How to play Tardigrade Song on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the funky chunky: d u x u d u x u. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 120 bpm with a light swing. You are playing it in E minor. The chords put it squarely at the skilled level. Mute the strings with your palm on the chunk to match the percussion.
