Frequently Asked Questions

What are the easiest ukulele chords for beginners?

Start with C, Am, F, and G. These four chords require only 1-2 fingers each and let you play hundreds of songs. The C chord uses just one finger on the third fret of the bottom string.

How do I tune a ukulele?

Standard ukulele tuning is GCEA (also called high-G tuning). The G string is tuned to a higher pitch than the C string. Use an electronic tuner or the built-in ukulele tuner on ChordLookup for accurate tuning.

What chords can I play with just 3 fingers on ukulele?

With 3 fingers you can play C, Am, F, G, G7, Em, Dm, A7, and C7. These cover most beginner and intermediate songs. Practice switching between C, Am, F, and G first — this progression alone unlocks hundreds of songs.
