LetsPlayUkulele.com - Learn Pop Hits on the Ukulele

LetsPlayUkulele wants you to ditch the air guitar act and learn to play the ukulele. Yes, the ukulele, that small Hawaiian plucked instrument, popularized by Tiny Tim. While it may not find favor among hard rockers or even adult contemporary fans, the ukulele is a fascinating instrument, which also makes great music. It’s worth a website dedicated to teaching you how to play today’s most popular tunes by the chord. There are several ways to get started. One, you can choose an artist or genre such as Britpop or the Kinks, and LetsPlayUkulele will teach you the chords. Two, you can input the chords you know, and LetsPlay will return with a list of songs which use those chords. Three, you can type in your LastFM user name and the site will compose a list of songs you should learn based on your listening habits. There’s also a LetPlayUkulele book for purchase.
