How to play If on ukulele
If is usually fingerpicked on ukulele rather than strummed. If you would rather strum, the whole-bar ballad works as a fallback. It rolls along at a relaxed pace of around 66 bpm. You are playing it in A major. This one leans on trickier shapes, with the chords at the proficient level. Fingerpick the chords slowly and let each note ring under the vocal.
