How to play Right Before My Eyes on ukulele
To play Right Before My Eyes on ukulele, strum the 6/8 lilt: d – – d – u. It rolls along at a relaxed pace of around 80 bpm. You are playing it in Bb minor. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Prefer easier shapes? Transpose the song down 1 half-step, then a capo on fret 1 brings you back to the key on this page. Sway the strum in a slow triple feel and stay hazy.
