Dear Santa, I’ve been a very good boy this year. SHUT THE FU©K UP, SANTA, I HAVE! In that vein, all my Christmas requests are entirely selfless and for the good of mankind. Low-G Ukulele: The people want tabs for low-G ukes, but it’s a pain in the arse trying to work out low-G tunes […]

… and cancel Christmas. Or at least postpone the Christmas posts. There were a bunch of requests for this one after I featured in in the UkeTube, so here it is. The first thing to do tune down a whole step to F Bb D G. For the picking: thumb on (what used to be) […]

Galapaghost – You’re All I Need (MP3) Galapaghost – Lost Generation (MP3) I’ve featured a couple of videos from Galapaghost. He has a great way with a tune. So I threw a few questions at, Mr Galapaghost, Casey Chandler and he was kind enough to bat them back to me. How would you describe the […]

U900 – Sleigh Ride (Tab) The adorable Japanese duo have put together a Christmas album. But they don’t stray away from Ventures territory with this one. The main melody on this one is played on a low-G ukulele with a pick. You can get away with using your fingers, but the low-G is a must. […]

Todd’s doing a great series of turnarounds on the ukulele. Bid on a ukulele lesson from Victoria Vox for charity. And here’s […]

Silent Night (Single Note Version)(Tab) MP3 Since it’s Christmas I thought I’d let you take a break from the tricky arrangements and I’d put up a couple of single note arrangements (along with easy chords) of a couple of Christmas tunes. For kids, newbies and people too drunk and bloated to play anything more complicated. […]

Christmas is coming fast and it’s time to start practicing a few tunes to entertain the family. With John King’s Classical Ukulele and Famous Solos and Duets for ‘Ukulele being the two best ukulele tab books around and his arrangements of Carol of the Bells and What Child Is This? being great, I felt pretty […]

Garfunkel and Oates – Present Face (Chords) I’ve been patiently waiting to put this one up since seeing this video starring ‘thingamy off of Heroes‘ and ‘was he the one who was in My Name Is Earl once?’ I don’t know why they uploaded in January. Anyhoo, eleven months later it’s finally December and I […]
