I’ve used Guitar Pro for all the tabs I’ve made on the site. It was easily the best tabbing software around but GuitarPro 5 had a number of drawbacks for uke tabbers (read about them in my review). So I was very eager to try out GuitarPro 6 which was released earlier this month. Here’s […]

In the Hey, Soul Sister post J-Hob declared that every time I post something appaling I have pay a Fall-feit. Last time, I attoned for the song with the name that shan’t be spoke with How I Wrote Elastic Man and Theme From Sparta FC. This time I’m going for something more recent with Blindness […]

Jeopardy Theme (Tab) MP3 This one was suggested by Ben and Alec in the Essential Snippets post as a tune to play while waiting. The first part of the tune, being in C, works really well on the uke. Then it switches up to Eb and plays exactly the same thing. Which makes things much […]

Videos this week include Svavar Knutur via Ukulele Languages, Brett Domino bringing sexy and a host of fantastic instruments back, Kate Micucci giving herself a nap after confusing herself with tax terms (watch this video first if you want the set-up to the song), some nasty blues-funk from Manitoba Hal and Primrose with the least […]

I went to Belper Uke Gathering last week. I wasn’t there long, but while I was I got a chance to try out Ohana’s new resonator ukuleles. They’re very nice ukes. Well made, top quality parts, sound great. I don’t understand why they did that. The problem is, they’re in the same price range as […]

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 […]

Train – Hey Soul Sister (Chords) Yes, I’ve finally caved. The endless requests, the hundreds of people turning up at the site looking for it, Ritek making me feel guilty about it, ukulele-tabs.com getting ganked. And then there’s the sensible part of me that thinks, “It’s only a damn song. If people just want to […]

A few ideas for people who want to start making their own arrangements of tunes. For this post I’ll be using Ode to Joy because the melody is very simple and you can play it against one chord (in this case C). Here’s the snippet: MP3 You’ll have to forgive any sniffles, coughs and hocked […]

Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain – Anarchy in the UK (Chords) I was tempted to bust out some Boyoyo Boys licks, but this was the only choice for the Malcolm McLaren tribute post. Twiddly Bits The chords for this one are pretty simple, but there are plenty of opportunities for showing off as well There’s […]

The idea behind these little snippets is that you memorize them and roll them out at an appropriate moment to make yourself look like you have a quick wit and a huge repertoire (or make yourself look like a smart-alec knob). Cheesy Joke MP3 If you had a drum you’d go ba-dun tsss. But you’ve […]
