C 9 — Bass Ukulele

Every way to grip C 9 on EADG strings — easiest first, with sound.

C 9 chord diagram, starting at fret 1. Strings low to high: E open, A 3rd fret, D open, G 3rd fret.

The C 9 chord contains the notes C – D – E – G – A#. On the Bass Ukulele (tuned EADG) 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 Bass Ukulele's linear EADG 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.
