This blog has plenty of stuff to help you learn Uke if you're new, or if your a seasoned veteran to learn a new song or technique. Feel free to suggest songs or tabs. All the chord diagrams on posts are from ukuchords.com. Thanks, Pat - Owner
I found out about this song... Blah blah blah and some timey-wimey, wibbley-wobbley stuff later, (If you got that reference, then you're awesome) This song seems like it has a bunch of chords, but they're all easy and the tempo's relatively slow. Once you read through the song and you realize "Oh crap. I don't know what accapela means!" and then you remember you read this and you go "Oh yeah, it means there aren't any non-percussion instruments being played for that period of time. I'm a genius!" There you are. Go have some fun and play some Uke! P.S. I'm planning to post another Ingrid osng soon, but you'd already know that if you read the weekly update and/or the "Chords/Tabs I'm Working On/Planning To Work On" thing! Go have some more fun!

My friend introduced me to this song and I instantly loved it! One of the many things I love about this song is that it talkls about E-Dubble's view on the world. Hope you like this song as much as I did. Enjoy!
These are 5 things every Uke player should have other than a Uke. I wrote this because some of you have no idea what to get other than a Uke, and there's some pretty important stuff. You should be able to find all these things in your local music store. Here we go:
-A tuner. These are the things that get your Uke sounding right, and so your chords don't sound off. If you have a good ear for notes, then you don't need this. I'd advise a chromatic tuner which means you can tune to every note, even the ones that aren't regular tuning. Snarks are a really good company. I have on beside my keyboard right now.
-A capo. Capos are those little things that clip on your neck to change the tuning without a tuner (They aren't accurate and you can't capo strings separately). There's three main types. The cord capo works with a cord (obviously) around it and some rubber where the to squeeze the strings and change the tuning. However, these often untighten after a few songs, so obviously the cheapest. The type I have is a clamp capo and the way it works is it you screw a screw witch pushes the rubber that touches the strings. I like it 'cause you can adjust it when it untightens. The third type is a spring capo. It's basically the same as the clamp capo, just it uses a spring instead. Allot of my friends use them.
-A case. They're pretty self explanatory, being a case for your Uke. There's a few different types, and it depends witch one you may want to get depending what you're gonna be doing with your Uke. If it's gonna go under a bit of abuse while traveling, then I'd advise a strong, heavy duty case. These ones also tend to look very nice, being made of tweed with a furry interior or something like that. There's also just plain cases, witch are lighter than the fancy cases, and still provide allot of protection, but look a bit less fancy. That really doesn't matter, and I have one that's great. Also, they're great for somebody who's transporting them by walking. Then there's an Uke bag, witch'll be good if you're mainly keeping it at home and occasionally transporting it.
-A chord book. These are also self explanatory. They're a book of chords. You won't need one of these for Ukulele Central, but they're good for finding out different ways to play a chord (e.g. barre) and for other sites and books that don't use chord diagrams, or are for guitars.
-Access to the internet. There are so many great sites for chord diagrams, tabs, and, of course, YouTube for James Hill videos, (Look him up if you haven't. He's insane) tutorials, music videos, and other stuff. Trust me, I wouldn't be where I am right now in music if it weren't for the internet.
I found of this song while I was checking out WOTE (Walk Off The Earth) music videos. I'm not really a Rihanna/Eminem dude, but the way the dude with the super nice long hair covers it, perfect. Here it is. Also, you may have noticed some changes to the blog. I added a search bar and a list of stuff I'm working on. Enjoy.
