How to play Mack The Knife on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the all downs: d d d d. It rolls along at a brisk pace of around 132 bpm with a light swing. This arrangement is in Db major. This one leans on trickier shapes, with the chords at the proficient level. Prefer easier shapes? Transpose the song down 1 half-step, then a capo on fret 1 brings you back to the key on this page. Comp four crisp down-strums per bar with a swing feel.
