This video is part of a project I’m working on. I’m learning to play my favourite albums on a ukulele. If you enjoyed it why not check out some other classic albums that I arranged. Like The Strokes or Two Door Cinema Club.
Arctic Monkeys Ukulele Tabs
Not sure how to read these? Check out this guide and you will be learning these ukulele tabs in no time.
R U MINE?
This is the solo the runs towards the end of the song. I’m using a low G in the video but you can get away without one.
For the first run that starts on the 4th fret of the G and ends on the 7th fret of the A string. You only need to use your first and ring finger. After that, slide up to the 14th with your ring finger.

Arabella
If you are using a soprano ukulele, chances are you won’t be able to reach up those high frets for this one. That’s not a problem though, just play the second chord after the slide twice. Palm mute the riffs for extra beef!

Mad Sounds
Again I’m using a low G for this one. I tried it with a normal G and it still works nicely. I noticed I made a little mistake on the tab. The third to last note should be on the 3rd fret and NOT the 2nd.

Do I Wanna Know
This epic riff sounds amazing on the ukulele and it’s very easy to play. The hammer-ons might cause you some difficulty if you are a beginner. You can learn all about them here.

arctic monkeys month
There you have it, 4 Arctic Monkeys to play on the ukulele. If you are a big fan of them? You might be pleased to hear that i arranged every single album on the uke. I did this over the course of a month on my YouTube channel. I appropriately called it Arctic Monkeys month.
