How to play I’m A Mess on ukulele
To play I’m A Mess on ukulele, strum the island strum: d – d u – u d u. Expect a relaxed pace, around 82 bpm. You are playing it in C minor. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them proficient. For easier shapes, shift it down 3 half-steps with the transposer and clip a capo on fret 3 to land back in the same key. Start the verses soft and open the strum wide for the big chorus.

idk why but ab just doesnt sound right for me
Can I get the Best strumming pattern?
I find it sounds much better on -3 if you tune your uke down a half step (F#-B-D#-G#)
Wow! Now I can play my fauvorite song on ukulele. :*
I prefer – 3
i always transpose +2 bc i find it a lot easier
Does anyone know what -x5323x- means? I know what it sounds like but i don’t know how to play it.
The endings super hard if you wanna play in tempo with the actual song
I love it! 😀
