How to play Us on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the driving 4/4: d – d – d u d u. The groove sits around 138 bpm, a brisk pace. You are playing it in A minor. The chords stay at the novice level, nothing tricky in there. Start sparse in the verse then open up to full strums for the chorus.
