Chord & FretC7(#5) on ukulele
On the ukulele, the high reentrant G makes every shape light — and with four strings, every note is exposed. In this C7(#5) voicing the bass is C and the shape sits at fret 1, ringing 2 open strings. Its soft nylon strings sound warm and mellow, light enough to float gently over a song.
