Chords
I colored the chords for ukulele to make it more melodic for ukulele.
The main picking pattern is 2, 1, 3-4, 2, 1, 2, 3-4, 1
(a great pattern I stumbled upon). I do, however, use a lot of
variations of it throughout to get the notes I want. Example:
For the Intro (same as Choruses), we need to begin with an E note,
so I start with the 3 string. For the first two chords I finger
this pattern: 3, 1, 4, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1 then back to main pattern
for the Em7. Look for my shots or my socials on my profile to hear me play
it.
Good for finger dexterity. Example: finger the Em7 with your
pinky and ring finger leaving your pointer and middle prepared
for the next added strings of the E7 and E7♭9. The E7♭9,
adds 1st fret E-string to the E7. I finger the Fmaj9 in the verses
1st fret E-String, 4th fret C string (needing only a pulloff on the
C string to get the following Fadd9). And the Fmaj9 for the choruses,
all open. Shoot me any questions you may have. It can be strummed too.
I included an alternate ending with a nice ending progression.
Concieved and arranged by James Darrin Rich for ukulele.
