Good Ukulele Songs (3)
This post is about good ukulele songs.
What is a good ukulele song? Is it a song that sounds good on the ukulele, or is it a song that is easy to play on the ukulele?
Songs like “Somewhere over the rainbow” and other popular songs from movies were, and are, extremely popular on the Ukulele, because everyone knows them. This has also been one of the reasons for the Ukulele’s popularity.
You can actually play any kind of music on a ukulele, but some styles are better suited than others. Hawaiian music is especially pleasant to listen to on a ukulele, but the limit does not go there. Both jazz, blues, rock, country and popular music can be good on a ukulele. It always depends on the performer.
