# Learn Ukulele — Chord dictionary

> Interactive page: [`dictionary.html`](dictionary.html)

Every shape in this room. Click a diagram on the HTML page to hear it. Open majors and minors first, then barre starters, then method-book sevenths. Tick the first ten on [Open chords](chords.md). No jazz extensions in v1. The neck view marks the **root** with a square and other chord tones with circles. The **letter in the mark** is the note; the **number under it** is the suggested left-hand finger (1 index–4 pinky).

Shapes are **G C E A** (4th → 1st string). `x` = mute; `0` = open.

## Sevenths

Dominant 7ths pull to the chord a fourth above. Soft sevenths (Em7, Am7) stay easy.

## Three tracks

- **Beginner** — C Am F G, then Em and A. Find the root (the square).
- **Intermediate** — add the dominant 7ths and Em7 / Am7. Compare G to G7.
- **Advanced** — Bb / Bm as movable doors → [Barre](barre.md) · [Movable shapes](movable.md).
