5 ukulele chords used in "Arms" by Christina Perri: A, B, Dbm, E and Abm





















-4 is gorgeous for sopranos.
-4
I like -4
1+ If you are an intermediate/beginner and you like singing in soprano best. Its pretty easy but the transition to a Bb is a bit tricky sometimes. Just my thoughts though
+1 is the best sounding in my opinion although you might like it other ways that is how I feel sound best
I think 1+ sounds the best for anyone with even a slightly wide range. ^^
Does anyone have a good strumming pattern?
hi donati
hi donati!
-2 is also easier. Especially if you’re plucking the 2nd and 3rd strings for the verses.
-4 is super easy to play and a good key for altos or high tenors (I’m a tenor, it was in my higher range but not too high)
+3 sounds suuuuuper pretty if you have a high or low enough voice 🙂 that, +1, and -4 are all easier alternatives to 0. It also sounds really nice for this particular song if you pluck instead of strum, alternating between the C string, and then the E and A strings at the same time, about four times each for the verse chords. Once you get into the pattern, it flows really nicely
+1 is also good
+3 is also good!
