Ukulele Practice Tip #3: It's All About The Songs
A great way of improving your ukulele skills is to find songs that you love and learn them on the ukulele. That way you get LOTS of motivation to play the song just like you hear it on your iPod or YouTube. It'll make all the difference. Nowadays there is a growing number of songs that feature the ukulele. The most famous one (other than "Tip Toe Through the Tulips") is probably the version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Bruddah Iz. It features a reggae strum in the key of C.
Other recent songs featuring the ukulele are: White Sandy Beach (Bruddah Iz), I'm Yours (Jason Mraz), While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Jake Shimabukuro), Hey Soul Sister (Train), and many more that I'm sure I've missed. Send or bring me your favorite ukulele songs! I've already learned "I'm Yours" and "Hey Soul Sister" is a work in progress.
Keep on playing your uke!
