Tips for playing A♭m(add9) on ukulele
On ukulele the usual A♭m(add9) shape is 3342, using four fingers.
Notice the C♭ in A♭m(add9) (A♭ C♭ E♭ B♭): each note of the chord takes its own letter (A–C–E–B), so the minor 3rd has to be written C♭ rather than B — the same key on a piano, spelled to fit the chord.
