Ukulele Chord Chart: Ukulele Chart

This chart consolidates everything a ukulele student needs into a single, portable reference. Rather than hunting through multiple resources or memorizing voicings, players can see major, minor, seventh, diminished, augmented, sixth, and ninth chords all in one place with clear fingerings and fret positions. The inclusion of a chord accompaniment guide that maps primary chords, relative minors, and substitutions for each key transforms this from a simple lookup tool into a genuine compositional and improvisation resource.

This is the reference your students will actually keep close to their instrument instead of buried in a pile of papers. Clear, organized, and practical, it removes the guesswork from chord shapes and lets players focus on rhythm, timing, and the joy of playing together.

Beginning and intermediate ukulele students who need a reliable, comprehensive reference for chord voicings across all keys. Teachers use this as a handout to support chord-based instruction and give students a tool they can return to independently when learning new songs or exploring different harmonic options.

• Use the chord frames as a daily reference during warm-ups to build muscle memory for quick chord changes across different keys
• Cross-reference the chord accompaniment guide when learning new songs to understand the harmonic relationships and explore substitution options that fit the original key
• Keep this chart visible during jam sessions or ensemble rehearsals so you can quickly identify alternate voicings when the original chord isn't sitting comfortably under your fingers
• Study the fingering notations carefully before moving to a new chord; consistent hand positioning across similar shapes will speed up your transition time

Post this chart in your studio or rehearsal space as a permanent learning resource, or print it for each student in your ukulele ensemble so everyone has consistent fingering references. Assign specific chord families to practice each week and use the accompaniment guide to help students understand why certain chords work together, strengthening their harmonic literacy alongside their technique.

• Reading and interpreting chord frame diagrams
• Identifying and fingering major, minor, seventh, diminished, augmented, sixth, and ninth chord voicings
• Understanding chord relationships within keys and recognizing primary, secondary, and substitute chords
• Visualizing fret positions and finger placement across the ukulele neck
• Applying chord knowledge to learn and play songs independently
