Neal Paislay – Throw Me In The River (Tab) Before you start playing this one, you’ll have to fiddle with your knobs. His uke is in open-F tuning: FCFA. So you need to tune your G string down two frets and your E string up a fret. It’s a tuning that’s a lot of fun […]

A busy week this week. I’ve completely broken my 10 video maximum and left out some stuff I really liked. Those that made the cut include Emily Ritz, Dent May camping it up (again), Tinyfolk, daniellesmagic, a catch up with Caracol, and Sweetafton by herself and Kristen back with JoCo after – I imagine – […]

This Cole Clark Tenor is interesting in that it has two pickups. As well as the usual under-saddle pickup, it has what Cole Clark call a ‘face sensor’. Apparently, it picks up the higher end frequencies. MGM has a batch of new Hono ukuleles. Including one with a ‘lasered design’. I’m not keen on turtles […]

Ukulele Underground did their best lesson ever this week: a masterclass on how to pull an April Fool. It’s just on the outskirts of believable (there really isn’t any level of stupidity beyond the record industry) and the put in a huge amount of work – replacing all the videos changing every mention of Aldrine […]

Flicking through the previews of Bishop Allen’s new album, Grrr…, I didn’t come across any obvious ukulele tracks (perhaps there’s one in the background of Don’t Hide Away). Same story with Mirah’s new one (a)spera (although it does make up for it with a terrible cover).So, a little ditty off Bishop Allen’s last debut. The […]

It’s a good job no one pays any attention to a word I say. If they did, they’d realise how often I contradict myself. I change my mind more often than I change my underpants (i.e. about once a week). I’ve stated a few times that it’s easier for a beginner to play the ukulele […]

NeverShoutNever – Your Biggest Fan (Chords) Here are the chords for the rest of NeverShoutNever’s Me & My Uke EP due to popular demand and to help ukulele-playing school boys impress girls (which is the closest to a noble calling this blog is ever likely to get). Your Biggest Fan is another fairly straight forward […]

I don’t think there’s anyone who looks like they’re enjoying playing the uke more than Ukulele Bartt. And it’s highly infectious – I get an urge to pick up the uke every time I see him play. Particularly when he’s shredding the crap out of some flamenco ukulele. Bartt has just released a new album, […]

Guy Forsyth – Waking Life (Tab) Guy Forsyth’s little ukulele monologue in Richard Linklater’s Waking Life was, fittingly enough, a nightmare to work out. The intro anyway. It’s full of jazzy discords. I’m a long way from certain that it’s right. So if you have any suggests throw them my way. The chords under the […]

Warning! One of these videos autoplays – I couldn’t figure out a way to stop it. But it isn’t on YouTube and I like it. It’s the first one if you’re desperate to stop it. Revenge of the cute ukulele girl this week with Melissa Polinar looking to be on a collision course for Boing […]
