Tips for playing A♯5 on ukulele
On ukulele the usual A♯5 shape is x568, using three fingers up at the 5th fret.
Notice the E♯ in A♯5 (A♯ E♯): each note of the chord takes its own letter (A–E), so the perfect 5th has to be written E♯ rather than F — the same key on a piano, spelled to fit the chord.
