To play the E7 chord in 1st position on your ukulele, place your index finger on the first fret of the G string, your middle finger on the second fret of the C string, and your ring finger on the second fret of the A string, like this:

One of the best ways to practice any new chord is to learn it in a song. The E7 chord has been used in many different kinds of music, and it adds an interesting twang to chord progressions containing major chords like A, D, and G. Playing songs that contain the E7 chord will help you practice transitioning in and out of this chord, and it will train your ear to recognize the unique sound of this particular chord.

Barre chords, or Bar chords, are usually a nightmare for guitar players, nigh impossible on the mandolin, but lucky for us, much more manageable on the ukulele. A barre chord is made by pressing down on one or more strings across the ukulele fret, often completely across, but occasionally only partially (known as a partial barre). To put it simply place your finger on the bottom string 3rd fret to make the well known C chord. Now place your index finger completely across all the strings on the second fret and your pinky finger on the bottom string 5th fret. You have basically taken the C chord shape up two frets to make it a D chord.

The case of the E shape below is a bit different, because this time you will have to bar strings using your ring finger, not the index finger. To do so, just place your index finger on the bottom string and bend your ring finger to hit all 3 top strings. Basically we use our index and other fingers in the way that is the most comfortable.
