Clarification needed on some Ukulele Chords
Today I decided to start trying to play simple progressions with the new chords I had learned for ukulele, baritone. Trying to play with the old 50's progression C Am F G7 in every key I ran into four chords that I did not know. F#m, G#m, C#m, and Bb. I worked them out to be F#m = 4222, G#m = 1444, C#m = 2124, and Bb = 3331. I would also like to know how to play Bb7 and Bbm. Can someone who knows tell me if I have worked this out correctly? Also is there an easier way to play these # and b chords. Thank you.

Bb7 - 4333 or 3131
Bbm - 3321 FYI these are movable forms; drop the first Bb7 chord form one fret and it becomes A7, raise either form one fret for B7, etc. - same applies to Bbm, so C#m = 6654... Since you're playing baritone, I'd recommend getting a good guitar chord book and working from there - the tuning is the same as the four highest strings so the forms/fingerings/names will be the same...

Thank you. Yes a good book on movable chords would be a good idea. I think I have one hid away somewhere in all my books and papers. I only learned about 20 or so cowboy chords in the past on guitar. Thank you.

Baritone ukes are easy - it's just the same as the top 4 strings on the guitar (assuming you already know guitar, of course!)

nah... just a file to widen the slots for the fatter string.... though you'll probably need new nut and saddle if you decide you want to go back to reentrant tuning
