How to play Cake on ukulele
On ukulele, Cake comes down to the island strum: d – d u – u d u. The groove sits around 120 bpm, a medium pace. On this page the song is in F minor. I rate the chords skilled, a fair middle ground. 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. Bounce lightly on the upstrokes to sit against the slinky beat.

play C instead of Ab
+4 is very very very easy
replace E with E7
(at the bridge just play E7 twice)
-1 and +2 both are easier and sound good but for beginners +4 is perfect if you replace the E chord with E7 🙂
-1 works great and this sounds so good on ukulele honestly
-8 is easy and sounds more accurate
Does anyone know the strumming pattern??
+2 works well 🙂
+5 is very very easy
replace E with E7
(at the bridge just play E7 twice)
-1 is really easy and sounds pretty good with a DU-T for each chord! hope this helps!
