Today we are going to learn how to play "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson on the Ukulele. This classic song has many great covers on a ton of instruments floating around youtube, you can even find the late Chris Cornell of Soundgarden singing a cover! The groove is what makes the song so we will walk you through the progression strum from strum with all the chords and chord tabs on the screen. Of course we will show you how to play the iconic bass riff as well so if you are playing it with two ukuleles you will be able to nail it as well. The bass will have some tabs on the screen, we will also show you how to play the principal riff on a low G ukulele as well so you can get a little more depth to it and have an overall more rounded sound. Everything you need to learn to play this song, and everything you need to play a version with friends if that has some polyphony guaranteed to impress if that is what you want to do!

Trying to do the EEhhHEEE whilst moonwalking into the kitchen and playing the bass part. Not very succesful. But a great lesson again this is. Keep that funky stuff coming !

Talking about funky stuff : why not do a ten day Funk challenge ? Maybe a bit tricky on the ukelele but if we can do Billy Jean, evertyhing else from Sly & the Family to Chic would be a piece of cake, I reckon ? Grts !

I’ll second this. Been wanting to learn funk on the uke and there really aren’t any good tutorials out there on funk methodology.
