How to play Hackensack on ukulele
On ukulele, Hackensack comes down to the island strum: d – d u – u d u. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 108 bpm. You are playing it in Db minor. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Want friendlier shapes? Drop it 4 half-steps, then a capo on fret 4 restores the key you see here. Strum a relaxed island feel and let the jangly chords ring.
