@Geekmemer for all, I've been struggling with this chord too. My advice would be to check if the nut is too high. My uku used to have the nut too high, wasting me too much power on pressing the 1st fret. Once I lower the nut, the problem is solved.

Hang in there, Jacks! It's not an easy chord. One alternative I didn't get a chance to mention in the video is to fret Bb 321X where you skip the bottom A-string. You might start here as you continue to strengthen your fingers for that barre chord.

Brett - as a senior uke player, my arthritis has bent my fingers, so barring chords is out of the question.... even just holding two strings. I’ve found I have to modify everything. So, for Bb, I just play the GCE strings - so much easier. Equally for the wicked E, which is impossible for arthritic hands, I either substitute with an Em, Em7 or E7, depending on the song. Ive found that you have to go with what works, and not what is ‘correct’ - best advice given to me by a very pro player. Thanks for your videos.

I found the best sounding (IMO) way, while watching this video. It's super easy: 1) Pretend that the G string doesn't exist, don't pluck it. 2) Put 4th finger on C string 2nd fret. 3) Make a barre on E and A strings with the index finger. 4) This is where the magic happens. You will have your middle finger free - use it to press down on the index finger, just behind your fingernail. This will make the barre sound way smoother. I saw some people recommending to skip A string instead, but I don't like it because it makes the chord end on a low note. So, this way is perfect for me, at least until I learn how to barre.

This did not help me at all, I just got my new ukulele and I cannot play this chord, it’s extremely hard and difficult and this video did not make it any easier for me. My fingers are always touching the wrong strings, when I try to do the board there’s always one note that I can’t hit and it sounds dull, the only way I can fix that is to turn my finger to the side but then that makes it almost impossible to play the other notes/press down on the other strings. And even if my index finger was right behind the frett either the first or second string would come out sounding dull, I am a beginner and trying to learn ukulele at home, and this note has never been right since the moment I tried it, and this video just did not help me.

This is another excellent, crystal clear vid. Bb is a challenge for many of my students. We drill the primary chords in the key of F to warm up before we play any song with the Bb chord in it ie. F - Dm - Bb - C7 - F, followed by a few songs in the key of F. Leave your uke out on a stand & play the F chord drill every time you walk past it. I too suffer with arthritic fingers & find playing on a Tenor size uke accomodates my mishapen fingers much better as the frets are wider, hope this helps some of you out there xx

You got it! If you slide up the Bb chord position just one fret, you are playing a B chord on ukulele. This is considered a moveable shape, so if you keep moving up a fret from there, you'd be playing C, C#, D, D#, E, etc. major chords.

Thank you for tip on barring with index finger. I am a new beginner I’m in my 60s and I have been trying and trying to play the B-flat barring the first two strings with my index finger my fingers and my hand is just too stiff I can’t arch my other two fingers over to reach the G and C strings. This was very helpful :-) if I’m not able to master this cord with just my index finger on the first two strings and have to resort to barring Are there any disadvantages though of having to only barre The B-flat that I’ll encounter with other cords. I know that this shape is a movable shape is it more effective when you use the index finger or can it be just as effective if you barre the cord? Thanks again 👍🎼
@UkuleleTricks

Glad it was helpful! I honestly don't see very many issues with just sticking with a barre for this chord. There's a lot of benefit here, especially with moveable chord shapes. The biggest challenges with barre chords tends to be the "diving ukulele problem" when changing to and from barre chords but this can be fixed with proper playing posture or the support of a ukulele strap. Great job with learning the barre chord shape! It will take you far!

Hey Meredith, you definitely aren't alone there! It depends on how strong your index finger is and the calluses that have formed. If you notice the skin get tender, definitely take a break and keep working on it. The big, big trick here however with that index finger is getting it as closely behind the fret as possible for the easiest leverage. Keep working at it!

One option for the Bb chord as you work on that partial barre is to just fret the top three strings and mute the bottom A-string, like 321X, where you place the ring finger on the 3rd fret of the top g-string, middle finger on the 2nd fret of the C-string, and index finger on the 1st fret of the E-string. With that index finger, you'll let it touch the bottom A-string to mute it (i.e. prevent it from ringing out). This can be a nice alternative if you have mobility issues with the fingers! That said, I encourage you to keep practicing your barre chords :)
