How to play Figure 8 on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the driving 4/4: d – d – d u d u. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 120 bpm. You are playing it in G minor. I rate the chords skilled, a fair middle ground. Build from light strums to a full driving pattern as the song swells.
