Rhythm Patterns
Instead of writing the strumming above each bar of music, it is easier to write it as a rhythm pattern. This indicates which strumming pattern to use in each bar throughout the song. The rhythm pattern above the following example shows four strums per bar, with each strum having the value of a quarter note. At the end of the song, play a final C chord and let it ring.
Rhythm Pattern
This traditional Caribbean song also uses the chords C and G7 and sounds great on the ukulele. Remember to use the slide finger technique when changing chords.
