There are a lot of sites for finding chords for the ukulele. Sites with free charts. I even offer FREE charts. Software for your computer or iPhone. These are basically chord dictionaries. You look up the chord. Looking up chords might help when learning a few chords - BUT, there are just way too many possible chords shapes to memorize.

If your goal is to expand your chord vocabulary and NOT have to look up chords anymore. My book A Guide to Advanced Chords for Ukulele is your answer.

A Guide to Advanced Chords for Ukulele presents a highly organized and efficient approach to the mysterious subject of chords. Chord dictionaries are not the answer. Even chord theory does not offer any insight into unraveling the complexity of chord voicings.

If your goal is to e x p a n d your chord vocabulary, A Guide to Advanced Chords for Ukulele is your answer.

Beyond the basic open position and a few basic movable form chords this is the way to go. You can checkout all my chord books on the ukulele chords page.
