8 ukulele chords used in "Teen Idle" by Marina and the Diamonds: A, Bb, C, D, Dm, F, G and Gm
















I’m pretty sure when it says D it’s just a typo. Dm is the right chord
Okay so I figured out that if you really really struggle with playing Bb you substitute it with Gm. So all of the Bbs can just be Gm.
dude why are there NO COMMENTS ON THE FACT THAT EVERY WORD IS CAPITALISED
At the end, the lyrics do not include the word suicidal, instead it goes “Feeling super! Super! Super!
Feeling super! Super! Super!
I’ve come alive”
And i prefer to leave out the Bbs on that part
for -5 i cut out the E. its easier that way
just a suggestion, but I find it sounds really weird using d major in the chorus, I replace it with f major
i think single down strums per chord sounds good
what stunning pattern do you use? and does anyone else pluck the first 2 lines of the chorus
I replace the D as Dm I think it sounds much better 🙂
yeah, things sound a lot better with all D majors replaced as D minors or F majors, and I find it a lot nicer sounding if the G minors were just left to be B flats. All of this is just my input, of course. Hope this helps someone!
Ok so this is what I do for strumming if people care
So
First 3 lines are
Pluck C and then pluck E and A at the same time then Single downstrums on
I wish I hadn’t been so clean
Then double down strums except for the last chord which is single down till chorus
Chorus gets
DDUX
Now second verse is downstrums
As many as needed
Second chorus is the same except
The second come alive is downstrums
Play the riff twice moving from downstrums to the plucking pattern on the B flat
The bridge is
Plucking pattern till
The mirror when I’m on my own single down strums going across each string
Then speed it up on the next line
Then double downstrums on the rest of the lines
Continue this through the chorus until
The wasted years
Which is single downstrums
Then slow downstrums on the next line
And moving to the plucking pattern the rest of the song
On the final B flat play C E and A together and then G as a final note
(I don’t play the final super part)
Basically the entire song builds up and slows down
I hope this makes sense and is helpful
i just replace Bb with Am it might not be great but it sorta works
uh how can I use a capo in this? Is it needed? I just got one today.
aaaa this is so hard
tbh +2 is easier lol except for E
-5 is much easier! (except for E)
