My favorite is fingers in a G7 shape (213), but in the standard 2220 position. This is really good for a number of chord transitions, especially to A or A7.
Thank you for your alternatives, it's like a whole song when you play them all together ) I use my 234 fingers in a row on D chord - it's easier to do the transitions to A, A7, Am, F, Dm, E and Em
I do the double up way too. :) I like using the C shape to play other chords, including the D like you show here... just by barring the appropriate fret. Or the A or G shape to do this too :)
@@OneMusicSchool I second this notion. Learning different voicings and shapes is helping me grow as a player and training my ear to hear subtle differences.
SMP., that isn't actually needed, if you understand the concept Katie is conveying here: movable shapes. As long as all things are equal, ie all "parts"that make up the chord are reproduced (and this, of course, includes barring where notes were open) you can move that shape up the fretboard. Note also that you likely already know some of these movable chords; you just haven't realized that you're playing them. For example: a B chord is merely open A with a bar; B7 is A7 with a bar. Bm7 becomes Cm7 just by moving up one fret. If you closely examine an ukulele chord sheet, you'll notice these patterns. To reiterate, as long as you keep all things equal (as in a math equation) the chord shapes you know are movable. Good luck to you.
Playing those 7 D chord variations together, sounds like a song. Hear what you're say and playing, does helps find the voicing that's best (still finding mine:)) Super day Katie 🎶🌸🎤💡🎸🎨🎶😍
Thank you, Katie ! I remember the Oceans tutorial, you arranged D chord variations, I love it, I just sent your email, I would like to become your Patreon! Have a nice weekend!
I like the look and sound of your Uke. Is the Tenor the same as the Concert Uke? I have a Soprano that was given to me as a gift but my fingers are too big. I will be trying the new variations
Good question. The Tenor is usually bigger, has a longer fretboard, and has more space between the frets than a concert. If you're in the market for a new uke, perhaps try a tenor. If you have a friend that has a tenor, that would be a great way to see if it would be better for you than the soprano before you go out and buy one.
I had to break out the tenor for this video. :-) I've been mostly playing the baritone lately. Of course, this is also useful for the A chord on the baritone...

This is save me from ignoring D chord. I'm really thankful to you. I want to buy a new ukulele because of this, but now i can stay with my old. :)
So happy that this helped!
This was helpful! I’ve found an ok way but this made it sound a lot better!
Yeah! So happy that this helped!

Glad you found a version that works for you, and thanks for sharing your thoughts about what works best for you. Thanks for watching :).
I do the double up way too. :)

Good stuff!
You should do one of these for all the major chords.
That's a cool idea :).

It is very hard for me to do the D cord, so thank you.😌😌😌 Much needed.
I use my thumb on the top of the neck to do it :)

Have a super say as well!
It was very cool to see you do different shapes but hear the same chord.
Thank you so much katie for your videos after watching your videos now I wanted to buy a ukulele.
YEAH!!!
The variation of D chord is interesting.Thanks so much!😘😘🍫
Glad you like it!
@@OneMusicSchoolYessss!
Yes u are right it's pretty fun 3:51
YEAH!
Very helpful..thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I'm gonna go for mashing the second fret, on the basis of shovel fingers. 😄
Yeah!!! I’m so glad that this helped😀.

@@OneMusicSchool Thank you so much I'll have to wait on that but I think I'll be adding that Uke to my "Wish List" for the Holidays.
Could you also do C,F and G ? Thanks
That's a cool idea :)
@@OneMusicSchool 😊

Rock on!
" I'm not buying another uke." Never said those words in that order before. Why start now? Health and happiness to you and yours.
HAHAHAHA!!!
Hi.....can you show how to play (you were mine by Dixie Chicks)😊💖
Oh man! I haven't thought about the Dixie Chicks in a while :). Thanks for the suggestion.
You should learn the song may you really be blessed x2 as you fellowship here in our midst in the name of lord
Can u have a uke and guitar tutorial of safe and sound by Taylor swift? That song is really beautiful
I LOVE that song!

You are ultra-swell and my hand doesn’t want to do those things at all. All I want for Christmas is more movable fingers.
As long as you find the one that works for you, that’s all that matters 😀.
Hi I'm Zippora N Marak 😀
DO YOU REMEMBER ME??
Okay, now there are seven ways in which I can fail that chord! Imma just skip every song that has a D chord... 💩
Use your thumb! Fixed it for me instantly
