C/B on ukulele

C/B on ukulele — frets 9 11 8 10C/B82413EBCG
Frets: 9 11 8 10

On the ukulele, the high reentrant G makes every shape light — and with four strings, every note is exposed. In this C/B voicing the bass is B and the shape runs from fret 8 to 11. Its soft nylon strings sound warm and mellow, light enough to float gently over a song.

Notes in C/B: B – C – E – GFormula: 1 – 3 – 5 / 7

In 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: Descending bass lines in ballads and fingerpicked accompaniment.
