More (re)entrants into world of ukulele blogging: – Ukulele Review does what it says on the tin with instruments, accessories, CDs, DVDs and books. – Ukulele Ghetto is the diary of a UAS ‘sufferer’. Probably the best uke article I’ve ever seen in the press in the San Francisco Chronicle. It even introduced me to […]

Pin midi Nick Zinner of the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs is one of my favourite guitarists around at the moment. All his parts are simple but interesting and very individual. It almost makes it worth putting up with that screaming harridan of a singer. This riff is very staccato. You can produce this by releasing the […]

Not A Crime Midi I’m very taken with this song and Gogol Bordello in general. The riff was originally an Italian folk tune called Tromba degli Zingari. I play this riff with the A string ringing throughout to give it a bit more weight on the uke. I use my thumb to play the melody […]

Come As You Are Midi I’ve always hated Smells Like Teen Spirit. It’s an incredibly boring riff. I find this one much more interesting. Download Come As You Are on Amazon

String bends tend not to work too well on the uke, so I’d suggest you use slides instead (and plenty of vibrato to keep […]

Enter Sandman midi I’m going to get sued for putting this one up, just as you will be if you ever play an E chord followed by an F chord. Oh well, it has to be in the list. I couldn’t decide whether playing the penultimate note of the riff at the eighth or fifth […]

Final Countdown midi To play this riff, it’s important you follow the example of Europe and spend ten times longer getting big hair than practicing. Buy The Final Countdown

Love Machine Midi It’s a bit disheartening that the most innovative, eclectic and enjoyable music around at them moment is made by a pop band put together on a reality TV show. Even the Arctic Monkeys had to face the fact that this song was better than anything they could come up with and cover […]

Have Love, Will Travel midi This song was originally written by Richard Berry who also came up with Louie, Louie. It has been covered many times by the likes of The Blues Brothers, Bruce Springsteen and, most recently, The Black Keys. I’ve cheated a note in this tab so that it will fit on the […]
