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. [Intro] C Fmaj9 Em7 E7 E7♭9 Fadd9 G Am Fadd9 G Em Am Fadd9 G Em
