I have Jumpin' Jim's "60"s Uke-In" book, which is for soprano/concert/tenor ukes. Since I play a Baritone Uke, I have to convert the chords to fit the DGBE tuning. In this book of Jumpin' Jims, there are chords for Cb9, C7b9, and D7b9, which I cannot find in any uke or guitar book ("b" means "flat"). Does anyone know what chords could I use instead of those mentioned and/or finger placement? The song was " The Girl from Ipanema" page 24,25,26,27 if anyone has the same book. Billie B.

Any guitar master book of chords should have them, but here are the ones from "Chords and Tunings for Fretted Instruments." Cb9: (a C9 moved down 1 fret) 4th string 1st fret 3rd & 2nd string 2nd fret (barre) 1st string not played alternate: 4th string 1st fret 3rd, 2nd and 1st string 2nd fret (barre) Up the neck: 4th & 2nd strings 7th fret (barre) 3rd string 8th fret 1st string 9th fret C7b9: 4th & 2nd string 2nd fret (barre) 3rd & 1st string 3rd fret D7b9: move the C7b9 up 2 frets Hope this helps.  Keep on pickin'Brad

Brad, I think those are fingerings for GCEA uke. Since the baritone uke is tuned a fourth down from GCEA, any chord you play on the bari uke is in a position that looks like the same shape a fourth UP on the GCEA uke. For example, if the music calls for a G chord, all you have to do to convert is this: fourth up from G is C Play the GCEA C shape on the baritone and you have a "G chord" on the baritone. You can do the same with your chords. If you have a GCEA chord book (like the one probably provided in the back of the Jim Beloff book) all you have to do is look for these GCEA chords in your GCEA chordbook: Cb9 (B9)--look for D#9 or Eb9 and play that shape on your baritone (8798) C7b9 -- look for F7b9 and play that shape on your baritone. D7b9 --look for the G7b9 and play that shape on your bari. Unfortunately, that particular song was arranged to be chord friendly for GCEA uke. It's not going to be a pretty sight trying to adapt those chords to bari. Unless you are playing with other musicians, or a singer who needs it in that key, I'd just transpose the song down a fourth...that means, play the shapes you see in the chord diagrams in Beloff's book. Just by playing those shaped on DGBE bari, you will have transposed down a fourth. My favorite GCEA uke chord book is Hal Leonard's Ukulele Chord Finder. Another cheater method for baritone is to get a comprehensive guitar chord book or similar resource online. Just ignore the E and A string. The DGBE strings are exactly the same as they would be on your bari uke. Of course, Howlin Hobbit sells a handy dandy bari chord booklet here: http://www.howlinhobbit.com/merch.php Last edited on Tue Jan 3rd, 2006 08:37 am by UkeForever |

UK said: "Brad, I think those are fingerings for GCEA uke." bbocjan30 said: " Since I play a Baritone Uke," My book, "Chords and Tunings for Fretted Instruments" says: "The baritone ukelele is tuned like the first four strings of the guitar, and so the first four strings of the chord diagrams in this section may be used without transposition." I gave these fingerings based on a standard DGBE guitar tuning. Keep on pickin'Brad
