When it comes to ukulele chord theory, the 2 most important things to remember are:
1.) Chords aren't real.
2.) If it sounds good, it is good.
I will gladly die on this hill.
So, what sounds good? Tension & release. Let's add some tension to our 6-2-5-1 by using all 7th chords.

Today's chord is F#7, the 6 in our 6-2-5-1 in A. Based on an open E7, our 3(A#)/b7(E) pair is on strings 4 & 3, our root(F#) is on string 2, & our 5(C#) is on string 1.
Groove on!

Went to the local thrift store looking for a goth outfit. Didn’t find that, but a goth ukulele found me! $20! At least the uke fits.
