This is not easy arrangement, for three reasons: it is full of quick positions changes, it’s rhythmically complicated, and it’s fast. very fast. But it’s fun, so take your time learning this, and enjoy the ride! . Full video on YouTube. Score and tab available on my website. .

I simplified this lovely piece by Bartolomé Calatayud by taking out the high bit. Once you are confident with this, do play the whole piece, as the high bit is actually not that hard. Just high.
Another beautiful movement from one of the works for solo violin by Johann Sebastian Bach. It’s not really easy, of course, and a slightly larger ukulele does certainly help.

An uncomplicated arrangement of an uncomplicated song, perfect for my teenage pupils. 😉 I think Rondé is a Dutch band, as this song is played here on the radio quite a lot. It’s catchy!
Erbarme Dich from the Matthew Passion by J. S. Bach. This is impossible on ukulele, of course, but that doesn’t stop me from trying. Here’s the intro, with a few adaptations, on my favourite little instrument.

I made another fingerstyle cover of this song some time ago, but that one is too difficult for a number of my pupils. So here’s an easier version. Once you mastered this, you can continue with the more difficult arrangement.

A favourite piece by Baroque guitar composer Gaspar Sanz. I made an arrangement in two levels: easy and a bit less easy. Play along, read the score or tab, start slow and gradually speed it up. Happy plucking!
