7 ukulele chords used in "Take It Easy" by Eagles: Am, Am7, C, D, Em, G and G9
this may sound weird, but instead of G9 i used DM
Switch G9 with G7
D D U U D U (island strum)
nice in Dm comment
I feel like there’s a lot of D Majors missing as quick chord changes half a measure right before the verses kick in. Once I add those, sounds great!
Switch G9 to a G7 at the end… In my personal opinion, it sounds better! 🙂
i love the 70. even tho i was not born jet
Got my first ukelele at 6 finally learning to play one 60 years later
This site rocks
Thank you so much for this
Ps
How about auld Lang syne by Jim Malcolm
Thanks for the tip, kinkyBean! Dm is much easier!
I find if you turn the G9 into a Dm its not only easy to play it also sounds more like the song 😀
The hardest cord for me is D
Hi is there a uke riff available for this?
LOVE IT!!
I like to play it at +3. ?
love it,
G9 is Dm with the 4th finger on the first string of the second fret.
