the first twelve chords · standard tuning G C E A
Built as a memo rather than a table: the thing worth hanging it up for reads across the room, with the full reference in smaller type below it.
Three sizes in one archive — from a sheet on the fridge to a poster on the wall.
○ marks an open string, numbers are left-hand fingers. The thick top line is the nut.
The ukulele tuning G C E A is exactly the guitar’s four thin strings held down at the fifth fret.
So any guitar shape works here too, it simply gets a new name: a guitar D shape sounds as G on a ukulele.
Anyone who plays guitar learns the ukulele in an evening — not from scratch, but by renaming what they know.
Why the numbers can be trusted. Every countable number here is computed from data rather than typed in, and the sheet must pass 3 independent checks before it is allowed to build — how many items there are, the order they come in, and the claim in the highlighted box itself. If one fails, there is no file.
