How to play Big Black Car on ukulele
Big Black Car is usually fingerpicked on ukulele rather than strummed. If you would rather strum, the everywhere 4/4 works as a fallback. The groove sits around 85 bpm, a medium pace. This arrangement is in C minor. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Want friendlier shapes? Drop it 3 half-steps, then a capo on fret 3 restores the key you see here. Fingerpick a slow rolling pattern; let the low notes hang in the air.
