Tips for playing G♭m(add9) on ukulele
On ukulele the usual G♭m(add9) shape is 1120, using three fingers.
Notice the B𝄫 in G♭m(add9) (G♭ B𝄫 D♭ A♭): each note of the chord takes its own letter (G–B–D–A), so the minor 3rd has to be written B𝄫 rather than A — the same key on a piano, spelled to fit the chord.
