How to play New York State Of Mind on ukulele
On ukulele, New York State Of Mind comes down to the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. The groove sits around 70 bpm, a relaxed pace, and it swings lightly. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them expert. Swing the eighths gently and play the chords sparse like the piano.
