Tips for playing G♯7♯9 on ukulele
On ukulele the usual G♯7♯9 shape is 1022, using three fingers.
Notice the B♯ 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 major 3rd has to be written B♯ rather than C — the same key on a piano, spelled to fit the chord.
