Ukulele Genres

One thing I often have trouble with is recreating the feel of certain genres using the ukulele. I can play a song, no problem, but I often want to do more than just strums chords. This is probably the main reason why I take so long in between videos. I love all kinds of music, and I REALLY love to PLAY all kinds of music, so I struggle alot with more complicated things like Metal and especially Pop Techno. So I often watch people cover different genre's and try to mimic their techniques. So here I've compiled a list of my favorite examples of ukulele being used well in different genre's. I hope this helps anyone who finds themselves in the same boat I am. :D

(Classic Rock) Jimi Hendrix's Little Wing

(Classical) Bach's Bouree in E Minor

(Metal) Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train

(Pop) Michael Jackson's Billie Jean

(Techno Pop) Lady Gaga's Telephone

(Modern Rock) White Stripes' Fell In Love With A Girl

I hope you are inspired by these great uses of ukulele! :D
