How to play Brendan’s Death Song on ukulele
On ukulele, Brendan’s Death Song comes down to the driving 4/4: d – d – d u d u. The groove sits around 100 bpm, a medium pace. This arrangement is in E minor. I rate the chords skilled, a fair middle ground. Start with soft strums and build to full driving downs for the anthem chorus.
