Sounds, guitars, ukuleles, and more

A selection of sounds and information

Many of the resources here, including and especially chord charts / books, are designed for both left-handed and right-handed players who are playing either appropriately designed instruments or instruments which have been re-strung for the relevant hand. We are aware of some people who play right handed instruments upside-down and learn the chords that way but our charts do not cater for that. Tabs are also always presented upside-down with the high string at the top. This is supposed to represent a player holding the instrument and looking over at the strings. When we do that, the low string is at the top. When doing a hand stand, the world is always the right way up, not upside-down as in the movies. We do not provide tabs.


Some people seem to have the strange impression that ukuleles are not musical instruments but are merely children's toys. Nothing could be further from the truth. Guitar players might place a capo, or a strong finger, on the fifth fret of their guitar and play the four highest strings rather than all six. Congratulations! You are playing a ukulele.


Guitar and ukulele chord charts for left-handed players are presented vertically, nut at the top, highest string to the left, for ease of comprehension. Guitar and ukulele chord charts for right-handed players are presented vertically, nut at the top, highest string to the right, for the same reason. All of the resources which we have designed are the correct way up and the correct way around. Stealing and printing the chord chart graphics or the fingerboard maps? Why do that when you can download them in print quality A4 PDFs? Also why not bookmark the web page instead, or as well, then you will get any updates as and when they appear and all for the same price – sfa (free).
