E add9 — Bass Ukulele

Every way to grip E add9 on EADG strings — easiest first, with sound.

E add9 chord diagram, starting at fret 1. Strings low to high: E open, A 9th fret, D 6th fret, G 9th fret.

The E add9 chord contains the notes E – F# – G# – B. 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.
