Short Lessons, Ukulele Ratings and Tab Requests

Time for the traditional back-to-school “What I did on my holidays” assignment.

7 Second Ukulele Lessons

7 second ukulele lesson: Wiz Khalifa – Black and Yellow

I’ve been putting up short videos with tab on Instagram (okay, they’re not all exactly 7 seconds long). Mostly of riffs and intros. So far there’s Drake, Ghost, Meek Mill, Simon and Garfunkel, The Libertines, Walk the Moon and Wiz Khalifa.

If you’re not an Instagrandma you can keep track of them via Twitter and via Tumblr. If you’re a Facebooker you can sod off back to your minions. Or I’ll probably be posting roundups on the blog at some point.

Ukulele Ratings

Over on the Ukulele Review section I’ve added a new star rating system (the old one exploded a while ago and temporarily took the whole site with it – that was fun!).

You can see a list of the top rated ukuleles here (by Bayesian average of course).

It’s a new system so ratings are a little thin on the ground at the moment. So if you’ve got a minute to spare I’d really appreciate if you could rate your own uke. There are links to ukulele makers here and luthiers here.

Tab Requests

I’ve set up a new page for collecting tab requests (using Google Forms). The info from that goes into a spreadsheet which is – I’m hoping – going to be easier to scan and pick out favourites than trying to keep track via emails.
