[...] from the computer this week, so I thought I’d launch into the next series of posts in the top guitar riffs for ukulele. These aren’t the riffs that work best on the uke but those that are most recognisable, fun [...]

Thanks, Space. I’ve just finished the 20. Come As You Are isn’t there. But it probably should be, Hmmm…

A suggestion for the 20-10 list: Come As You Are by Nirvana, it’s pretty simple and it sounds great (imo).

Thanks for the suggestions. I have no idea how to make Bela Lugosi’s Dead work on the uke but I’ll have some fun trying.
