F♯maj7 ukulele chord

How to Play F♯maj7 on Ukulele

The easiest shape is 3524: G string 3rd fret · C string 5th fret · E string 2nd fret · A string 4th fret.

Strings left to right are G, C, E and A, as the ukulele faces you. Numbers are frets; 0 means play the string open. Every shape is worked out from the notes the chord must contain and checked against them before it is published.

Notes in F♯maj7

A ukulele has four strings, so a 4-note chord uses every string for a different note — there is nothing left to double. Because the G string is tuned high (reentrant tuning), the lowest note you hear is usually on the C or E string, not the G.

Songs and Keys That Use F♯maj7

F♯maj7 belongs to 2 major keys: C♯ major (as the IV chord) and F♯ major (as the I chord).

F♯maj7 on Other Instruments

• Guitar: see the F♯maj7 guitar chord — six strings, so the shapes are different, but the notes are the same.
• Baritone ukulele (DGBE): 3322. A baritone is tuned like the top four strings of a guitar, so guitar shapes carry over and standard-ukulele shapes do not. Tune one with the baritone ukulele tuner.
