What is a Chord?

A chord is a group of three or more different notes sounded together or almost together.

Chords can be grouped into four categories: Open Position Chords, Movable Form Chords, 4-Part Contemporary or “Jazz” Chords and Free Form Chords.

Basic Open Position Chords

Open position chords are the basic, first chords most ukulele players learn. These chords are played in the fret one, two and three area of the ukulele and include at least one open string in the chord.

Movable Form Chords

Movable chord forms are chords with no open strings. These chords are transposable by moving each note of the chord the same number of frets up and down the neck. Each movable form is based on a common open position chord.

Movable forms allow you to play chords not found in the open position.

From these movable chord forms variations and more advanced, aka “jazz” chords can be created and added to your chord vocabulary.
