Free Form Chords

Free Form chords are those chords that do not fall into one of the other categories. They typically don't show up in chord dictionaries or software programs.

You can create these chords when you KNOW the notes of the ukulele fingerboard, KNOW how chords are constructed and KNOW the names of the notes the chord and the intervals that make up the chord.

These are the chords that we go Wow!, That's a cool chord, how did they do that?

Think of the Jazz Ukulele Master Benny Chong . He is a master of these chords.
