One handed songs?

Ken Swagger · Sep 10, 2013

Does anyone know or can anyone figure songs or melodies to pick with just one hand? I think it would be a fun party trick to learn a bunch. Then you could play songs while drinking, or maybe playing another instrument.

I don't think I'm following what you are saying. Are you talking about playing with one hand on open strings?

Ken Swagger · Sep 10, 2013

Yeah, with right hand on open strings. Sorry wasn't clear and weird question

I can play "My Dog Has Fleas". Seriously, you could tune to an open chord and do single chord songs.

No problem. I'm often "murky" in my thinking. I don't have any ideas, but my son plays this rhythmic lick on his ukulele and it sounds pretty cool, though it would need some lyrics or a melody on top of it.

Here's Al Wood from Ukulelehunt playing one-handed:

(although not right handed on open strings as you asked, but might be a fun party trick too)

Yes, but technically, she is using two hands.
