hi. love the blog! i'm wondering about playing this tune on the uke since you have it capo'd at the 2nd fret for guitar. can i just play it on my uke as written (i.e. play Em on my uke) or do i need to transpose it down because of the capo? if you are not familiar with the uke you can play any guitar chord on the uke as written, just a different shape. so, i'm just curious about the capo thing since you wouldn't use a capo on a ukulele. thanks!
you would probably have to transpose... unfortunately, i have no idea how to do that. i'm hoping to get to sit down and learn that someday!
if you figure it out, let me know--my ukelele has been dormant for too long!
