How to play Crimson and Clover on ukulele

The strumming pattern for Crimson and Clover: d u d u. The groove sits around 120 bpm, a medium pace. This one leans on trickier shapes, with the chords at the proficient level. For easier shapes, shift it down 2 half-steps with the transposer and clip a capo on fret 2 to land back in the same key. Even down-up eighths suit the dreamy tremolo feel.
