Hello again! This is the second to last school assigned issue of Geek Out, although I will probably be posting more that aren’t school assigned. In this issue, I’ll discuss my favourite songs to play on my ukulele.

 

Here we go:

First off, we have Stay With Me by: Sam Smith. This was the first song I ever learned on the ukulele. We learned it in the music room at Dorothy Lynas (all credit goes to Mr. Drew [the music teacher], thanks so much). This is a really easy song to learn with a really easy to follow chord base. Great for beginners!

 

Stand by Me By: Ben E. King is another great song that only adds one extra chord to the mix. Would recommend to play.

Riptide by: Vance Joy is a fun and easy song to play with only 3 chords needed. If you are looking for a fun time, this is the song for you.

 

Hey, Soul Sister by: Train is a somewhat complicated song to learn at first but it gets easier as you practice. Plus it’s a really great song to sing to with friends. Campfire song worthy for sure.

 

Somewhere Over The Rainbow by: Israel Kamakawiwo’ole is an enjoyable song to play and sing if you know the right chords, which are easy to learn. This song is one of the best songs to play on the ukulele by far.

 

I Don’t Know My Name by Grace Wanderwall. This is by far my favourite song to play on the ukulele. It’s such a fun song to jam out to and great to play for friends and with friends. This is by far my most practiced song of all after my music teacher (Jorden [thanks!]) told me about it.
