After getting my hands on a Kala soprano, I’m now a complete Kala convert. So I’ve now got two Kalas on my shopping list:

Perhaps I’ve been distracted by the Ukulele Strums broo-ha-ha, but the links are looking a bit thin this week. If this is what happens on all the trams there, I am moving to Toronto. MP3s: Love.Stop.Repeat has Toad’s uke cover of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. Tullycraft have Darren Hayman phoning it in. This […]
Download I’m pretty sure this one is just a heavily effected guitar. But I snuck a non-guitar riff through in the guitar riff series, so it’s payback time. Besides, it’s a lot of fun to bust this one out. I’ve included the definitely-a-guitar part as well.

Don’t let the title fool you, there’s very few breakbeats, very little thrash, and it’s a whole lot more beautiful than concrete. You can get the […]
Download That ‘Literal Video’ thing got old fast. Nevermind, the Take On Me one was amusing. Ukebucket did a rather fine cover of this tune. You can download it here.
Stop the (Word)press: Todd has put up Ukulele Hunt jingle. No doubt I’ll be mentioning that a few times. This week’s most interesting video is a loose ukulele jam from, guitar virtuoso, Kaki King. She does some incredible things with a guitar, so it’ll be interesting to see what she ends up doing with a […]
‘Window shopping’ isn’t accurate this week. I promised myself a new uke once the ukulele strumming ebook was finished. So I bought myself a Kala Lacewood soprano from the Southern Ukulele Store guys. No doubt I’ll be letting you know my opinion before too long. If money had been no object, I might have gone […]
