![]() ![]() This can be a challenging chord to sound out, at least for those initially starting out and especially for those as yet unaccustomed to the concept of barring chords, double stops, or otherwise just playing more than one note with one individual finger and its adjoining fingertip. Here, you will be seeking to use the index finger to press down on both of the lowest strings left, the E string and the A string, respectively sounding out the remaining F and Bb to complete the cyclical rendering of this major triad, of ukulele chords Bb and Gm, the latter of which the relative minor of Bb major chord. ![]() Then you will want to use your middle finger, placing it on the 2nd fret of the string just below the top G string, the C string (third string), sounding out the major 3rd of the Bb triad, D.įinally you will want to use your index finger to barre, to press down more than one string simultaneously or to just play the barre chord. Typically you will want first to place your ring finger on the third fret of the highest string in terms of altitude, the top G string, sounding out the requisite Bb tonic. ![]() It may seem daunting at first, because it is and because it requires slightly more of us than those first open chords, but to let such a cartoonish foe best you would be foolish, when you are made of so much more. Without this shape, we would be hard pressed to play the ukulele chord – Bb, B, or A, and a plethora of other such chords. The foundational shape, if we’re having the Bb chord played, is considered foundational because it is so integral in understanding other chords too. However, dropping out at this point is disastrous, for once you have mastered this barre like shape, you are off to pastures far greener, where the fog of unknowing is lifted and so much is left open to you. This can and does often result in an aspiring musician dropping the hobby forever, or at least for a very long time, as frustrating as it can be. It’s confusing, hard to read, and no fun at all, and why are sharps and flats kind of the same thing but not really!? ![]() It’s not uncommon on either the guitar or the ukulele for a beginner to be plodding along merrily, playing their C’s and A’s and D’s and E’s, and then to be blown off filter when encountering those in between chords: the Bb’s, the Eb’s, the Db’s. ![]()
