How to play Sympathy is a knife on ukulele
To play Sympathy is a knife on ukulele, strum the busy upbeat 4/4: d – d u d u d u. Expect a brisk pace, around 140 bpm. You are playing it in G minor. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Want friendlier shapes? Drop it 3 half-steps, then a capo on fret 3 restores the key you see here. Push the busy up-strokes hard to match the pounding four-on-the-floor synths.
