Chord and FretCm(add9) on ukulele
On the ukulele, the high reentrant G makes every shape light — and with four strings, every note is exposed. In this Cm(add9) voicing the bass is Eb and the shape runs from fret 3 to 5. Its soft nylon strings sound warm and mellow, light enough to float gently over a song.
