How to play the Dbm (C#m) on your ukulele

Dbm is a great example of a chord where we want a muted string, here the A string is not played at all. Place the index finger on the first fret of the G string and the middle finger on the first fret of the C string. You have to squeeze those two fingers in, so they don’t interfere with each other or the open E string. Once you have a clear tone the only thing you have to worry about is hitting the A string. You can either practice avoiding it in strumming, or even better barely touch your pinky to the A string. This will effectively mute the string, so you don’t have to worry. Just don’t press too hard or it will sound.
