If you bar all of the strings on the fourth fret you'll be playing an E6 which in most cases is fine. If you can learn to take the pressure off the A string, you'l have an E chord. Many of the chords have simpler versions. You don't always have to play all four strings.

and you are missing a whole slew of songs if you don't know how to play the minor 6 or minor 2. Almost all of those Doo Wop songs from the fifties go 1-6m-4-5. In C it's the Am which is a one finger chord. Try playing C-Am-F-G and you might hear what I'm talking about.

Do you go to any of the ukulele clubs?
