On the two last edelweiss in the song instead of the chord progression G D G C, I do G Dm C Cm and it sounds really good!

Guest

I would recommend plucking the C string then E then G then A for the entire song

Guest

meg

i feel like a good strumming pattern is D DUD

Guest

karen

if you want to try plucking which generally sounds way prettier pluck the two middle strings then the top one then the bottom and do this with the chords for the whole song. it sounds beautiful

On the 2nd edelweiss instead of a g try an e minor! It works pretty well for me but the g works too :)

Guest

Tricia

It sounds better with G in my opinion :)

This is awesome! I taught myself ukulele on the computer, and I have a hard time changing the chords, but it sounds amazing!!

I used the same picking pattern as “Hallelujah”, sounds beautiful!

Here is also another tip, on “blossom of snow may you bloom and grow” I added a C7 on the “snow”

I like to do G7 on “grow” in that same line.

I would actually recommend a F7 on grow in that line. It sounds a lot better.

Omg this song is great!!!! I got it the first time I tried. Good for beginners to learn their chords. I prefer-2 if you don’t want to play the higher sounding pitches. Great song!!!!
