This song was on a complication CD that my mam got me when I was younger. “The Best Air Guitar Anthems Of All Time”. I will never forget when she came home complaining that she didn’t get a free air guitar like advertised from HMV 🤣
What Are We Learning To Play?
Below is a video of what you will be able to play by the end of this post.
Ukulele Tabs
This little arrangement is inspired very much from Al’s tabs over at Uke Hunt. If you learning to play the ukulele, you need to be on his website every day. It’s an Amazing resource for all levels of player.
The intro riff is pretty much a chord progression with some fantastically placed muted chords ( x ). That means placing your fretting hand across the strings and strumming. It will create a percussive sound.
