How do you do the E cord in this one? (Which fingers for which string?)
Don’t follow the fingering shown in the chords here. Way to much effort. Think as shape. For the D move it up for the b, for the E move it down 2 Use ur pinky for the extra note on the 4th fret on the Db and ur index for the good ole PIA E note at 2nd fret. The nice thing is the change tom E to B is really easy B to Db is kind of like flipping the shape over ( feels very natural quickly) and Anything to A should already feel natural. When in A you have that bar finger ready to go for the E. The song pretty much repeats the circle all the way through with just a change in emphasis. There is a bit of fancy stuff above but that’s just if ur going solo. Play along to the song and u only need E – B – Db – A all the way through.
This song is much easier if you put a capo on the fourth fret. Then transpose to -4. Simple song, great for beginners.
Lol. It’s not Dbm. It’s C#m. And yes it matters, because mathematically speaking,those two have different frequencies
I find playing in G is easier and it still sounds great
+3 sounds alright and is much easier to play on ukulele
