How to play The End Of The World on ukulele
On ukulele, The End Of The World comes down to the 6/8 lilt: d – – d – u. The meter is 12/8, four groups of three per bar, so the pattern loops twice per bar. Expect a relaxed pace, around 76 bpm. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Feel the triplets, three even strums to a beat for the swaying ballad.
