Talk me out of (or into) a ukulele

I think that the accompaniment is, essentially, composed mostly of arpeggios. In which case chords are (from my source I'm looking at) Dm, F, G, Bb, A, Asus4, A7 in various orders.


Arpeggio just means the notes of the chord are played consecutively up and down. On ukulele there are fewer strings and so this space needs to be filled differently. Also the arrangement isn't the song--there are many, many, many ways to play the same song and have it recognizable. I tried playing those arpeggiated chords on ukulele and it worked out, though sounded a bit different as one would expect. With fewer strings, it's reasonable to expect that the arrangement would be less complex. But we can add ornaments, etc. to add complexity if wished and maybe be able to come out with something sounding similar.

arpeggios
Such a pretty looking word.  I have to find some way to remember it.

I enjoy playing songs with that kind of picking pattern and the cords are pretty stable.  

One of the frustrations I find so far is youtubers putting their tabs or sheet music behind a pay wall.  Only, we find out that these sheet musics (arangementsa) are put together (transcribed?) by someone else and offered for free.  

They are profiting by someone elses hard work.  

Same with a book i found at the library.   The author didn't even bother to make the notation consistent within the book or take the names and "do not copy" notices off the music.

This makes me sad and now I am extra careful to try to find the original and support them when I can.
