I have mentioned before that I've played guitar for a long time, but only recently began playing the ukulele. One of the things I really struggled with when first learning the uke is trying to find a bar chord, or an easier way to play a chord that I could just hop to instead of looking up the actual chord.
That didn't make sense.
For example, on the guitar, I'm confident there is a chord for C minor, or C# that is not a bar chord. However, I've never learned it. I play the bar chord when I come across a song that requests those. Or B, same story.
This could be my own personal problem, but I've learned to accept who I am.
Transitioning to the uke met certain challenges because I couldn't figure out what the bar chord shortcut was. Guess what folks, it exists!
Play an F. Then move up. That's all. Play an A, then move up. Play a D and move up (or down).
Just remember FAD, which is what the current ukulele crowd denies they are (including myself).
