    On a tenor uke - Stepping down from G to D I lifted my first finger off the "D note" leaving only fingers 3 (G note) and 2 (B note). I can't find the chord in my ukulele chord book. Anyone know what the chord is named? Thanks.

      Low G my friend. Standard ukulele tuning is GCEA With the high G string… I have mine as a low G string which is common in many players do it. You can buy special sets of strings with a low G string in it already

      @@UkuleleZen I can't believe you answer Stu I'm your fan!!! I was specting somebody else to answer me like a representative, Stu you are unique with the ukulele I won't show you what I play becuase you would laugh until your lungs explote, I play easy things like blues and "El mariachi" I am from Colombia and I have a creative idea just for you, if you want to double the amount of donations you get, you should think about putting Spanish subtitles in your videos(I know you are an English speaker but keep your mind open to this ) , I can watch you since English it's my second language, but Iwhen you look for videos in UA-cam using Spanish words it only shows you results in this language, same thing in English, if you add subtitles in spanish and try to make a title like, learn how to play "El Mariachi" in your ukelele perhaps also Spanish speakers will find it and of course some of them might donate to your channel, hope this works at least to get you some help to keep this running
