How to play Jackson (and June Carter Cash) on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the down-up eighths: d u d u. The groove sits around 176 bpm, a brisk pace. You are playing it in C major. Nothing scary in the shapes, it sits on the easy ukulele songs list at the rookie level. Chug fast steady eighths for the boom-chicka train drive.
