Ukulele Covers For April Fools’ Day
Enjoy playing along to your favourite ‘Songs with a Surprise!’
April Fools’ Day is all about having a bit of fun and catching someone out with the unexpected, but sometimes musicians have the clever knack of catching us out as well!
Sting once commented that if he didn’t hear something surprising in the first eight bars of a song, he would stop listening. For many songwriters, a sudden change of style or melody is fundamental to their music.
Here are our top 5 YouTube play along ukulele covers which will April Fool you either with a definite mix of styles, surprise change in tempo or sudden dynamic shift.
Happy Strumming 🙂
