How to play Bummerland on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the island strum: d – d u – u d u. The groove sits around 96 bpm, a medium pace. You are playing it in E major. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Prefer easier shapes? Transpose the song down 4 half-steps, then a capo on fret 4 brings you back to the key on this page. Bounce a light strum and drop out under the verses for contrast.
