Playing The Ukulele Music Can Is Simple Life

If you are feeling particularly lazy, you can strum all the strings open. This will give you a chord which can be seen in two ways. It can be a C6 chord or in can be an Am7 chord. Which of these chords it is depends on the context. The chord makes a great substitute for the C chord (when it is a C6) and for Am (when it is an Am7). So if you see either a C or an Am listed in a chord chart you can play all the strings open and it will give you a more jazzy sound. It will also give your fingers a rest!
