Glad you found it useful, Ve. You’re right, it does let you integrate it, but my technical incompetence got the better of me.

Thanks for posting on the subject of searching for chords. I am really pleased that you took the time to create a Custom Search in Google! I’m pretty sure Google lets you integrate the search bar on your website.
Cheers again!

I’m not sure if it’s what you’re referring to, but you reminded me about Wilfried Welti’s classical tabs which are here:

I look forward to seeing your classical book. I still want/need to get into your fingerpicking booklet. I know that the German Ukulele has a bunch of classical tabs but I’ve forgotten how to get to them. I don’t understand German.

Thanks, Jeff. Glad you liked it. Most of the sites on the list are the ones I put in the Ukulele 101 book. With a few that have cropped up since.

I’ve been working on a few classical tunes with the intention of doing a classical book. One easier and not quite as good as John King’s.

This is perhaps one of the best ukulele blog items that you’ve put out. I am 1/100th of the internet junkie that you are but I wonder what 40 sites are included in your database? Songbooks from clubs around the U.S., like the ever popular Ukulele Club of Santa Cruz songbook? Brooke Adams and Ukelaneys songs from Portland Oregon, SUSA (Salem Ukulele), Fabulous Songbook, Tabbed songs from the German Ukulele Club, Ron Chmberlin’s Arrangements, Fleabag Songbook, The 4th Peg, Doctor Uke, THe Guitar Guy, Berkeley Ukulele Club Songs.

Lately, I have been doodling around with Pachelbel’s Canon in D (which is part of a play it forward put on You Tube by davoomac in Guam http://www.youtube.com/user/davoomac) I have been challenged to get the tab down just right). But it has made me wonder about other classical songs that may be made for the uke. Perhaps Pictures at an Exhibition by Mussorsky? Who knows?

I have been enjoying learning and playing a simple waltz, Hene, from John King’s duets book.

Al, thanks for another tool to enjoy!
