Ukulele Underground
Videos, tutorials, and discussion forum
Ukulele Underground was created in 2007 with the purpose of helping to grow the next generation of ukulele players throughout the world. For years, the ukulele had been labeled a toy instrument never to be taken seriously. Today, Ukulele Underground continues to challenge the world’s preconceived notions of what the ukulele is supposed to sound like and break barriers that limit the types of music the ukulele is associated with.
