How to play Oleander on ukulele
A good starting strum for this style is the driving 4/4: d – d – d u d u. This arrangement is in Db minor. This one leans on trickier shapes, with the chords at the proficient level. For easier shapes, shift it down 4 half-steps with the transposer and clip a capo on fret 4 to land back in the same key.
