Chord & FretC5 on ukulele
On the ukulele, the high reentrant G makes every shape light — and with four strings, every note is exposed. In this position the bass is C and the shape sits at fret 3, ringing 2 open strings. Its soft nylon strings sound warm and mellow, light enough to float gently over a song.
Notes on C: C – GFormula: 1 – 5In 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: Rock, riffs and textures where the third would get in the way of the low-end weight.
The shapes of C5 on ukulele don't end on this page — the whole neck holds dozens. In Chord & Fret, you hear every shape strummed string by string, in the instrument's own voice; open every variation on the neck, grouped by bass note; and change the tuning — the shape rewrites itself.
