the 7th and some other chords. So we can get a look at the bigger picture of how these shapes interact.

Diagrams for all Chords are available in the Downloads page.

The 7th

The 7th Chord has fewer variants than the Major and is probably the one I should have used as the primary example. Also the shapes do not overlap going down the fretboard. It is in many ways simpler to examine.

Hopefully by looking at the 7th, and trying some of the shapes out with your own Ukulele, you can start to see what I'm getting at.

Diminished 7th

Here is the Diminished 7th. By far the easiest one to remember as the same finger shape is used everywhere - but you still need to know which finger is the root on which string.

The diagrams are useful to see all the finger pattern information presented for a chord. But we still need one more piece of information to make it easy to remember all of them, and that's about the Neck and the Strings. So lets move onto Chord Signatures and see a very compact representation of the Chord and the additional information about the neck. (Chord Signatures)
