Baritone ukulele chords

The baritone ukulele is the largest ukulele, tuned D G B E from the fourth string to the first: the same notes as the four highest strings of a guitar, a fourth lower than a standard ukulele. Here is every common chord on it, on all twelve roots, each with every shape that can be played, to hear and to play.

Guitar shapes, guitar names

Because it is tuned like the top of a guitar, a chord shape on a baritone ukulele has the same name as on guitar: the shape of a guitar's D chord on the top four strings is D here too. If you play guitar, you already know these chords.

On a standard ukulele, tuned G C E A, the same shapes have names a fourth higher: the shape that is G on a baritone is C on a standard ukulele. So a song read from ukulele chords sounds a fourth lower, or the chord names change to match.

First chords to learn: G, C, D, Em, Am, D7, G7, A. Tune with the baritone ukulele tuner.
