This is the strum pattern I use to play Midnight Sky. See here for chords/lyrics. See Youtube for my ukulele play-along video.
I use 3 strum patterns in different sections of the song:
This is the strum pattern I use for the verse and chorus. For the chorus, I also add in left-handed muting, which adds a more percussive sound.
The rock strum is categorized by an emphasis on the 3rd beat. This is the variant I play:
1+2+3+4+1+2+3+4+ d D du ud D du2. Picking I
I use a basic finger-picking pattern for the pre-chorus (The midnight sky is the road...). The rhythm is straightforward: pick on each beat, emphasizing the third.
1 2 3 4 p p P p
The finger-string assignment is:
The picking pattern is 2-3-(34)-3.
3. Picking II - bridgeI use a more complex finger-picking pattern for the bridge (I don't hide blurry eyes...) + the first bit of the chorus that follows. The rhythm is based off the rock strum rhythm shown above.
1+2+3+4+1+2+3+4+ p P p P pp
The picking pattern is 2-(34) 2-(34)-2-2.
