How to play Start Me Up on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the driving 4/4: d – d – d u d u. The groove sits around 122 bpm, a medium pace. On this page the song is in F major. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Chop the chords with swagger and leave space between the hits.
