How to play False Confidence on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the driving 4/4: d – d – d u d u. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 120 bpm. On this page the song is in Eb minor. This one leans on trickier shapes, with the chords at the proficient level. For easier shapes, shift it down 1 half-step with the transposer and clip a capo on fret 1 to land back in the same key. Hit the chorus hard and pull the verses back a little.
