Essential Ukulele Songs

To go along with the ukulele songs list, I’ve put together a list of the instrumental ukulele tunes that are most associated with the ukulele here:

Ukulele Music

The list was a bit harder to get together than the ukulele song list, but I think it gives a good overview of the instrumental side of the ukulele. I’ve included links to tab where possible: I don’t think anyone has used a sentence more often than I’ve used ‘Dominator has the tab’ on that page. Dom’s tabs are all very high standard, difficult to play tabs. So, there’s a good chance I might put together arrangements aimed at mere mortals.

If you think you think I’ve made a glaring omission (very likely), leave a comment on this post and let everyone know.

The next list I’ll be working on is the Ukul-A-List: a list of the world’s best and biggest ukulelists. But it won’t just be the shredders. I’ll probably be breaking it down into different sections. As ever, let me know if you’ve got any suggestions. Perhaps I should run a poll on who is the greatest ever ukulele player.

    Hey Woodshed, please put Eddie Vedder in the list. And when are you gonna get round to tabbing “Rise”, I’m looking forward to it.

    Scorpion: Ha ha. What an oversight on my part.

    Rilroad: Sheesh. Keep your panties on. It’s coming.

    You’re right. It was an oversight. And due to this terrible mistake, I am seriously considering taking my ukulele business to a site that features more Slayer.

    Then you’ve got the problem of which Slayer ukulele site to choose. SlayerUkulele.com, howtoplayslayerontheukulele.net, UkesoftheInsane.com or DiabolusinUkeica.com?

    Actually, it’s howtoplayslayerontheukulele.com, and SlayerUkulele.net. Get em’ right! You forgot my personal favorite, headbangingukebloodrainers.com. Get that? C-O-M. Not N-E-T.
