F#dim Ukulele Chord
A light yet uneasy diminished triad built from F#, A and C. Its minor-third stack gives it a tense, unresolved color, so it most often acts as a passing chord nudging toward the next harmony in jazz, classical and dramatic pop.

How to Play This Chord
Position your fingers on the fretboard as shown in the diagram. The vertical lines represent the four strings, from the top G string (left) to the A string (right), and the horizontal lines are the frets. Numbers inside the dots indicate which finger to use: 1 (index), 2 (middle), 3 (ring), 4 (pinky). An X means don't play that string; an O means play it open. A bar spanning multiple strings means one finger presses across all of them at once — this is known as a barre chord.
Tips & Tricks
This one is friendly because two strings stay open: leave the C and A strings ringing, then place your middle finger on the G string at the second fret and your ring finger on the E string at the second fret. Keep both fretting fingers arched on their tips so they don't brush the open C and A strings and choke them.
