Tuning (standard)

The Standard tuning for a Soprano, Tenor, or Concert ukulele is G, C, E, A.

Unlike a standard guitar that has chords increasing in pitch from left to right, the ukulele has a G for its first chord that is a higher pitch than the subsequent C, and E, chords that follow. The A chord (last chord on the left) is the highest open chord. The G is in effect tuned an octave higher than might be expected.
