How to play No Rain on ukulele
To play No Rain on ukulele, strum the island strum: d – d u – u d u. The groove sits around 150 bpm, a brisk pace, and it swings lightly. This arrangement is in D major; the original recording is in E major. The chords stay at the novice level, nothing tricky in there. Swing the eighths and lean on the down-up bounce for that loping groove.

I CAN’T PLAY THE E CHORD!!! ;(
-2 is a bit easier without the E chord
+5 is much easier, with no dreaded E-chord. 😊
I usually just do the following: I put my pointer finger on the top string of the second fret, my middle finger on the bottom string of the second fret, then I put my ring finger on the string below the top string on the third fret. I don’t know what its called but it works for me. I hope this was helpful.
I usually play The E chord starting from the top string going down, 4442. It’s not it’s like 90% the same sound, but it gets the job done
Does anyone know an easier way to play the E chord?
