4 ukulele chords used in "Summertime Sadness" by Lana Del Rey: A, B, Dbm and Gbm
Transpose to +3
if you play a GM instead of an A when she says “Sadness” It sounds better too
also if you want easier chords just play
A = Dm
Dbm = F
B = c
Gbm = Gm
i recommend the first three chords that this lovely lady Jenn provided, but definitely not the g, the G makes it major when it is in fact in a minor key. So, use Gm. instead, because otherwise it doesn’t sound right. Here is the pattern that you should use:
Dm
F
C
Gm.
what does +3 mean??
for the intro if you’re using 0, add gbm last if you want it to sound a little more like the song
I do -2! I think it’s easier
This was very helpful!
+3
-2 Sounds better, but for beginners I recommend +3.
Strum pattern??
+3 is best for higher octive and in my opinion, is much easier to sing
-4 Capo 1st fret or for hire voices 3 fret try any in between
-2 is also sounds better
-4 makes it sound more accurate in my opinion and is easier if you’re a beginner like me. It’s easier to sing along to it, too. Also, I recommend playing G F Am Dm once before singing the “I think I’ll miss you forever” part, it makes a good bridge and gives you time to breathe. Enjoy 🙂
I reccomend transposing to -4, sounds much better and is easier to play.
+3 is easiest for me!
I recommend using the chords:
Dm
F
C
G
It sounds better
