I don’t know why this is only the third time I’ve featured the Mighty Zeppelin (Whole Lotta Love, Stairway to Heaven) they’re quite clearly the greatest band in history. Perhaps because all their songs are heroically unsuited to the ukulele. This one certainly is. It took a fair bit of fudging and key changing, but I think this version just about works.
I’m using a pick in the MP3 but that’s just because I recorded this right after Master of Puppets and forgot to put it down.
Part of the Guitar Riffs for Ukulele series.
Requested by Jennifer.
As soon as I saw the title of this entry I burst out laughing. As you put it: ‘heroically unsuited’ :D
I can’t wait to give this a bash tonight!
sounds very suitable to me.
high class arrangement!!!
Love it, Al!
mad!
You’re a nutter…you must spend literally 24hrs a day playing uke!
….oops, forgot to say; It’s brilliant!
Sounds spot on, and heroically unsuited to the ukulele.
That’s classic. A must learn. You’ve outdone yourself, again, Al.
what can i say!,
posterity is a richer fool because of this one action,
i commend and salute…..
NICE!
Wow, that is great, i never thought it would sound so great on uke!
Has anyone covered “When The Levee Breaks”?
I’m new to the Uke, and would be interested.
Very fun!!!
total noob here. How does one decipher these riff charts?
Woodshed, i have decided i actually love you for tabbing this! its not as hard as i thought and it sounds so amazing!
Mcnilly- I had a similar reaction when I sat down to play this thru.
Woodshed’s tabs are always so well written- easy enough to play with some practice and always spot on.
This is some of his best work, in my opinion.
mictoboy: All the most enjoyable ones are heroically unsuited to the uke.
laipaz: Thanks.
Jim: Glad you like it.
Jimmy: I wish I could play 24 hours a day.
alec: Thanks. It’s not quite right, but close enough.
Lonna: Thanks. Some of them take me ages to play right – so not that easy… or I’m not much cop.
Rob: Ta!
Mcnilly: I love you too!
Orac: Not that I know of.

Woodshed- I guess it gets a lot easier when you have someone else doing the tabs and also providing an MP3 example! I’m sure that there’s a lot more work put into the tabs you provide than some of us can even imagine. Thank you for all you do for the rest of us. You are like my real life Santa Claus!
