I have a question about one of the chords of IZ's song, "White Sandy Beach" underneath the 5th picture on this site: http://www.ukulelestrummers.com/Mainsongbook/Ukesongbook.html When I watch his chords on YouTube at.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_YfyKahP-0&feature=related ....is the 5th chord he's playing an Fsus4? One more question....is it normal for our chord books and chord displays like that at http://www.sheep-entertainment.nl/ukulele/index.html to show a different fingering for the same chord, such as Fsus4? (They actually sound alike but the chord looks different.) Edit...the chord page I printed out from the Link above (The Strummer's Songbook) is very accurate but doesn't show the chord in question here (Fsus4) after the 4th chord he plays (F).

It's a C7 chord, I believe. Frets 3003, low to high.

It is not uncommon to see the same "Sounding" chord as a different pattern. Sometimes it is easier to change from chord X to chord pattern B than to go to the common form you first learn. Other times it is the same "Sound" but the intonation is slightly different. IE the chord is C but the different positions give it a slightly different emphasis when it is played. I know you are talking Uke, but as an example the common second fret A7 (open G), on a guitar compared to the common A7, 3rd fret with the 7th on the high string sounds an A7 but you get a slightly different "ring" from the (G) fretted high string.

That's right, it's a C7 on the 'script' too, but his chord shape is different and it sounds better. The C7 is just the 1st string 1st fret and is too plain sounding. The chord IZ plays is prettier, which is what theBlackman described is happening. It was a real eye opener to me to know that the chord shapes in my very comprehensive Hal Leonard 'Ukulele Chord Finder' book may be different from the shapes of the same chords I see in other chord books. Thanks for helping me. Edit....this might sound stupid but the chord...whatever it is....3rd fret - 1st and 4th string. I think that's a beautiful chord! Every now and then I run into something like that, a really extra-special chord. Last edited on Sat Mar 1st, 2008 06:38 am by ezmember |
