Tips for playing E♭m7♭5 on ukulele
On ukulele the usual E♭m7♭5 shape is 2324, using four fingers.
Notice the B𝄫 in E♭m7♭5 (E♭ G♭ B𝄫 D♭): each note of the chord takes its own letter (E–G–B–D), so the diminished 5th has to be written B𝄫 rather than A — the same key on a piano, spelled to fit the chord.
