Eddie Vedder – Goodbye (Chords)(PDF) Having done one of Vedder’s mandolin songs, it’s about time I had a go at one of his uke songs, Goodbye from the soundtrack to A Brokedown Melody (pleasingly from Woodshed Films). The tuning is a bit of a nightmare. Vedder has his uke tuned down about three quarters of […]

Yoyoyo Acapulco – Kamasutra Tsunami (MP3) Yoyoyo Acapulco – Mexican Wolfgasket (MP3) Yoyoyo Acapulco – The Fund Rug National Anthem (MP3) via NRK I’ve been much enamored with Norwegian ukuleles since NRK was very nice about ukuleles and about Uke Hunt. I need to learn Norwegian as Google offers no translation of ‘oppgangstid’ and translates […]

Frank Skinner – Osama Bin Laden (Chords)(PDF) This will probably be another post entirely lost on my friends across the ocean, unfortunately. It’s a comedian you’ve never heard of at the Secret Policeman’s Ball doing a pastiche of someone who was never famous over there packed with references you won’t get (and even if I […]

There seems to be a Bushman/pirate theme developing: Krabbers and Jonathan Elder. In non-pirate videos this week: Victoria Vox, Old Blind Mole Orkestra, another killer from Toy Horses and the Ukulele Safari hits the UK.

Nice Ukuleles has to be one of the worst brand name of ukuleles out there. It makes the sound cheap and tacky when it looks like they’re a long way from being that. There are a bunch of them for sale here along with a handsome 6 string Kamaka. SpongeBob SquarePants ukuleles have been around […]

Some very diverting videos this week: Eddie Thomas & Carl Scott, Lego ukulele and KazooKeyLele. On the subject of ukulele videos, UkeToob is a new blog and podcast showcasing the best ukulele videos. Jumping Flea Market looks like it might be the recipient of a few of my hard earned Euros once the online store […]

Girl of My Dreams (Tab)(PDF) I covered the chords for Girl of My Dreams way back when, but this time it’s the tab for Michael ‘LStrachey‘ Madden’s version of the tune. It’s a simple and elegant arrangement. There’s nothing too technically difficult to worry about. Like the tab for Blue Skies, it shows you the […]

Uke obsessive WLTM ukulele for long nights of making sweet music together. Me: Has been playing the field with cheap and easy types and is looking for something more serious. You: Tired of being left on the shelf. Me: Handsome as the devil. You: Petite, long neck and curvy body. Me: Laid back. You: Highly […]

Blue Skies (Chords) – Blues Skies Intro (Tab) After a few weeks of heavy duty rock riffs, I’m having a change this week and going with some old school stuff. Blues Skies has been recorded by hundreds of people including Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Willie Nelson. But this tab is based heavily, very heavily, on […]

Entertainment for the Braindead – Sleep (MP3) Entertainment for the Braindead – Resolutions (MP3) When Earlyguard turned me on to Entertainment for the Braindead‘s Hypersomnia, I was knocked out by it. It’s full of beautifully fragile, drowsy tracks. I immediately started badgering her for an interview. Unfortunately, that fell down the back of the internet. […]
