Shakespeare’s Sonnets ... RAWKED
Petrarch is on his way too!
The sheet music is readily playable on a baritone ukulele tuned DGBE, but if you don’t own one, use the four highest pitched strings on a guitar … you know, the guitar under your bed for the last 20 years?
If you can read tablature, you’ll be fine playing these on a regular ukulele tuned with a low 4th string, but the standard notation and chord grid names will be wrong.
You could also use a tenor banjo tuned Chicago style. Shakespeare on the banjo … yup. The struggle is over.
