Chord & FretC/A on ukulele
On the ukulele, the high reentrant G makes every shape light — and with four strings, every note is exposed. In this C/A voicing the bass is A and the shape runs from fret 8 to 10. Its soft nylon strings sound warm and mellow, light enough to float gently over a song.
Notes in C/A: A – C – E – GFormula: 1 – 3 – 5 / 13In the formula, the numbers count steps of the major scale starting from the note that names the chord; "b" lowers a half step, "#" raises one — and a slash names the bass note.
Where to use it: The crossing between a major key and its relative minor, and descending bass lines generally.
