C Major — Baritone Ukulele

Every way to grip C Major on DGBE strings — easiest first, with sound.

C Major chord diagram, starting at fret 1. Strings low to high: D 2nd fret, G open, B 1st fret, E open.

The C Major chord contains the notes C – E – G. On the Baritone Ukulele (tuned DGBE) each voicing below maps those tones onto 4 strings — the chart shows the frets, the suggested fingers, and which chord tone every string carries.

The Baritone Ukulele's linear DGBE tuning sits lower than a reentrant uke, so these grips carry more warmth and low end.

Start from the easiest grip, then try the alternatives up the neck until one sits under your hand. Tap a chart to hear the voicing before you commit to it.
