The first Ukulele Riffs Simplified episode!!!

Challenge at the bottom

We start with the iconic Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve.

This sweet short riff covers parallel thirds on strings 1 and 2 moving across 4 different positions with an easy picking pattern

Super simple, super crucial skill, and is used in all genres from 16th century renaissance, to Beethoven's classics, to modern day pop, jazz, rock and blues

Full arrangement is coming in late February or March, it is quiet difficult so I have to put in some hours behind it before I can record it!

My challenge for you:

Can you play this exact same riff (notes) but on strings 2 and 3?
