Ukulele
Chords, scales, keys and strumming patterns on ukulele. The chords cover all 12 roots in five types (major, minor, 7, m7 and maj7), each with shapes, fingerings and audio. The scales and the chords of all 24 keys show the shapes on the neck; the strumming patterns play in the browser.
On the ukulele, the high reentrant G makes every shape light — and with four strings, every note is exposed.
Pick a chord to start: every page has shapes, fingerings, a scale map and audio.
