C6 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 0, ringing 4 open strings. Its soft nylon strings sound warm and mellow, light enough to float gently over a song.

Notes on C: C – E – G – AFormula: 1 – 3 – 5 – 6

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: Song tonic in choro and country; a warm, light ending.

This is just one shape of C6 on ukulele. In Chord & Fret, you check it note by note, playing any shape as an arpeggio; open every variation on the neck, grouped by bass note; and change the tuning — the shape rewrites itself. Start free. Unlock everything with Pro. 100% offline.
