How to play Silhouette on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. It rolls along at a relaxed pace of around 76 bpm. You are playing it in Bb major. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them proficient. Prefer easier shapes? Transpose the song down 3 half-steps, then a capo on fret 3 brings you back to the key on this page. Let chords ring in the verses then add gentle down-ups in the chorus.
