Sean Kingston – Beautiful Girls (chords) If we’d had a summer this year rather than floods and tornadoes, this would have been the hit of the summer. The song samples Stand By Me, so you can learn two chord progressions for the price of one. It also makes it well worth learning to play the […]

Ballad of Gilligan’s Isle (tab) There are many American shows I know only by their parodies on other American shows. The Captain and Tennille, Laverne and Shirley and Gilligan’s Island: I’ve sat, stone-faced, through parodies of them all. So when I was asked to tab out the intro to Gilligan’s Island I was a little […]

As they mentioned in their very first ukulele love-in, Bosko and Honey developed their uke playing a long way from other uke players and had never met another uke player before their sojourn to the New York Uke Fest. They’re planning to make up for that by spending most of next year touring the globe, […]

Earlyguard is a big favourite here at Uke Hunt. I’ve already tabbed his tunes Busy Bee and Blue Smoke. Yesterday he released an album of his ambient and atmospheric tunes Time To Relax which you can download it for free at his MySpace. Earlyguard’s music is far removed from the ‘rata-tat-tat’ delivery of most ukulele […]

Neighbours theme (tab) I couldn’t resist arranging this tune for the ukulele. Having suffered through a few debilitating bouts of Neighbours addiction, I knew the tune embarrassingly well. For those of you in the developed world who don’t know, Neighbours is a low quality Australian soap full of questionable storylines, over acting and unnecessary bikinis. […]

The best of the week’s ukulele videos over the fold

Musicguymic has new KoAloha Sopranino ukuleles. Only nineteen and a half inches long. Aww bless. San Francisco’s MoCFA is currently holding an exhibition on the Evolution of the Ukulele. It includes a two day ukulele festival featuring Jake Shimabukuro, The Paper Dolls and many others. If you can’t make it, you can still read another […]

SophiSoph – Smile (mp3) via her MySpace Friend of the blog, Brian Osmucon emailed me this morning to let me know about his daughter’s music and blow me down if she isn’t great. As well as having a knockout voice, she’s chosen as excellent song to transfer to the uke in the form of Lily […]

A quick round up of the most popular tabs on Uke Hunt in its three months of life in case you happen to have missed something important. 1. Beirut – Postcards From Italy 2. While My Guitar Gently Weeps 3. 12th Street Rag 4. Pink Panther 5. The Good, The Bad and the Ugly 6. […]

Flight of the Conchords – Mermaids (Chords) I woke up this morning to an excited email from Uke Hunt’s official FotC correspondent Jenny Flame telling me that last Sunday’s episode featured a ukulele song. I immediately dashed over to YouTube, stole the lyrics and started working out the chords. After Jemaine’s appearance with a ukulele […]
