How to play No Children on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the busy upbeat 4/4: d – d u d u d u. It rolls along at a brisk pace of around 150 bpm. You are playing it in Db major. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Play it fast with steady down-up strums and lean into the chorus singalong.
