Chords in the key of E major on ukulele

The key of E major has seven diatonic chords: E, F#m F#m F#m F#m, G#m G#m G#m G#m, A, B, C#m C#m C#m C#m and D#°. As sevenths: Emaj7 Emaj7 Emaj7 Emaj7, F#m7 F#m7 F#m7 F#m7, G#m7 G#m7 G#m7 G#m7, Amaj7 Amaj7 Amaj7 Amaj7, B7 B7 B7 B7, C#m7 C#m7 C#m7 C#m7 and D#m7b5. They come from the E major scale, E, F#, G#, A, B, C# and D#, one on each note. On ukulele, the shapes below are the seventh chords of every degree, and the tonic one has D# in the bass.

On the ukulele, the high reentrant G makes every shape light — and with four strings, every note is exposed. Its soft nylon strings sound warm and mellow, light enough to float gently over a song.
