Here’s how you can form the B minor, A, and F chords on the ukulele, along with alternative fingerings:
-
B Minor (Bm) Chord:

Standard Fingering:

Place your index finger across all four strings on the 2nd fret (creating a barre).
-
Place your middle finger on the 3rd fret of the C string.
-
Place your ring finger on the 4th fret of the G string.
-
-
Alternative Fingering (easier):

Use only your index finger to create a barre across the 2nd fret of the C, E, and A strings, and leave the G string open.

A Chord:
