How to play Eat Your Young on ukulele
On ukulele, Eat Your Young comes down to the island strum: d – d u – u d u. The groove sits around 82 bpm, a relaxed pace. You are playing it in G minor. I rate the chords skilled, a fair middle ground. Accent the offbeats to catch the slinky soulful groove in the verses.
