Hide Away
The Freddie King Blues classic arranged for C Tuning Ukulele and capturing the classic licks.
Freddie King (September 3, 1934 – December 28, 1976) was an American blues guitarist, singer and songwriter. He is considered one of the "Three Kings of the Blues Guitar" (along with Albert King and B.B. King, none of whom were blood related). Mostly known for his soulful and powerful voice and distinctive guitar playing, King had a major influence on electric blues music and on many later blues guitarists.
Hide Away
or Hideaway
is a blues guitar instrumental that has become a standard for countless blues and rock musicians performing today
. First recorded in 1960 by Freddie King, the song became a hit on the record charts. It has been interpreted and recorded by numerous blues and other musicians and has been recognized by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Grammy Hall of Fame.
In 1995, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame identified Hide Away
as one of the 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll
. The song received a Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999 and in 2007 was inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame. In a song review for AllMusic, Bill Dahl commented: No respectable blues band would dare mount a stage without having 'Hide Away' in their arsenal as their principal instrumental break song. So rousingly recognizable is its galloping shuffle groove and stinging melody that it has reigned as the blues set-closer for several decades.
He added that the instrumental's appeal went beyond blues and was often performed by surf bands

A Note on TAB
The TAB in any arrangement, including this one can only show one way to play any particular phrases. I recommend you be able to perform/play phrases, licks, riffs, runs, melodies, you get the idea — multiple different positions and fingerings on the ukulele.
TAB
or Tablature
, is an alternate form of musical notation, which tells players where to place their fingers on a particular instrument rather than which pitches to play. TAB is sort of a secret language between guitar players and ukulele players. Although a shortcut to getting started it actually serves to alienate one from the rest of the music world.
From the five phases of reading music, TAB only shows the note location, what string and fret to play the note. Some TAB shows the rhythmic duration as well. Fingering considerations are typically left up to the player as in standard music notation, but can be shown. TAB can not show the contour and rhythmic density of music or address the ukulele’s ability to play the same note at alternate locations.
