How to play Sugaree on ukulele
On ukulele, Sugaree comes down to the island strum: d – d u – u d u. Expect a medium pace, around 120 bpm, with a light swing to it. You are playing it in E major. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Swing the eighths and keep the strumming loose and relaxed.
