Rock — Ukulele

For bright pop songs and gentle ballads the ukulele fits like a glove, adding an airy sparkle; heavier rock, blues and funk want the punch and bass it simply does not have. Attitude, volume, and a driving pulse: rock cuts straight to the point, with heavy accents on beats two and four that make your head nod on its own. Here you'll find the classic Mixolydian — in practice, a major sound with a lowered seventh that gives the style its gritty edge — and the blues frame, the chord skeleton inherited from the blues.
