How to play Lemonworld on ukulele

To play Lemonworld on ukulele, strum the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 108 bpm. You are playing it in Gb major. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. For easier shapes, shift it down 1 half-step with the transposer and clip a capo on fret 1 to land back in the same key. Play relaxed down-strums and hold the dynamics low and even throughout.
