In this lesson I'll show you how to play an evocative, one-of-a-kind chord. As a bonus I'll also show you my "Seven String Roll," a flashy (and surprisingly easy) right-hand technique that makes this unique chord sound amazing!

The first time I did this, a 100 year old Kung fu master appeared in my room and laughed heartily at my ineptitude. 😔
I appreciate finding someone like you that legitimizes ukelele! It's not just for "over the rainbow" type stuff (which is great!) it's a serious instrument, with a lot of room for innovation.
You're the Bob Ross of ukulele! Awesome videos very helpful
I would like you to show off a sweet Oriental medley that features this cool chord James. I know you've got one.
Omg, this teacher is wonderful
It sounds very simmilar if you do it like 0345 making it G Eb Ab D. It gives the same koto feeling with a related, but not equal (and easier overall) chord.
James, I'm loving these videos. They're so unique and give really valuable lessons for everyone of all skill levels. Thanks for making these man. Hope all is well.
I love how in love you are with the ukulele, I am extremely grateful you, thank you.
Great stuff James. Thanks for doing what you do.
Hi James, thank for d teaching, my god bless you.
Nice. This is called a "harp arpeggio" in classical guitar technique. I call it the same on the uke.
I am a beginner....I always look forward to watching your videos and your method of teaching! It is different, interesting and exciting.
You are an excellent teacher!
Thank you for your generosity 😘
I can’t wait to try all this tomorrow morning, I’m very excited!
BEAUTIFUL… Thank You So Much…❤️❤️❤️
Very cool chord man ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Another lesson Sensational!
+Ukulele Legal Uke on!
Very interesting lesson!!!
Just perfect
Ahhhhhhh this sounds soooo cool....I just tried it on my uke
Awesome!!!
A fine tip! Thank you. Nan in Utah
What a fantastic sound! I learned that r.h. roll from playing Villa-Lobos' guitar etudes back in the day. In those unenlightened pre-Ukulele times I called it a "ten-string roll" :p
That is the coolest!
Amazing.
Great video, love that sound and strum. The most unusual chord I've ever played would be G13#9. 4th fret on the 4th string, 5th fret on the 3rd string, 6th fret on the 2nd string, & 7th fret on the 1st string. The 2 half step clusters make for a crazy sound. Depending on context it is sometimes beautiful, others times it can be a little painful. It's like the anti-Dmaj7 chord. Cheers!
+Marc Pendergast Ha ha! Good stuff, Marc. Thanks for sharing.
I love you!!!!
NEW SUB HERE! Thank you. I really enjoy the ukulele. I like this vid and your G6 vid. This is my first instrument I've picked up...and I'm 42. Never too late, right? LOL!
da silva. love you james :)
excellent , thank you !
Cool!!
Cool new stuff :)
If you have a low G string tuning like me, you can play the 13th fret g string, 12th fret c string, and then bar the 10th fret for the e and a string. Not quite the same inversion or sound, but similar. Plus, you can transpose this one!
James, I really enjoyed your workshop at the Strathmore last year. I grew up with my Mom playing the koto, so I really got a kick out of this lesson. I never imagined I would hear that sound coming out of my ukulele. Awesome!
Wow! Thanks for that lesson!
+Peter Forrest My pleasure, Peter. Bonus marks if you can tell me the name of the chord (I honestly have no idea!).
Gsus4flat9 ?
+James Hill Ab-5maj7? :-)
+James Hill
Fm6 add 9 is my guess
My reasoning for Ab-5maj7 is that 'D' on the A string is in fact Ebb. If we start with the Ab on 8th fret C string and choose that as our root, that the puts our mystery chord in the key of Ab.
Ab-C-Eb gives us the chord of Ab major & A-C-Eb-G that of Abmaj7. If now we flatten the 5th of this chord, we arrive at Ab-C-Ebb-G. aka Ab-5maj7, which 0885 voices.
Of course, the note of Ebb is enharmonically the note of D, but the key of Ab already has a Db in it, and you can't use a note's name twice in a scale. So Ebb it is. :-)
Mahalo, James. Very cool, really. Sure would have been appreciated if you would've elaborated a little about where this "thing" could possibly stand in a musical context (functional harmony). Now taking the open g as the root, the b9 and the perfect 4th strongly suggest a Gdom. chord to my ears.
Gasped when I heard it 😍🤤
Thanks for the tutorial, James! I think John King used this chord in his Sakura arrangement. One question I got for you is this: when you say that "there's nothing on the ukulele fretboard quite like this" I wonder what makes you say that, because it is still possible to play this chord on low-G ukulele using 2-4-1-2 moveable shape, although playing the 7 string roll isn't possible (but still finger picking 3-2-4-1-4-2-3 fast enough has the same effect? Thanks again for the lesson, and really looking forward to learn more!
Its like D minor but a couple frets higher, and one fret to the left!
yeah, nice vid
I instantly wondered how this would sound with some overdrive on it.
This takes me back to the PBS painter Bill Alexander or was it Bob Ross?. All James needs is an Afro wig. Thank you for giving back to the uke community. These are priceless lessons.
I think it may have been Bob Ross that called his brush the "The Almighty Brush".
chord is 0885, roll at 2:25 - gotta try it when it's not night time
0 dislikes. You know what to do!
my dog has fleas xD
I died
as with your other you tube tutorials, very good. your enthusiasm for the instrument is infectious & I'm keen to learn more. I have registered as a member on your website but still getting oops! message, can't get access at all. anyone else having this problem?
+dalex Thanks for your kind words. Sorry you had trouble logging into The Ukulele Way. I had a look and was able to activate your account manually. Please try again and let me know if you still have the same issue. Welcome to The Ukulele Way!
Wow! Sounds like a koto,
あら、お琴みたいなサウンドだわ。ウクレレ は懐が広いわね。
OMG. :)
Hello, may I ask why I can not search out -how not to hold your ukulele?
+Karen Chan It hasn't been released yet... but it won't be long!
I FOUND THIS WHILE MESSING AROUND
Wow, which Uke do you prefer to use? (In general)
+aRose074 Top three for me: DaSilva, Mya-Moe, Ko'olau. Many other great makers out there...
Your uke is gorgeous. What is it?
Why do you play this over the sound hole and not the "sweet spot"?
Good question! Playing over the sound hole gives a more strident / brittle sound that IMO is more like the sound of the koto.
What brand Uke are you using?
+oahu kane DaSilva www.ukemaker.com
+James Hill ty
Csus2addb13 I think.
So a Gsus4 chord. Might've been helpful for him to state that out the outset instead of acting like it's magic.
how is that a gsus4?
What size ukulele does he play
it is a soprano
Instructions unclear, Summoned multiple Samurais from the olden Japanese Military.
Wow, I'm on a soprano and I don't think my fingers can move like that.
My fingers hurt lol
How do you get a high G?
+G-Rex Just replace the 4th string with a thinner one and tune it up an octave. Most ukulele string sets are "high g" by default. Good luck!
James Hill Oh, mine could be then. Thanks!
Sounds Oriental
This is awkward I'm james hill too
