Tips for playing G♭7♯9 on ukulele
On ukulele the usual G♭7♯9 shape is 3100, using two fingers. It leaves out the root, which a bass player (or your ear) fills in.
Notice the F♭ in G♭7♯9 (G♭ B♭ D♭ F♭ A): each note of the chord takes its own letter (G–B–D–F–A), so the minor 7th has to be written F♭ rather than E — the same key on a piano, spelled to fit the chord.
