3 ukulele chords used in "1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back" by Olivia Rodrigo: D, Gb and Gmaj7















If you replace the Gmaj7 with a G it sounds more like the original.
did anyone else look up the word “masochistic”?? don’t. 😐
for the verses i do the picking pattern CEG CEG and i use DDU UDU for the choruses
+3 is easy 🙂
for the chorus i use DUD. hope that helped !!
I use g instead of gmaj7 and Gm instead of Gb
for a picking pattern i did CEG the whole song
🤩
Does anyone know how to play Gb in an easier way and also is there a specific strumming pattern or picking for this song??
Instead of the chord A on +3, I used Am ( A minor) because, in my opinion, it sounds better.
bingus was here 🙁
-2 but instead of Fmaj7, its just f and it sounds good and is easier for people who cant sing as high as olivia <3
i relate to this song much more than is healthy…😅
Strumming pattern?
