Quick reminder: You’ve got until midnight on Sunday to review your ukulele and win a Kala pineapple. Here’s how it goes sometimes: I hear some ukulele music I really like, I ask the person if they mind answering a few questions, they say ‘go ahead’, I send them some questions, they realise the questions are […]

Match of the Day Theme (Tab) MP3 Because of my anti-football prejudice, I’d never considered tabbing this out before. With the final of Euro 2008 today (that’s soccerball to you North Americans), I thought it would be fitting and, blow me down, it could have been written for the ukulele. It also makes for a […]

Some really good stuff this week. I was going to include Johnny Marvin singing If You Don’t Love Me but I couldn’t embed it. So you’ll just have to go over and watch it. Jem Cooke – Miss You

There have been three Jupiter Creek ukuleles crop up on eBay this week. The baritone has gone already, but you still have a shot at a concert and a tenor. There’s also a soprano for sale on eBay France. It’s not often you see RISAs on eBay, but there’s a Meltocaster on there right now. […]

Love Shack has to be one of the funnest songs there has ever been. The guitar part is played mostly on the top three strings and above the fifth fret, so it fits perfectly on the uke. There are two main parts in the song. The first is the verse part which alternates between C […]

The Darlings – Emily (MP3) via WeePOP! Elizabeth Darling – I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend (MP3) Elizabeth Darling – Oh No! Another Email From You! (MP3) via her website. It’s a tough job being a songwriter these days. A good 90% of songs are about getting together and splitting up and you can’t write an […]

Sesame Street (Chords) Where can I go without my ukulele? In tribute to the classic broken ukulele sketch, here are the chords to the Sesame Street theme tune. The tune starts off with a bit of blues shuffle which goes like this: All the strums are down strums apart from the next to last one […]
