How to play Starring Role (acoustic version) on ukulele
On ukulele, Starring Role (acoustic version) comes down to the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. It rolls along at a relaxed pace of around 80 bpm. On this page the song is in Db minor. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Want friendlier shapes? Drop it 4 half-steps, then a capo on fret 4 restores the key you see here. Play the acoustic version softly and let the moody chords breathe.
