FAQ
How are ukulele strings numbered and tuned?
Standard Soprano, Concert, and Tenor ukuleles use re-entrant C-tuning (G4-C4-E4-A4). String 4 (G) is the top string closest to your chin, and String 1 (A) is the bottom string closest to the floor.
What are the 4 basic chords every ukulele beginner should learn first?
The four essential beginner chords that unlock thousands of popular songs are C Major, G Major, A Minor (Am), and F Major (the famous I–V–vi–IV pop progression).
How do you read a ukulele chord diagram box?
The top thick horizontal bar represents the nut. The four vertical lines represent strings from left to right (G, C, E, A). Numbered circles show which fret and finger to place, "O" represents an un-fretted open string, and "X" means muted/not played.
How is Baritone ukulele tuning different?
A Baritone ukulele is tuned to D3-G3-B3-E4 (identical to the top 4 strings of a standard acoustic guitar), using different chord fingering shapes.
