John King – Carol of the Bells

December 1, 2007

I was going to start December with a quick selection of Christmas uke videos, then I discovered that a video of ukulele master John King playing Carol of the Bells has just been uploaded to YouTube. It pretty much trumps any other video.

You can download the fiendishly difficult tab on Nalu Music. Or, if you’re a mere mortal, you’ll be able to get your hands on my more simple arrangement in a couple of days.

I’ve also arranged a version of Carol of the Bells in my ebook How To Play Christmas Ukulele. It’s much simpler than King’s version but it’s in the same key, so you can mix and match as you see fit.

EXPECTING TO FIND CHORDS/TABS? Try clicking where it says the name of the song in red under the video.

    Wow…This is so wonderfully played, I think this song was written for the ‘uke. Beautiful, just proves all you need to make music of high calibre is a ukulele.

    I’m certainly with you on that, Terry. Have you seen his Classical Ukulele tab book? Some top arrangements in it.

Got something to say?
