How to play I Wanna Be Like You on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the down-up eighths: d u d u. It rolls along at a brisk pace of around 180 bpm with a light swing. On this page the song is in B major. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them proficient. Swing the down-up strums hard for the hot jazz feel.
