yo hago el rasgueo pulsando las cuerdas 1,2 y 4 en el primer tiempo de cada acorde seguida de la 3.
los otros tiempos del compás 1y 2 al tiempo luego la 3
al final el Rif A 0,1,2 para arrancar directo en c
el coro con 4 golpes abajo en cada acorde

Instead of G + Gx I use:
G (0-2-3-2)
+ G7* (modified with 0-2-1-3)
+ G7 (0-2-1-2)
:)

I second changing the riff to A 0-1-2. It's easier on the fingers, and then you're straight into C

I personally continue with the riff the entire song apart from the chorus where I only play down strums (2 each chord). To me it really recalls the piano playing but maybe it's just me...
for the G2-3-4 I prefer playing it like this 'cause I can let my fingers on the F chord and just slide my middle finger on the G string... also, for beginners, if you put your fingers on the chord positions then even playing the riff would be easier

When it comes to the part that says living for today do G B7 G7 because it sounds good.

intro sounds better fingerpicking C0 E0(together), G0 (repeat 3x) , A2 , G2, C0 E1(together), G2/G4

For the opening is there a rule that is being broken by changing the G 2-3-4 to A 0-1-2 ?

I just recently started playing ukulele.. How do you strum for this, like how many strums on each chord and all that?
I'm reaaaaaally a beginner

for the riff: if you strum instead of plucking two strings it gives it richer sound in my opinion.

Love this version. I play the main riff at the end x 2 and end with a C chord and it is perfect.
