I realized that there is no perfect chord chart because our needs change from day to day, year to year, and song to song. Meanwhile, my playing and my understanding of music improved.
I’m a bit of a nerd so I scoured the internet for data, studied a lot of music books that I’ve collected over the years as an amateur keyboardist and singer, and consulted a friend who is a pro musician. What are the most common chords? And why? Do I need the most common chords in all twelve keys? What are the most common keys for baritone uke songs? Why are some keys easier for baritone uke than others?
Third, and most important, I wanted the chords to be organized the way songs are organized, so I could easily see the group of related chords I needed to play a song. Second, I needed old-fashioned paper so I could have my chart at hand when no internet or cell signal is available, for example, around the campfire above 8,000 feet in a national forest. I got frustrated flipping back forth through the chord book in the middle of a song, or trying to scroll a website while playing my uke. So, what is the best beginner chord chart for baritone uke?įor me, first off, I wanted one page with the chords I’m going to need most often.
The quest for the perfect chord chart absorbed a considerable amount of my time in those first few months. And did I really need them? I wanted to start playing easy songs with beginner chords at first, so I could get started jamming right away! I needed something simpler.
But most of those chords were going to take time to master. When I started playing baritone ukulele, I bought a chord encyclopedia with everything in it.
