If you\u2019ve been playing the ukulele for a long time, you might have run into the problem of not feeling challenged enough with your instrument. After all, the uke is an incredibly easy instrument to pick up. In just a few weeks, you could go from knowing nothing on the ukulele to being able to play scales, riffs and the chords from your favorite songs. But what do you do after that? A lot of uke players get to a comfortable level and don\u2019t know what to do to progress once they’ve mastered the basics. If this sounds like you, we\u2019ve got five hard ukulele songs to help keep you challenged on your instrument.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our first offering of hard ukulele songs is Coldplay\u2019s smash hit \u201cViva La Vida.\u201d The main challenge of this song will be to learn how to master its syncopated strumming pattern. Syncopation, by the way, is when a piece of music features rhythms that are offbeat and unexpected in some way. To help you learn this song, we recommend practicing with a metronome. <\/span><\/p>\n

This song\u2019s use of complex chords and syncopation put it in the category of hard ukulele songs. You\u2019ll need to spend some time memorizing the 6th and major 7th chords in this song before you attempt to put it all to rhythm.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAll You Need Is Love,\u201d by The Beatles<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

This song\u2019s unique usage of the 7\/4 time signature is what makes it a challenging song to tackle on the uke. \u201cAll You Need Is Love\u201d switches between a 7\/4 rhythm in the verses and 4\/4 during its choruses. Again, practicing some of these more rhythmically complex songs with a metronome will be helpful.<\/span><\/p>\n
