How to play Liquor Store Blues on ukulele
On ukulele, Liquor Store Blues comes down to the reggae offbeat: – d – d – d – d. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 90 bpm. This arrangement is in Db minor. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them proficient. Want friendlier shapes? Drop it 4 half-steps, then a capo on fret 4 restores the key you see here. Play short offbeat chucks and mute between them for the reggae feel.
