Hi… I just bought my first ukulele this afternoon, so I’m a complete novice to the dark art of Ukelele playing, and I hope you won’t think this question impertinent! Show However, after trying to play this with an Emaj7, and struggling with that particular chord shape, I couldn’t help but wonder what it would sound like with an E7 (which, I discovered, is not only much easier to play, but is also the same chord-shape as an Em7. on the Uke… curiouser and curiouser!) and to my ear, it seems as if this chord fits much better than an Emaj7… So anyway, now I’m wondering, is your Emaj7 in the manner of a ‘deliberate mistake’, as per the usual copyright-avoiding practice/politesse? In short, can I use an E7 (or Em7) or will I come a cropper later on? Does it really HAVE to be an Emaj7? Would appreciate your thoughts on this matter. Thanks! (And thanks for posting this beautiful song… always loved ol’ Satchmo, and this song is an all-time favorite of mine!)
