Top five tunes I've learnt to play on my ukelele (that I got for christmas from my lovely wife)
1 The Ramones - Blitzkreig bop
2 Nancy Sinatra - Sugartown
3 OMC - How bizarre
4 The Clash - London calling
5 Johnny Thunders and the heartbreakers - Chinese rocks

Now, I'm on the hunt for some more tunes to learn, so, any suggestions? keep in mind, its a uke, so no multi-chord epics (prog rock must die).

Ah but can you play the Ramones' version of Rocks...much more riffage?

I heard a guy playing brilliant early Elvis covers on the uke a few weeks back.

Voodoo Chile by hendrix. The intro sounds amazing on a ukulele. You'll be the life of every party. I'm serious.

Hi Peter,
Is there any chance you could let me know your chords for sugartown, nancy sinatra. I've recently bought a ukulele and really would love to learn to play this song. I'd really appreciate it if you could help.
Thanks, ella.
