I saw two ladies using a capo on a baritone ukulele and was wondering if anyone here has done that. I just cannot get the F chord and really any that require holding down more than one string with one finger. So of course, that's several chords. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

On baritone uke and on guitar, the F chord is not considered a "friendly chord" because it can't be played with any open strings, and songs played in that key (F, C, Bb chords) require some stretching of the fret hand, making the chord transitions between them cumbersome. To play a song in the key of F on guitar, I usually put a capo at the third fret and play the D, A (or A7) and G chord shapes. The capo shortens the length of the strings and raises the pitch of the chord shapes that you play. You can try the same with a banjo capo on your baritone uke, but I must warn you that frequent use of a capo on a baritone uke will wear out the wound strings rapidly because the frets are much harder than the strings, and clamping the strings against the frets with a capo will nick the metal windings and cause fret buzz.
