UD#114 Funky Bassline on the Uke!
from Ukulele in the Dark with Guido Heistek

I’ve made a little uke ensemble arrangement of Low Rider. There are five parts: bass, strumming, melody, harmony and a solo. Have a listen!

LOW RIDER FOR 4 UKES


Below is the tab which includes the bass, melody and harmony parts. I forgot to include a chord diagram for the C7 chord, which we play like this: 

Here is the tablature:

LOW RIDER FOR 4 UKES


Last lesson we looked at rhythm and time and we talked about counting. Here is the bass line for “Low Rider” with the counting written in.  More on this in the video!

Here is a video walk through of today’s arrangement!


That’s all for now! 

Let me know if you try this arrangement with your uke group. I’d love to hear about it.
