Watch the Ukulele Play-Along HERE!
Hey all you awesome people of the Underground!
It’s the first of the month (Happy February to you), and that means a brand new episode of Uke Lessons! We’re breaking it down with an ukulele instrumental version of Carlos Santana’s, Europa. It’s quick, it’s dirty, it’s even got a space for you to improv your very own solo in D minor. Scha-weet! It’s been awhile since the last time we did an instrumental piece, so try it out and let us know what you think.
February is also the official month of the Ukulele Underground Award Show (“The Undies!”), where we celebrate your favorite ukulele videos of the past year. Yay! We’ll also be giving away a TON of stuff during the show, so keep an eye on the front page for the date and time, so you can tune in to watch & win!
Hope your Monday is the best Monday ever! Play that uke & be merry!
Aloha,

I LIKE IT!!!! I think I can even full it off, MAHALO ALOHA
Love it! Thanks.
Indispensable information on learning this piece. We had been trying to learn it from listening to the Herb Ohta Jr. version then tried the Dominator tabs that proved to be slow going for us less experienced players.
Many many thanks
Thanks! It's great!
Hey, this is excelent!
One of the ultimate sounds is that of Carlos Santana…it is amazing how great his music sounds on a ukulele!
I cant be alone, as a memory impaired person, I need sheet music, ideally tab when I play. Maybe there is some for this song especailly…that would be really helpful!
Great Job on all the videos! Thanks for doing what you do!

Awesome lesson! The fretboard on the left makes following along really easy. I am also wondering if there are tabs to this version out somewhere so I don't have to keep rewinding the video… Either way, first time my uke sounded like music! Thanks!
This is all kinds of win.
