Beautiful Chords on Ukulele with Simple Fingerpicking Pattern.

Correct. There was a mistake in the sheet music. It is always Bbsus2 and not Bsus2. I fixed the mistake :) Thanks for signing up CG. Enjoy the lessons.

I just joined so am starting at the beginning. Like what and how you teach, well done. Isn't a Bsus2 a I II V or B C# F#? What you have is beautiful and I play it in a progression that ends in an F no 1st string, but it's not a Bsus2 in anything I've seen. Pleas enlighten me.

It does. The notes that make up a C major chord are C E G. If you play 4th, 3rd, and 2nd string open, you are playing G C E plus the 1st string fret 7 is another E. Technically, this is a C/G meaning a C major chord with the G on the bass. I hope it makes sense.

Sorry about that first question,but this is what I meant to say,how does playing the 7 fret on the first string make that CMajor,the way I was taught that would be E,can you put me right

Let ring means that you should let the chords or notes ring out. The number in the brackets also means that that note should ring out. The bracket is something you only see when you write music with GuitarPro, and it's something we mainly see in tabs and not in music notation. The bracket note is tied to the one before (check the music notation), which means the duration of the first note is longer. Usually, we don't add the bracket, though (check on google "Tied notes). I use a small number to indicate a slide. You will pluck the fret 5 and slide to fret 7. I hope this helps.

Dear Marco, Thank you very much for this great tutoring. I am very new to music and have difficulty to read your music sheet. Could you explain what the following 3 things in the music sheet mean? I. Let ring II. number in bracket e.g., 11th measure starts with (1) 2 III. small number e.g, 13th measure ends with small 5 and big 7 . Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Done.

Also, slide from 5th fret to 7th fret on A string is missing in measures 13 & 29 on pdf

Hi Marco, any chance of correcting the Bbsus2 chord box on the pdf?

Have a lovely Christmas.

I was having trouble with the chords - but this advice helped immensely and I am getting closer :) Thank you for your help. Take care and happy holidays.

Hi Kurt. One thing you can do is to isolate the plucking move and the left-hand shape. For example, I would practice the exercise by playing the 1st and 4th string only. That should be quite simple to visualize as you have to focus on playing the two notes found at the top and bottom of the tab. Then, practice the chords by playing the 3rd and 2nd string only. This is a little bit more challenging as the plucking is done with the middle strings. By doing so, you can focus on practicing fewer strings. Then, put it together. Are you having trouble with the melodic section? Or just with the chords? Let me know.

I love these chords and have been trying since you posted this to play properly but my fingers just won't make these shapes without hitting other strings etc.. Do you have any tips for nailing these chords?
