How to play Barbara Ann on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the down-up eighths: d u d u. The groove sits around 150 bpm, a brisk pace. You are playing it in Gb major. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them proficient. Fast downstrokes and a strong backbeat keep this singalong bouncing.
