How to play One Of Us on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the island strum: d – d u – u d u. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 92 bpm. On this page the song is in Gb minor. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Roll an easy mid-tempo strum and stay relaxed behind the vocal.
