Here are some easy G7 songs for ukulele. G7 and G are turning points in learning to play the instrument. I’ve included some visuals and tutorials to help “see” the chord shape and a fun game to identify frets and chords.

Why is G7 on the ukulele so hard to play?
It’s so easy to see the G7 triangle shape on the ukulele, but as soon as you start to place your fingers there, the shape is visually changed. Instead of setting the fingers one at a time 1, 2, then 3, put finger 1 down then BOTH fingers 2 and 3 on those straddling strings. (C & A) The goal is to eventually place all three fingers at the same time using muscle memory!

Thank you so much for all of this – its my first year in elementary and I’m loving the uke curriculum! I can’t get the blooket link at the top to work for me though.
Mary, thank you so much for letting me know about the link!!! I tried it and it said “can’t find page.” I went to Blooket and copied the link again and it was …the same link. smh And it worked for me. Who knows? In an incognito window it took me to a signup page so I’m hoping it will work now for you. Let me know if it’s still not working and I’ll dive deeper! Thanks again!
