5 Hardest Ukulele Chords Made Easy: E, Em, D, D7, B7

These chords either use a different fingering or a muted note to simplify them.
It's important that you realize it's 100% OK to mute a note within a chord - it's not bad, it's not improper technique or a way to avoid the original chord. It's simply a different approach to play the chord.
Chords with muted notes can be found in all styles of music and are actually very common - all the top pros know about and use these... If fact in the 80's when I played guitar professionally one of my favorite chords was a G5: 3X003X (sometimes 3X0033), that could be found in countless popular songs.
This is not just for beginners! Experienced musicians can benefit from these chord forms - they can be used for chord melody, classical or solo arrangements. In fact, the ability to alter and reconfigure chords like this and create these simplified chords is essential to any serious player!

Thank You! That E is a thing of beauty. Timing is perfect need that for a song tomorrow. Love the slide to D from A WOW! Will try the Em to/from a G or G7. The D7 saves wrist twists. Nice B7. Bars can cause trouble. Off to practice. Great Stuff Thanks again.

This is awesome info, thanks 😊 is there an easier way to play B?

[@playukulelenow]

I'm glad you liked the video. The B can be played as a triad, (a three note chord) simply take out the repeated note and use the muting techniques you in this video to mute the string you won't be playing. I talk about this in depth in my Ukulele Chord Tricks: How to Simplify any Chord Book. With ANY major or minor chord the reapeted note can be taken out and mutted creating an easy to play, three note chord! Stay tuned, I'll have a video on triads soon.

@@playukulelenow thank you!

[@lennon1252]

I only found the D chord practical. For the B7 it makes no sense to use that finger to mute the string. If the finger is already on the string just press it down. It's harder to mute it. But thanks for the D. That works well with a G
