How to play Boy 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 120 bpm. You are playing it in Eb minor. This one leans on trickier shapes, with the chords at the proficient level. For easier shapes, shift it down 2 half-steps with the transposer and clip a capo on fret 2 to land back in the same key. Light upstrokes hold the acoustic pop bounce under the busy lyrics
