Other than the closely-spaced frets, it's just like playing a guitar - the top 4 strings of a guitar, that is. On a Baritone uke, you're tuned the same - D G B E. On a concert uke, it's like you are on a guitar capoed at the 5th fret - G C E A.
So no 'learning new chords' at all, which is one reason why guitar players adapt so easily to a uke, compared to adapting to a mandolin's tuning.
