Cm(add9) on ukulele — frets 5 3 3 5Cm(add9)2113CEbGD
Frets: 5 3 3 5

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 Eb and the shape runs from fret 3 to 5. Its soft nylon strings sound warm and mellow, light enough to float gently over a song.

Notes on C: C – Eb – G – DFormula: 1 – b3 – 5 – 9

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: Ballads, soundtracks and arrangements with a more open minor color.
