But then I realized that I did not have to think of the uke as a guitar. It has it's own strengths and weaknesses which make it unique and enjoyable. Some of those chords you spelled out sound great but completely different from the guitar versions. I like the idea of determining whether or not the bass note is in the chord. After reading this I realized that E/G# and G/B were just major triads with that special effect of the 3rd in the bass. I guess I knew that but now I really see it. Hmm my post reminds me of an argument I overheard the other day over whether baritone uke chords were guitar chords played on the bari. Of course they are not guitar chords they are played on the baritone uke man. They are baritone uke chords. And this one goes to 11 mate.
