Chord and FretCdim on ukulele
On the ukulele, the high reentrant G makes every shape light — and with four strings, every note is exposed. In this Cdim voicing the bass is Eb and the shape runs from fret 2 to 5. Its soft nylon strings sound warm and mellow, light enough to float gently over a song.
Notes in Cdim: C – Eb – GbFormula: 1 – b3 – b5In the formula, the numbers count steps of the major scale starting from the note that names the chord; "b" lowers a half step, "#" raises one — and a slash names the bass note.
Where to use it: A passing chord between two neighbours, and the seventh degree of major keys. It is almost never the arrival point — it exists to push the music to the next chord.
