How to play Surfin’ USA on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the down-up eighths: d u d u. It rolls along at a brisk pace of around 158 bpm. On this page the song is in Eb major. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them proficient. Prefer easier shapes? Transpose the song down 3 half-steps, then a capo on fret 3 brings you back to the key on this page. Play fast steady down-up strums to match the surf-rock drive.
