Ukulele Chord Lookup
Look up any ukulele chord in standard GCEA tuning — real finger patterns on a four-string diagram.
About the ukulele chord lookup
A visual dictionary of ukulele chords in standard GCEA tuning. Pick any of the 12 root notes and 30 chord types and see the chord on a four-string diagram: numbered dots for each finger, barres drawn as pills, ○ for open strings, and the note each string sounds.
Many chords include alternative positions higher up the neck. Press Play to hear the chord string by string — with the re-entrant high-G string voiced correctly — and then strummed together. A left-handed mode mirrors every diagram.
Ukulele chord FAQs
What tuning do the diagrams use?
Standard ukulele tuning, GCEA (soprano, concert, and tenor with high G). The leftmost string in the diagram is the G string, closest to you when you hold the uke.
What is the "re-entrant" high-G string?
On most ukuleles the fourth string (G) is tuned an octave higher than you'd expect, so the strings don't go low-to-high in order. The audio here plays that high G, so what you hear matches a real ukulele.
What do the numbers on the dots mean?
Which finger of your fretting hand to use: 1 = index, 2 = middle, 3 = ring, 4 = pinky. A long pill across several strings is a barre — one finger pressing them all at once.
Are guitar chord shapes the same on ukulele?
No — the ukulele has four strings and a different tuning, so shapes are their own. (Fun fact: a uke shape matches the guitar's top four strings capoed at the 5th fret.) Use the guitar chord lookup for guitar shapes.
I play a left-handed ukulele — can I use the diagrams?
Yes. Turn on "Left-handed" above the diagram and the string order is flipped to match a ukulele strung for a left-handed player.
