Hey RC101,
The original piece was in E minor. What went into the decision to shift to D minor for the arrangement in the lesson? Were there particularly prohibitive chords or finger placements in the original key? Thanks!
It’s all about the tuning of the ukulele! Dm allowed for a much easier arrangement to take advantage of the open strings, especially on the C chord. Open strings always create depth and a fullness. Doing this in Em would make the 0000 of our current arr. into 2222 and make it substantially more difficult and sound a bit less full.
