Ukulele Music List for Crab Fest 2017!

***************UPDATED MUSIC LIST*****************

Yes, you read it right - we are planning AHEAD this year for the UKULELES at Crab Fest! 
We are 6 months out and it's time to start practicing! Don't try to fool yourself by saying that you have plenty of time.... the clock is ticking and before you know it, you will be packing-up your crab pots, kayak, and ukulele and heading to Bodega Bay.

A group of us (Adele, Roxanne, Regina, and myself) are meeting about every week to learn a set of basic songs, and we thought we'd share this "master" song list & music so that our fellow NCKA'ers can learn the same songs along with us (we would like to come-up with about 10 songs total that are 2-3 cords, so easy stuff).

The best part of our plan is that we'll actually have some songs we'll ALL know, and be able to play as a group. There are a few of you out there who are highly talented, and of course you'll be expected to play some more complex tunes for our listening enjoyment at Crab Fest! But having a few easy songs in our pocket & ready to go will get more people to grove with their ukes.

So far on the music list we have:

-Tiny Bubbles
-The Lion Sleeps Tonight (2 versions)
-Banana Boat Song
-Mockingbird
-Island Style
-Boardwalk
- Hey, Soul Sister by Train
-LING FEVER by Scotty
-Riptide
-I Wanna Be Like You
-The Bare Necessities
-Here Comes The Sun



...ok, so that last one by Train is a little tougher,     but it's a cool song and has a great sound! If you have any favorites to add to the list that are in the 3 chord range, email me the music and we'll see about adding it.

Attached is the music for the songs above - print out your own copy and get practicing!

Whooyoooo! ROCK ON! 

-Cherie, Roxanne, Adele, and Regina

Can I suggest to add "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" and "What A Wonderful World" songs?

Here Comes The Sun



It took me about 3 or 4 evenings to get this one down, but really, it's not that difficult once you work it out. 

Skip to 3:40 to view just the simple cord strums without all the riffs and fancy stuff.  Lean just that and you are good to go for a jam session.  Learn just one of the riffs and you'll be a rock star.  Learn all the parts as he teaches and you'll be a Ukulele God!  Ha!

Glad we still have 6 months to get these. I love pressure

This is great!

And it came about because Kala was good enough to donate such fine Ukuleles.

Yes, they have been awesome for the last 4 years, I am hoping they can donate an uke or 2 again.

LOVE, love  this song, but it's 8 chords! It's a tough song for us beginners - we might only be able to play every 3rd chord, haha.
We can add it to the "learn it after the others" list and maybe some of the more talented strummers can lead us on this one.

Hotel California is a fun one, but I can't remember how difficult it is....
Supply us with the Uke music, chords chart, and words - and we will consider it
