⚠️ Important: Paul plays the main accompaniment for Hey Jude on the piano. This translates perfectly to Low G Ukulele — thumb picks on the Low G string play Paul's left hand bass line, while Chef's Kiss downstrokes play his right hand part on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd strings. The Claw hand shape and Chef's Kiss strumming techniques combine for picking and strumming.
