How to play Bad Moon Rising on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the down-up eighths: d u d u. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 90 bpm. As posted it stays in its original key of D major. Nothing scary in the shapes, it sits on the easy ukulele songs list at the novice level. Bounce a brisk down-up and punch the backbeat for the driving feel.

Try making barre chords of all of them, then the song sounds perfect, so a closed D (2nd, 3rd and 4th on the second fret and 1st on the fifth fret), A (barre on the fourth fret, 2nd string on the fifth fret, 4th string on the sixth fret), G (barre on the second fret, 2nd string on the third fret, 4th string on the fourth fret).
Then the chords sound pretty good.
Sorry for the odd explanation, but with text and English as my second language it’s the only thing I could come up with.
I think the song sounds of if you strum DD-DU on d then DD on g and a the back on d DU-DU through out the whole song.
What is the strum pattern
What does it mean when someone types “-2”? I’m a complete noob and I don’t get the lingo yet.
Sounds best in G (Transpose +5)
I do DDUUDU (D), then DD (A) DD (G), then DDUUDUx2 (D) again in the chorus
and everything else DDUUDU
cant print it!
-2 is easy and sounds amaze-balls
Love this ????
-2
this doesn’t sound right at all
