Sufjan Stevens – Death with Dignity (Tab)

Death with Dignity is a beautiful song by Sufjan Stevens about the death of his mother (a subject that clearly resonates with Kanye West).

Making Ukulele Tabs with Guitar Pro

I’ve been using Guitar Pro for almost 10 years. I think all my tabs on Uke Hunt have been made with it. I highly recommend it if you’re getting into making uke tabs. Out of the box, it is set up for guitar so I thought I’d pass on what I’ve learnt about using Guitar […]

The Pogues – If I Should Fall From Grace with God (Chords)

The Pogues – If I Should Fall From Grace with God (Chords) It’s St Patrick’s Day this week and time for the inevitable Pogues post. If I Should Fall… rollicks along at a rapid pace which makes changing to the E chord tricky. It makes it easier if you play the A to D change […]
