Learning to play basic ukulele chords is quick, fun, and perfect for beginners. In under 10 minutes, you can master a few essential chords and start playing simple songs. Start by tuning your ukulele to standard tuning: G–C–E–A. Once tuned, begin with the C major chord—place your ring finger on the 3rd fret of the A string (bottom string). Strum all four strings. You've just played your first chord!
