Indie rockers Foster The People burst into the mainstream with their single Pumped Up Kicks in 2010. It’s gone on to amass over a billion views/streams online. Needless to say, this band writes good music. Let’s learn to play some songs of Torches on the ukulele.
Today we are learning to play Helena Beat, Pumped Up Kicks and Houdini. The ukulele tabs are taken from my video arrangement of the album below.
This video is part of a project I am working on. I’m learning to play my favourite albums of all time on the ukulele. If you dug this one, you might be keen to hear my renditions of Kings Of Leon and Cage The Elephant.
Are you interested to know what kind of ukuleles i use to make all my videos?
