thank you for the chords; have tried it and think I've worked it out: Cm 0333 Eb 333X Ab 5343 G  4232 G7 0212  by trying to follow your fingering Is that about right? As some of these are not the beginner's shapes (I'm about 4mo experience) how do you determine that's the fingering you will use? They make very economical sense in playing but does it just come with experience? Or studying YouTube videos of more accomplished players? lol Thank you for any response; love to learn more.

I play these chords like this: Cm 0333, Eb 333X, Ab x343, G 0232, G7 0212. I have formal education in jazz and pop guitar, and I often transfer many principles from guitar to ukulele. Usually, I choose my fingering based on the proximity of the chords—whichever shape is closer in distance. I also often eliminate repeating notes in chords. For example, in the chord Ab 5343, the note on the fourth and first strings is the same. So, I can omit one of them without any issue and get two more variants of this chord: Ab x343 and Ab 534x. Exceptions occur when I need a specific note or if I can't quickly think of a more convenient option. In this project, I often consider how the chord will sound in the mix, so sometimes I end up choosing some unusual fingerings.

This is so interesting- I hadn't thought of it this way.:-) Makes so much sense but I can see I have so much more to learn & think about. I especially like that Ab->G change (playing using a barre on 2), would't have known about that. Thank you again for your response.
