How to play the A on your ukulele

When playing A major, place your index finger at the first fret of the C string and your middle finger on the second fret of the G string. Keep your top finger joints perpendicular to the string so the other parts of your fingers or palm do not mute or interfere with the E and A strings. Keep the fingers arched and strum every string making sure each one plays clearly.
