Rock-a-bye Your Bear / Where's Jeff? (fingerstyle guitar)

I'm a Dad, I'm an Aussie, of course I know Wiggles! After taking the 3 kids to see The Wiggles in concert today I was inspired to finally record a couple of their songs that I arranged for fingerstyle a while back.

If you don't know Rock a Bye Your Bear then I can only assume that you don't actually know any 2-5 years olds. Where's Jeff even Wiggles fans might not know but it is one of my favourites, it is actually un-Wiggly in it's composition having a chord progression that isn't just G/C/D etc.

Rock a Bye is fairly straight forward, strumming on the rhythm, picking out the melody and having a groovy baseline. When I break into Where's Jeff I go pretty ballastic, you will probably notice that I don't really hold it together all that well but when I can it is heaps of fun and very, very cool. The effort is completely wasted on the kids - they'd be happier if I strummed the basic chords and sang it ;)

Sorry but I haven't tabbed these ones out yet, I wasn't sure if anyone would care for them. Pop a comment in if you do, if I see enough nags then I'd do it ;)

Enjoy - even if you have never heard of The Wiggles ;)

My 5 year old boy has autism & he loves singing & dancing to rock a bye bear. Due to his sensory integration issues I have to play all the music fingerstyle, strumming just freaks him out. Thanks so much for posting this, he'd love to have me play this for him :)

@dlinggar That is great to hear, rock a bye your bear is fairly simple all in chords - have you had a problem with it? I've been meaning to tab it out for a long while, but just haven't found the time. Good luck with it!

Hi Jaw, what you've done here is great!

I also prefer the sound of the classical guitar.
