Chords
[For the sound of the 3 slidings it is important to play the chords in these variations]
Slide 1: Dm=2210 D#m=3320 Em=4430
Slide 2: Gm=0231 GmM7=0221 Gm7=0211
Slide 3: A7=0100 A#7=1211 A7=0100
The melody playing (fingerpicking) is simple, because all notes are present in the basic chords.
However, a low-g ukulele would be helpful.
