How far this many shapes actually gets you.
I to V to vi to IV, the pattern behind a startling number of hits. In C that's C, G, Am and F. On the ukulele all four are easy open shapes. My guide to ukulele keys explains where those numbers come from.
Because the progression rises and resolves in a way that feels satisfying whatever melody sits on top. Songwriters keep coming back to it for that reason. One set of shapes covers decades of music.
Change the strumming pattern, the tempo or where you start the loop. Starting on Am instead of C gives the same four chords a completely different mood. A capo shifts the whole thing to suit your voice.
Start adding 7th and sus shapes for color, then try songs from the intermediate list. Nothing there is out of reach once four chord changes feel automatic.
