For beginners on a soprano ukulele, common chords like C, G, Am, and F are great to start with. Their shapes are typically easier on the smaller fretboard. When comparing to a concert or tenor, the chord shapes may feel a bit cramped, but you’ll get used to it! To transition smoothly, practice switching between chords slowly, and make sure your fingers press firmly on the strings to avoid buzzing. Check out Ukulele-Tabs for more song ideas to practice!
