- The four vertical lines are the strings: G, C, E and A from left to right (as you look at the ukulele facing you).
- Horizontal lines are frets; the thick line at the top is the nut.
- A dot shows where to press; a number beside it may show which finger to use.
- An “0” above a string means play it open.
- Shapes are often written as four numbers — for example C = 0003 means G, C and E open and the A string at the 3rd fret.

Numbers are the fret for each string from G (left) to A (right); 0 means open. Some chords have several common shapes — E, for example, is often played 1402 instead of 4442.
Your first four chords
Start with C (0003), Am (2000), F (2010) and G (0232). With just these four you can play hundreds of pop songs, because the progression C–G–Am–F turns up again and again. Practise switching between two chords at a time — C to Am, Am to F, F to G — until each change takes less than a beat, then play all four in a loop with a simple down-down-up-up-down-up strum.
Common chord progressions
| Key | I–V–vi–IV (pop) | I–vi–IV–V (doo-wop) | I–IV–V7 (blues and folk) |
|---|---|---|---|
| C | C – G – Am – F | C – Am – F – G | C – F – G7 |
| G | G – D – Em – C | G – Em – C – D | G – C – D7 |
| F | F – C – Dm – B♭ | F – Dm – B♭ – C | F – B♭ – C7 |
| D | D – A – Bm – G | D – Bm – G – A | D – G – A7 |
| A | A – E – F♯m – D | A – F♯m – D – E | A – D – E7 |
Tuning your ukulele
Standard (C6) tuning from the top string is G4–C4–E4–A4, often remembered as “My Dog Has Fleas”. The G string is usually tuned higher than the C string (re-entrant tuning), which gives the ukulele its bright sound; some players use a low G for a fuller bass. Baritone ukuleles are tuned DGBE like the top four strings of a guitar, so the chord shapes in this pack sound different on them.
