Two new ukulele blogs: Monsieur Berger’s Ukulele Blog has beginner’s video lessons and Jeff’s Ukulele Ramblings has video as artist bios. R Kelly’s […]
Nina Coquina dishes out some sound advice on buying ukuleles on eBay that’s well worth a read. It amazes me what some people think they can get away with. Like this guy trying to sell a “Vintage Martin ukulele” for $1,500 on the basis of one line and three dark photos. He should look at […]
This is one of those rare occasions when you can use a guitar pick without me telling you off. There are many notes doubled up in this riff. One option is to make ‘running man’ shapes with your index and middle fingers. However, if you want to keep the muted the strings (by resting the […]

Irresistible 60’s melodies and […]
Oingo Boingo – Mary (Chords) Probably the strangest chord progression I’ve put up so far. There’s a chord at every fret between B and D. It’s so strange I kept going back to check I hadn’t got the chords completely wrong (and I’m still not sure I haven’t). I’ve written out the chords for a […]
