Learn To Play Amazing Grace With ukulele chords

Even if you never played a ukulele before you today can play his first chords. It is a perfect tool to use when you sing your favorite songs. Let's take a look at the chords!

Here's the ukulele chord C:

C: 0 / 4 0 / 3 0 / 2 3 / 1

The number before the slash indicates which fret to press down. The number after the slash indicates which string to play.

3 / 1 Media such as press down the third fret on the first string. 0 / 2 means, play the second string without pressing down a fret.

We will need two strings to accompany this song. This is F major:

F: 2.4 0 / 3 1 / 2 0 / 1

The last chord to learn is G7:

G7: 0 / 4 2 / 3 1 / 2 2 / 1

Here are the lyrics of the first stanza:

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
Once was lost but now am found
He was blind but now I see

I will put the strings in parentheses immediately before the syllable where you play the chord. Let's take a look at the first line:

A-(C) mazing Grace, as (F) sweet the sound (C)

One way to play the ukulele chords is to strum the chord once every time you see a new line of the letter. This will create a peaceful background to the song.

Now is the time for you to play the rest of the song:

(C) that saved a wretch like (G7) I

I (C) once was lost, but (F) and in the morning (C) found

It was (C) blind, but (G7) now (C) see

In this version the chord are playing the song in the key of C assuming that you have tuned your ukulele in C. This means that the strings are tuned in the following colors:

First string: A
Second string: E
Third series: C
Fourth series: G

The first string is the string nearest your feet when you play your uke the ordinary way.

You can strum the strings with the left thumb. Left hand fingering I suggest the following:

C: 0 / 4 0 / 3 0 / 2 3 / 1 (ring finger)

F: 2 / 4 (middle finger) 0 / 3 1 / 2 (index) 0 / 1

G7: 0 / 4 2 / 3 (middle finger) 1 / 2 (index) 01.02 (ring finger)

If you want to sing the song in a higher tone that can carry the song to a whole step in the key of D. Here are the chords:

D: 04.02 02.03 02.02 0 / 1

G: 0 / 4 2 / 3 3 / 2 2 / 1

A7: 0 / 4 1 / 3 0 / 2 0 / 1

Now you only need to replace the C major chord the chords of D major in the following way:

Became C D
Became FG
Became A7 G7

As the hardest part is not having a chord but I suggest you switch between agricultural practice between the two strings while strumming by one stroke on each little by little until you can do it easily.
