Tips for playing G♯maj9 on ukulele
On ukulele the usual G♯maj9 shape is 0041, using two fingers.
Notice the B♯ in G♯maj9 (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.
