How to play Willow on ukulele
Try the island strum as a starting point: d – d u – u d u. You are playing it in Ab minor. This one leans on trickier shapes, with the chords at the proficient level. For easier shapes, shift it down 4 half-steps with the transposer and clip a capo on fret 4 to land back in the same key.
