SONG 1: REBEL REBEL
This is a classic GLAM ROCK song, created by David Bowie back in the 1970's and what a fantastic song it is!
The original track starts on a D major, but for ukulele sake, we will be starting on C, which makes the riff much easier to play whilst singing. It only contains 4 chords but has a rocking riff throughout the chorus and break parts. There are two sections to this song for intermediate players so you can explore both then decide which one you prefer to play.
