Hawaiian Vamp Chords | Live 'Ukulele: "Hawaiian Vamp Chords
An ‘ukulele vamp (also called a “turnaround”) in Hawaiian music is three chords: II7, V7, and I. The first two chords get two counts (//) and the last gets four (////). If you are playing a down-up strum, one count equals down and up. D7// G7// C//// (D7: DUDU G7: DUDU C: DUDUDUDU). Vamps are usually used in between verses, but are also very common as intros and outros. You will hear the term “picking vamp” too. A picking vamp follows the same sound as the chords, so they fit together. i.e. You could strum a C vamp and your friend could pick a C vamp.
