How to play Sweet Child O’ Mine on ukulele
On ukulele, Sweet Child O’ Mine comes down to the driving 4/4: d – d – d u d u. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 125 bpm. As posted it stays in its original key of D major. I rate the chords skilled, a fair middle ground. Chug steady eighths through the verses and open up for the solo.

Try to watch the ukulele teacher’s tutorial of this on YouTube, it’s way easier. He used the chords C-Bb-F-C for the verses and G-Bb-C for the chorus. Also, the strumming pattern he used was DDUUD 2x for each chord (for the verse) but for the chorus the chord C will only be the one repeated twice.
Just for anyone wondering, the riff is not in the same key as the chords. To fix this transpose it to -2 🙂
I LOVE THIS SONG
do -2 to match the chords with the riff, works better for singing 🙂
If you want to play the song in the default chords, I think I may have figured out the beginning of an appropriate riff. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Is there a way to print music from here?
I used the ukulele teacher’s version on YouTube but this was also super helpful when learning the riff 🙂
This song still sounds awesome when put to a mellow vibe through uke, so don’t jam out too hard. It hurts your instrument.
how am I supposed to -2 a zero.
It seems so short
I can’t listen to it because I don’t have amozon music
Anyone got the tabs for the solos in the middle?
-2 for a key that matches with the tabbed riff
D D U D is what I used @Karma is key
Strumming pattern?
Could you please add the chords for the rest of the song: where do we go……

Idk how to read the riff. I need notes, not lines and numbers.
Fairly new to this what putting it -2 mean?
The ukulele teacher on youtube has it all down and its 10 times better than this…
