It still amazes me that the title of this post holds true. You can play hundreds (if not thousands) of songs using just 4 chords on your ukulele. Read on to find out which chords, why it works and see a list of songs…
Lessons
Down by Dodie Clark Ukulele Tab
If you’ve spent any time searching for ukulele videos on YouTube then you’ve likely seen at least one video by Dodie Clark. In a pretty big leap from my usual alt-rock stuff today I thought we’d take a look at one of her original songs.

Big Me by Foo Fighters – Ukulele Lesson
I finally got around to recording another video lesson. I went for Big Me by the Foo Fighters (which for you kids out there, is from back when they were good)…
