Tips for playing C♯6 on ukulele
On ukulele the usual C♯6 shape is 1111, with the index finger barring all four strings at the 1st fret.
Notice the E♯ in C♯6 (C♯ E♯ G♯ A♯): each note of the chord takes its own letter (C–E–G–A), so the major 3rd has to be written E♯ rather than F — the same key on a piano, spelled to fit the chord.
