Being a fan of playing theme tunes on the ukulele, I very much enjoy the Uke of Carl blog. Carl’s done some great tabs of movie, TV and game themes. It was the first birthday of his blog yesterday so I asked him to guest blog a few of his arrangements and he was kind enough to agree.
My Most Viewed Video
Theme from Angry Boys
I posted this late on a Friday night after watching the show. It was a quick one I worked out by ear. When I awoke on the Saturday morning it had notched up well over a thousand views. This was around 950 views more than I was used to at the time!
My Most Requested Tab
Theme from Morrowind
This is a lovely melody, I’m not surprised that I get almost daily emails asking me for a copy of the TAB. I’ve just started to play Skyrim, so updates to my site will probably begin to peter out until I get sick of it.
My Video With The Most ‘Dislikes’
Theme from Parks and Recreation
Although I don’t dwell on it, the dislike button on Youtube is a strange invention. This has had 5 dislikes so far, compared to 8 likes. Perhaps the public didn’t like the mask I made for the video? I think it’s a vast improvement to the one I normally wear.
The One That Took The Most Time
Theme from Star Trek
No matter how many times I tried, I couldn’t get a perfect take on this one. After around a month of nightly attempts, I settled with this performance. People have often remarked that I look bored in my videos. I’m not bored, just angry and frustrated that I take so long when recording.

Thank you very much for this. I wanted to celebrate with a birthday cake but don’t care for dessert, so instead I’ve put a solitary candle in the top of my rag pudding.
Hope your readers can make the most out of my tabs. Plenty more to come. Keep an eye on my site!
Cheers.
