What's that? You don't know what to play?



If you're looking for some songs to play, like aren't we all, then I have some sites with hundreds of songs to choose from. Some sites double up on some songs but there is something different in all of them.

So here we go:-

1. Wukulele On the right hand side of their site you will see a list of songbook links in rainbow colours. Hours and hours of fun right there.

2. Uke at the Duke Just scroll down to their second page and they're all there. 

3. Burkleley Ukulele Club More songs than you can poke a ukulele at. Just don't blame me when your fingers start to bleed. 

4. Richard G's Ukulele song book Local from Brissy I believe and songs being added almost daily. 

5. Ukulele hunt Tabs and Chords From beginners to the ridiculously hard. 

6. Ukester Brown Fore something a little bit different. 

7. Dr. Uke Awesome site with sound files for each song for you can play along with. 

8. Got a Ukulele More songs plus a Christmas selection. 

9. Ukulele Tabs Just how many songs can one ukulele player play?

More links are being add on my Songs, songs songs link


There's an absolute shipload out there. I'll put this up as a permanent page as well and add to it as I stumble across more sites with songs on them.

LP - In The Pines (Leadbelly Ukulele Cover) [Live]

I follow Uke Tubes and He/she/they do all the hard work in finding new and great ukulele videos for their followers. And I'm posting one they twitted the other day. A because She is playing a ukulele but B I found her voice a little haunting so I'm sharing.



What do you think? I love to know.

Cheers.

Yellow please.

Just a little story from The Kala Brand Music facebook page and they're oh so cute.

"We will have a new line of Solid Mahogany Light models available soon. These will be made in natural mahogany. We are considering doing a short run of mahogany models in a variety of tints. Here are a few of the prototypes of the tinted mahogany sopranos. Any interest? Fave color? What sizes should we offer this option on?"

If they made a yellow concert ukulele I'd buy two I think...
