How to play Sparks on ukulele

Sparks is usually fingerpicked on ukulele rather than strummed. If you would rather strum, the everywhere 4/4 works as a fallback. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 100 bpm. You are playing it in Db major. This one leans on trickier shapes, with 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. Fingerpick a steady four-note roll and let the notes ring.
