Uke Lesson 11 – Drop Baby, Drop
November 1, 2008
Join the discussion about “Drop Baby, Drop” right here.
Whoohoo! We’re really excited about this month’s episode of Uke Lessons, mainly because it’s a song that so many of you have requested – “Drop Baby, Drop”.
The song, recorded and released in Hawaii by The Mana’o Company in 1991, has somehow become a staple of ukulele jam sessions across Hawaii, the west coast of the United States, and many places no one ever thought it would reach. And even if you have never heard this song before, if you play the ukulele long enough, you will eventually run into somebody who wants to jam it with you.
So we’ve broken it all down for you! Chords, strumming pattern, picking pattern; what else could you ask for? And even if you do have more to ask for, we’ve got you covered: login to the UU Forum and check out the discussion or email Aldrine at askaldrine(at)gmail.com !
Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more of the best free uke lessons and the awesome-est ukulele community in the whole wide web!
