Transposing from Guitar Tab, Eleuke Contest: Friday Links

Here’s a useful site that’ll help you transfer guitar tabs to ukulele. Obviously, it’ll take a bit of reworking afterwards but it looks very useful.

Eleuke USA are on a big publicity drive at the moment and they’ve just announced a new contest that starts in June. It’s the usual video contest affair. The big difference is that, rather than offering a uke, they’re giving away a pile of dirty, filthy cash-money. And a decent chunk of it too. $5,000 to the winner and another $10,000 to various other participants. The downside is that you have to use an Eleuke in your video (and, from my experience, I wouldn’t recommend buying one). That seems like it’s going to significantly cut down the size of the field.

In the comments: The 10 things that might be bollocks has provoked a lot of discussion. There were some great suggestions for additions to the essential snippets post which I’ve added to the post.

    Eleukes have started getting built in a new factory. I had one from the old and now one from the new factory. The new factory is miles betters. Worth every dime that I paid for it. I love it. You will see me in the contest.

    Thank you for the link to 12 frets! I popped in the guitar tab for “Storybook Love” by Willy DeVille and saved a VERY significant amount of time.

    In other news, I love that the featured video also includes the recorder. =]

    Billy: I’ve heard that they’ve improved recently.

    cbf: Good to hear.

    Jeff: Glad you found it useful.

    Phredd: Quick off the mark. Although I think the keytar is the highlight of that video.
