How to play The Middle on ukulele
The Middle runs on one pattern: d u d u. The groove sits around 162 bpm, a brisk pace. I posted this one in its original key of D major. Chord-wise this is an easy one: everything sits at the rookie level. Power through down-up eighths without stopping to drive the whole song.

I use DDU-UDU 🙂
Damnit, they need more (Better) J.E.W songs on here.
Love this song wayyyy to much!
i use DDU-DDU-D , it works for me
Dduudu twice on every chord works for me
If looking for a more rock pattern do : DDD DDU D DU – The count is ( 1e + 2 3+ 4e +)
**TIP – Sing the Count aloud with the melody it’ll be less confusing especially if you’re new to strumming more advanced patterns**
if you have an acoustic electric or electric Uke it sounds fantastic with distortion and soft delay definitely give it a try
For the song
What’s a strum pattern?
This is perfect! I personally don’t think it needs to be transposed – this is the same as the original song and has super easy chords too.
Strum pattern?????
Sounds better tranposed to -2 soo get a capo and try it like that, sounds gooooood.
