How to Read Ukulele Tab

I wanted to create a complete overview of reading ukulele tab, so I’ve written a number of posts covering the subject. They start off with the basics then move on to the more advanced stuff.

Part One - The Basics: frets and strings, tab for chords.

Part Two - Rhythm: In standard notation and tab, bars/measures.

Part Three - Fingering and Repeats: Left-hand and right-hand fingering, bar line repeats.

Part 4 - Advanced Tab: Advanced strums and rhythms.

Part 5 - Hammer-ons and Pull-offs

Part 6: Slides

Part 7: Advanced repeats, dead notes, accents and trills.

Part 8: Vibrato, grace notes and bends.

This series was derived from my ebook Ukulele 101: 101 Things Every Ukulele Player Needs to Know.

If this is your first visit here, you can find the chords/tab in those posts by clicking on the song title in red.
