A Major Chord on Taro-Patch Ukulele
How to play the A Major chord on Taro-Patch Ukulele: fretboard diagrams, finger positions, the notes that build it, and alternate voicings up the neck.
The A Major chord is a bright, stable major triad — one of the first chords most players learn. It is built from the notes A, C#, E. This page shows how to play A Major on Taro-Patch Ukulele with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The E and A strings ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes fretted at fret 1 over a 2-fret stretch. A falls on the G string. It sounds from C#4 up to A4.
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.
