Three voicings of the C major chord on a high G ukulele. The standard voicing (3-0-0-0) is likely the first chord you ever learned. The second (2-2-3-5) is useful when C appears next to Bb or another chord with a similar shape. The third (7-8-0-0) is a less common voicing with a brighter sound.

Ukulele Chord Quiz v2.0 is out. The main new feature is Ear Training, a third quiz mode where you listen to a chord and identify it by selecting the correct diagram. Training your ear is one of the most valuable things you can do as a musician, and now you can work on it in short sessions wherever you are. Can you identify which of the 4 diagrams is correct?

L'amour est bleu (Love Is Blue) was composed by André Popp in 1967 and recorded by many artists, but it's Paul Mauriat's lush orchestral instrumental that most people know. His version reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making him the first French lead artist to top that chart.

This arrangement for low G ukulele was created by Yujiro from . It also works beautifully with re-entrant (high G) tuning, so no need to restring if you haven't gone low G yet. A lovely tune either way.
