New to ukulele and want to learn some chords? Here is a FREE pdf for you to print or keep handy. (Just click the image below to download the PDF) These are some of the most common ukulele chords. Many are easy, some are tricky. But you're likely to come across all of them in the songs you want to learn, and the best way to master these chords is by starting to practice them.
 
Chord learning tip:
For trickier chords like G, B minor (Bm), F minor (Fm), and E minor (Em), don't expect yourself to be able to “get them” right away. These are weird shapes that our fingers aren't used to making. It takes consistent practice to train our finger muscles to form and stay in these shapes. Be patient with yourself and if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. And again, day after day! Eventually your finger muscles will strengthen and these tricky chords will become easy. But you gotta put the work in!
