How to Play the song "Santeria" by Sublime on the ukelele

We love songs played on the ukelele because the instrument always makes the tunes sound lighter, brighter, and makes us feel like we're lounging around a beach in Maui with a margarita in hand. If you're a ukelele player looking for a fun new song to try, check out this ukelele tutorial for playing "Santeria" by Sublime.

This song is sweet and a great one to play for beginning to advanced ukelele students because it consists mostly of chord strumming.

CHORDS: (first progression, 4 counts each chord) E - 4442 G# - 5343 C#m - 6444 B - 4322 (second progression, 2 counts each chord) A - 6454 B - 8676 E - 4442 C#m - 6444 STRUM: D, u, d, u (repeat through whole song. The D is the only not played, all other strums are muted)
