How to play Amsterdam on ukulele
On ukulele, Amsterdam comes down to the driving 4/4: d – d – d u d u. It rolls along at a brisk pace of around 130 bpm. You are playing it in Bb major. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Play verses lighter then drive fast down-ups into the explosive chorus.
