Who says you can’t play Hendrix on the ukulele? This is a great tune for the instrument. Rumor has it, the man himself started on a uke.
The original key can be a bit of a head scratcher so I’ve also included it in the key of C for beginners.
The chords are a bit tricky so you can find the diagrams here.
