For today's 2 chord, Gm7, we'll be using a Bb triad based on an open A triad. This puts our b3(Bb) on strings 4 & 1, our 5(D) on string 3, & our b7(F) on string 2. Remember, context is everything. In a vacuum, this is just a Bb chord, but in context it can work as a Gm7.

Today's chord is Fmaj9, the 1 in our 2-5-1 in F. Looking suspiciously like yesterday's chord, the frets on strings 2 & 1 are reversed. Based on an open Cmaj7, our 5(C) on string 4 is dropped to the open string to become our 9(G), our root(F) on string 3 is moved down 1 fret to become our 7(E), our 3(A) is on string 2, & our 7(E) on string 1 is moved down 4 frets to become our 5(C). #JazzUkeChords#ukulele
Here's the full progression.
I dig how this progression has the same basic grip for the 2 & 5 chords, then a finger flip for fingers 1 & 3 on string 2 & 1 for the 1 chord.

Today's chord is G13#9, the 5 in our 2-5-1 in C. Based, unsurprisingly, on an open G7, our root(G) on string 4 is moved up 3 frets to become our #9(A#), our 5(D) on string 3 is moved up 2 frets to become our 13(E), & our b7(F)/3(B) pair is on strings 2 & 1.

the only reason I specify the U.S. is because postage to anywhere else, including Alaska and Hawaii is stupid expensive, as in more than what I’m charging for the shirt and shipping costs put together.

OK. I'm making a concerted effort to learn #ukulele chords and what they're called. So, I'm writing them down. ("If you don't write it down, you're just f*cking around.")
I'll not post my progress in real time -- the social accountability thing doesn't work for me because it just makes me feel demotivating shame when I don't keep it up -- but I'll reply here when I've got a few and have some stable transitions.
I've just moved across to what is probably my natural home from tech.lgbt, so I guess it's a good idea to do another #introduction post.
I'm an aging (in my 50s) #mathematician who started coming out as #trans#nonbinary only a couple of years ago. Overall this has had massive positive effects on my life -- it's never too late. Sadly I'm a little fixated on being the teenage #goth#girl that I missed the first time around -- my 13yo is not impressed.
One of the things on my to-do list is to post a personal #introduction and today is the day that I will cross that off!
You can call me Sherry. I love to laugh, and am very joyful and fun overall. Wife to one man, mom to one daughter, and grandma. Owner of 2 #parrots and 2 #dogs (1 of which is my #ServiceDog). We live in a 5th wheel in the midst of one of Michigan's Amish communities on a secluded lot in a beautiful area. BA in #music - currently love playing my #Tyros5 and my small #ukulele collection. Use my music to worship #Jesus, am a #Bible believing #Christian living out the Scriptures 24/7 by holding God's hand throughout my life, failing only when I let go. Always aware I am His vessel. “Where the Bible speaks, we speak; where the Bible is silent, we are silent” (Thomas Campbell) is how I deal with most things. A strong conservative politically, I choose to focus instead on the eternal rather than the temporal in my relationships, online and off, and on loving those that God puts in my path, meeting them where THEY are. Love to cook, and eat to minimize the effects of my disabilities as much as I can since 2004. For me that's been #lowcarb and/or #keto and/or #ketovore and/or #carnivore almost exclusively. Been using social media since my #Compuserve and local #BBS days in the 80s, and my interest remains strong to these #Fediverse times because meeting interesting people is such a delight and joy!
