Christopher, Thank you so much for the way you explained things. I also appreciate that you play a small ukulele without a strap. I just added a thinline soprano and am trying to avoid using a strap. Mimicking your positioning I can actually play it without the uke sliding away.
... blinking in awe... this is beyond words how amazingly helpful this is,, dayem! I recall before as well how you commented to me to 'milk that C ' and then I see this vid,, how you keep the C placed,, i'm able to play your Over the Rainbow version much more smoother ,, practice practice,, nowww I understand why you place chords the way you do at times,, easier transition.. awesome !!
This is brilliant. I have considered teaching the Am and F with the higher C to my beginner students need school. Sometimes it see my 6 year olds playing an F with the high C as they forget to remove their ring finger when changing chords, It pains me to correct them!
Great! I have some work ahead but it is the best way i learn. Can you identify the source of the chord chart? I found 2 versions that are different. When I saw your basement wall it reminded me of the basements we had in South Philly. Even had a coal bin.
These are more or less the changes from the original sheet music transposed from G to C which is where I usually sing it. There are a lot of common chord subs people use on this tune so both charts you have could be varying degrees of right.

This video should be compulsory watching for everyone with a ukulele! Great job.
This changes everything for me. Thank you!
My goodness, how this will will change my way of thinking about chords, I've always thought that there is some magic behind this all smoothness. 😉
You have the magic now :)
Wonderful explanation of the importance of voicing!
Highly instructive are clearly delivered. Top teaching....thank you.
This may be the most helpful ukulele tutorial I’ve seen! Well done that man! And thank you!
The voice leading makes such a difference - the difference between an amateur and a professional arrangement.
Amen to that! And a little knowledge will get you a long way
I love the brutal honesty. “How to sound less terrible.” 😂
Must of missed this video previously. A light 💡 moment in cordophone study 📚 :)
Excellent advice. Thank you!
Ace presentation. Clear, concise, very enjoyable advice that will make the next time i think over a song's arrangement very enjoyable. Thanks.

Really clearly explained, Christopher.
Fantastic video Christopher! I do miss our lessons so much!

Wow you caught my attention!
Very interesting never heard anything like that.

Very well explained that man! :-)
Christopher, the title really made me giggle... 😅 like, as if chords per se are just horrible sounding... a general principle so to speak...
Wonderful! An epiphany for me…
Christopher, this is really helpful, and much appreciated. Do you have a link to a chord chart of alternate chord fingerings that we can use?
A+
Welcome to my basement
Im really surprised it took someone this long to comment on my creepy basement
So, why ARE you in the bunker?
