At the start of quarantine, I got so sad I couldn’t play this – Bb was just too hard for me and I felt so disheartened. Now it’s November and I’m strumming like a champ 🙂 practice really does make perfect! (I’m aware that as of posting this it’s a relatively new arrangement, there was another version of this that I couldn’t play due to the Bb chord)
I swear I don’t play for 1 week and now all the good songs are on! lol, anyway love to all who play and thi sis probably the only thing keeping me sane in quarentine.
I am happy I have a ukulele so I can play songs. Its kept my spirits high during quarantine. I do find myself mostly playing Cavetown songs 😅 but, I mean, who can blame me, they are really fun to play, and I feel like most of Cavetowns songs mean something to everyone in different ways. Thats why I love music. It may be talking about one thing, sure, but to everyone who hears it, they could be interpreting it in another way. I love hearing different interpretations of songs and what everyone thinks its about and how it hits home for them. I love playing songs and seeing the different reactions and hearing feedback, and thank you uketabs for helping me learn them ☺️
-5 sounds best I think 🙂
Verse 1: D-DU
Instrumental/Verse 2/Verse 3: DD-UD
Chorus: Strum down once/DDUD
Bridge: Strum down once/DD-DUDUD
Pre chorus: Strum down once
im glad this was added!
If you have smol hands try +7 on the transposer
+5 sounds the most accurate to the original
strumming pattern anyone? TTwTT
i can play it decently but i think it might sound better with a consistent strumming pattern =w=)
Strumming pattern?
