Hi, I’m your ukulele teacher, Nicholas.
Learning the ukulele is exciting, but those first few chords can feel tricky. Don’t worry—I’ve got you covered!
As a teacher, I know how important it is to start with clear chord charts.
That’s why I’ve put together the best ukulele chord charts for beginners.
Even better, I often share easy chord alternatives. Instead of fighting the dreaded E chord, you can play E7 instead.
My students love this—it makes the first steps fun and stress-free.
If you’d like some lessons, or if you have any questions, feel free to get in touch.
I hope this article will help you!

It is very simple.
In the chord chart below, do you see the numbers in the dots? They tell you which finger to use on each string.
The thumb doesn't get a number — it stays free behind the neck to give support.
1: index finger
2: middle finger
3: ring finger
4: little finger
So if you see a "2" on the second fret of a string, that means: press that fret with your middle finger.
This simple system keeps your hand in the right position and makes changing chords much easier.
And there you have it! With these beginner-friendly chord charts, learning the ukulele just got easier.
No more guessing—just clear, simple chords that help you play faster!
I hope I’ve been helpful to you today. 😊
Keep strumming, keep having fun, and don’t stress about tricky chords—there’s always an easier way!
