How to Change Bass Tabs into Ukulele Riffs (Patreon)

Sorry this one is getting up a couple hours late, filming and editing bass was actually quite a bit more difficult than Ukulele. 

This lesson is going to show you several techniques you can use to take bass tabs and convert then into ukulele tabs so you can play your favorite bass lines, licks and riffs on the ukulele! If we think about a song like "Another One Bites the Dust" it is hard to imagine that song with just strumming, it is hard to think of someone playing and just strumming through it. So we have established that there are songs that without the bass line or without an important piece it just isn't the same. That is why this tutorial will show you 4 different techniques that you can use to take bass tabs and turn them into Ukulele tabs. The first one, E & A is the easiest, many bass lines only use the E and the A string on the bass and we have an E and an A string on the ukulele, so that one is easy peezy. Sometimes it goes up higher to the D string, so we will show how to arrange those licks. Then we have one that is just all over the place and doesn't have any tricks, so we will show you how to figure out the exact notes being used and how to find those on the Ukulele. The last one is what happens if there is a good and easy riff but there is a section that is really high, so we will show you how to isolate a single phrase and move it down the fretboard.
