UKULELE HUNT || AMY WINEHOUSE TWIDDLY BITS

Alistair Wood, who has broken the book of ukulele superlatives, has transcribed an Amy Winehouse song in this post: My-Winehouse-Back-to-Black-Chords. And the "twiddly bits" portion has caught my eye because of it's use of 3-string chords.

Now he has the following for GCEA:
         Dm     Gm      Bb       A
A      5          5          5        4
E      5          6          6        5
C      5          7          5        4
G      X         X          X        X

On the baritone DoGBonE, these become:
       Am     Dm      Eb        E
E     5          5          5        4
B     5          6          6        5
G     5          7          5        4
D      X         X          X        X

Let this just be food for thought right now. I have been studying partial chords for a while and intend to share my discoveries in 3-string chords soon. The major 1-3-5 and minor 1-3b-5 only require 3-strings to make a "pure" chord.
