Chords in the key of G minor on ukulele

The key of G minor has seven diatonic chords: GmGmGmGm, A°, Bb, CmCmCmCm, DmDmDmDm, Eb and F. As sevenths: Gm7Gm7Gm7Gm7, Am7b5, Bbmaj7Bbmaj7Bbmaj7Bbmaj7, Cm7Cm7Cm7Cm7, Dm7Dm7Dm7Dm7, Ebmaj7Ebmaj7Ebmaj7Ebmaj7 and F7F7F7F7. They come from the G natural minor scale, G, A, Bb, C, D, Eb and F, 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.
