How to play Lovely Day on ukulele
On ukulele, Lovely Day comes down to the island strum: d – d u – u d u. The groove sits around 98 bpm, a medium pace. You are playing it in A major. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Relax your strumming hand and stay steady to match the mellow soul groove.
