4 ukulele chords used in "Too Good At Goodbyes" by Sam Smith: C, Dm, F and Gm
I personally think that at 0 is fine, very easy (at least for me)
As for strumming pattern, I just try to follow the background music.
For the Pre-Chorus I do a down strum then hit
Any alternatives for Gm?
if you need it higher +2 is very good!
i would use A instead of Am…
just my opinion
I love this song but I kinda just go with my own strumming patterns. I tried going just ask each string at a time and liked it so I think that works too! 🙂
-5 is fine. Sam is too high, can’t keep up
I play -5
I thought it was supposed to be “i’m way too good at goodbyes” its “too” instead of “to”.
I’m so happy with this strumming pattern: D-D-U-U-D-U
Try using the Bb chord instead of gm chord. That’s what the ukulele teacher said. Hahaha
I use -5 cuz those are the most basic chords but +2 works I still think -5 works better tho.
the strumming pattern I used was dt-dt
I agree that the -5 is easier and replacing the Dm with an F makes us sound the same. I hope this helps!??
use -5 for an easier version and replace am with em it sounds better.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I always just make up a strumming pattern as I go! Looking at someone else’s is harder for me.
if you replace dm with f and play am after it sounds good
if you replace dm with f and play am after itvsounds good
In all honesty I find that the original key is easiest to play and it’s the original key in the video
Love love love love this song !!! The chords are perfect!
