I transcribed 6 of my YouTube ukulele songs and instrumentals in accurate tablature with rhythmic indication.
For ease of learning I videotaped these 6 songs again and uploaded them on YouTube. These video's are the musical examples of
the tablature.
Every song is played at normal and at slow speed. Furthermore I explain certain difficult passages and how to incorporate the vocals.
You can find the lessons (1. to 6.) and the original Youtube performances in my
Youtube Ukulele Playlist or click in this page on the links under the songtitles below.
The following songs are taught :
1. MACONR RAG : a lively instrumental
2. SOMEBODY LOVES ME : a jazzy instrumental in the style of Big Bill Broonzy
3. STAGOLEE : a blues traditional in the style of Mississippi John Hurt
4. RAGGED AND DIRTY : a minor tuned blues classic
5. HESITATION BLUES : also a blues classic made famous by Rverend Gary Davis and Jorma Kaukonen of Hot Tuna
6. BOOTLEG RUM DUM BLUES : based on the ragtime blues playing of Blind Blake
Songs 1.-2.-3.-4. are relatively easy to play and require minimal fingerpicking skills. They will teach you how to play with a monotonic or
alternating bass.
Songs 3.-5. and 6. have all an instrumental solo that is tabbed out. For song 4. I explain how to create a solo by expanding the verse
accompaniment.
Songs 5. and 6. are not the easiest ones and challenging to play. With a little effort they will give you great enjoyment and a good
foundation in blues playing.
