How to play the A 9 chord on Taro-Patch Ukulele: fretboard diagrams, finger positions, the notes that build it, and alternate voicings up the neck.
The A 9 chord is an extended or altered dominant that stacks ninths, elevenths, thirteenths, or chromatic tensions over a dominant-seventh core. It is built from the notes A, B, C#, E, G. This page shows how to play A 9 on Taro-Patch Ukulele with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The G and A strings ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes fretted at fret 9 over a 3-fret stretch. The root is the A string itself. It sounds from G4 up to C#5.
Taro-Patch Ukulele is strung in four courses of two, so each stopped note here sounds as two — which is why the shape rings thicker than the same grip on a single-strung instrument.
Browse alternate voicings to find the one that sits best under your fingers, then compare it with the other chord types built on A or explore the same shape in nearby keys. The diagrams list the notes in each voicing so you can connect the shape to the theory behind it.
