How to play Unwritten on ukulele
On ukulele, Unwritten comes down to the island strum: d – d u – u d u. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 108 bpm. This arrangement is in G minor; the original recording is in E major. The chords put it squarely at the skilled level. For easier shapes, shift it down 3 half-steps with the transposer and clip a capo on fret 3 to land back in the same key. Push strong down-up eighths and clap the backbeat through the big chorus.

easiest +2
I don’t think that first D is right…sounds better as an F!
What’s the strumming pattern??
*Unde (Dm) fined
I play the verses switching between F and Dm.
(F) I am un (Dm) written
Can’t read my (F) mind, I’m un (Dm) defined
And basically repeat that
Why do people say +2 is easiest, doesn’t it change the key or something???
