Unbelievable, the things I keep finding to help us on our way! I was trying to figure out what an A9 would be, and couldn't find it on my easy chart, nor on a site that I refer to, so I just typed in Ukulele and A9 and wallah, a plethora of chord sites came up. But. . . this one site, oh man! He has the chords to about 10 instruments and they are categorized as common, difficult, and beauty. Uh, the beauty ones are also difficult for the most part, but, they are definitely beautiful. I did try some! LOL Only some, then went back to common.
So here is the link and I will add this link to the side bar as well for future reference!!! Happy Strumming! Oh, and the reason I needed the A9 is that I was transposing a song from Dr Uke's site, and the changes brought up this A9. LOL. So, if you are ever in this predicament, go to this site and then after you choose your instrument, go back to the left of the page and you'll see letters. Choose the root letter, (he calls it the base note), and then a page comes up with ever chord lettering for that letter. Now choose the lettering that you want and a third page comes up with all the ways to make that one chord! If you just want a chord chart, he has that too, with common chords most used, but for outside the box ones you need to input the letter etc.
Here is the site: Brian's Huge Chord List Collection Happy Strumming!!!
A place where you can find all things Ukulele. Sites with songs and chords, Local Jams, Ukulele Product Sites, Festivals and Venues
What is a 30's Uke Girl up to these days??
- 30s Uke Girl
- I’m a lifelong musician, been writing songs since I was 16. And, they got better with time and practice. Everything gets better with practice! As a wise man once said, “Don’t practice till you get it right, practice till you can’t get it wrong!” I love teaching ukulele, and also teaching voice and of course, songwriting. A song is nothing more than a story, and if you sing it as if it were a play, then you are using your voice correctly. If you write it as if it were a play, you engage the listeners. And bonus, if you use an instrument as an extension of your feelings, you can make the song soar. I intend to use this blog for the promotion of my ukulele passion, to introduce performers, review instruments, luthiers, and give links to great UKE websites. I also will keep links to festivals, events, and clubs. My other passion is biographical content, and I’ll be adding many of those, especially about the early artists from the 20s 30s 40s. A lost treasure trove of talent. Hope you enjoy the varied content. It will be eclectic, like me!
thanks for the link...congrats on the new blog. When you get UAS (Ukulele Acquisition Syndrome), call me.
