How to play Sex and Candy on ukulele

The strumming pattern that fits is the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 105 bpm. You are playing it in B minor. Nothing scary in the shapes, it sits on the easy ukulele songs list at the rookie level. Play loose and laid-back and let the strums stay soft and lazy.

Biography

Marcy Playground is an American alternative rock and post-grunge band. Named for the formative location in lead singer John Wozniak's childhood (the Marcy Open grade school in Minneapolis, Minnesota), Marcy Playground emerged in the late 90s. They had been influenced heavily by Kurt Cobain and his band Nirvana. The influence is quite clear on Marcy Playground's self-titled album, with songs like The Shadow of Seattle and Saint Joe On The School Bus.
