How to play Rock Around The Clock on ukulele
On ukulele, Rock Around The Clock comes down to the down-up eighths: d u d u. It rolls along at a brisk pace of around 180 bpm with a light swing. I posted this one in its original key of A major. Chord-wise this is an easy one: everything sits at the rookie level. Swing the down-up strokes for that shuffling rock and roll bounce.
