Baritone Ukulele Chord Fun

If you have access to baritone ukulele chord charts, and you already know how to play the guitar, you can easily expand your repertoire of musical instruments by taking that same knowledge and applying it to the baritone uke. The four string ukulele can also be tuned and played like an old-time four-string guitar. You just tune the baritone ukulele to the DGBE arrangement and have a go at some of the songs you like to play on the guitar.

The Sound

The baritone ukulele has the lowest and fullest sounds of all the different types of ukuleles: soprano, tenor, and concert ukuleles. So, don't be afraid that it will sound too much like a soprano ukulele. Still, you get a different sound than a guitar, so it can be fun to experiment with the different songs you like by playing them on both the guitar and the ukulele to hear the difference.

Use the Guitar Music Sheets

Some people even use guitar music sheets instead of ukulele chord charts. They are different, but if you memorize the chords on the ukulele you can still play off the guitar music sheets. Otherwise, you can try to locate ukulele chord music sheets for your songs and use those, if it really makes a difference to you. Best of all, you can shop for ukulele chord music online!
