Em to G: The First Smooth Switch

We start the chord transition series with Em and G. These two chords share most of their shape, so you only move one finger when you switch.

Practice the change slowly and make sure both chords ring cleanly.

How do I play the Em chord on ukulele?: Em places your middle finger on the A string 2nd fret, ring finger on the E string 3rd fret, and pinky on the C string 4th fret. The G string is played open. Em is often one of the first minor chords beginners learn.
Which fingers stay the same when switching from Em to G on ukulele?: When moving from Em to G, the middle and ring fingers stay in place. You only need to lift the pinky and add the index finger to the C string 2nd fret to complete the G shape.
