5 ukulele chords used in "26" by Paramore: A, Bm, D, Em and G
I find that the best way to play this is by doing a sort of finger picking pattern.
Hold the chord and pick the 2nd string, then the other 3 after
For the beginning play D with the finger picking 4 times, the G twice, and then the Bm chord twice, repeat.
I think DDU UDU is a good strumming pattern. although it is a good pattern for almost every song out there ? but it really does work well with this song.
Ok I think I have a finger picking pattern. 4 is is strong furthest from you. Not completely sure though.
2-3-2-4-3-2
Thank you so much for putting “26” on here! It is by far my favorite off of After Laughter (even though Hard Times, Tell Me Why, Pool, and Rose-Colored Boy are pretty great) and I’ve been looking for a version of this!
i play it by plucking the 2nd and the 4th string at the same time and then plucking the 3rd string.
4 times for the D chord and 2 times for both G and Bm.
then for A G and Em in the chorus i do the same thing but 4 times for each.
and then in the chorus i do 4 times for G and 2 times for D and A. i think it sounds nice, not really like the original, but the closest i could get by far.
Try with D DUDUDU or DD UDU or DDU UDU, i think that it sound good with any of them
strumming pattern plsssssss
+5 looks easier
i have been waiting for this for SO long, thank you!!!
