Cliff Edwards – Ja-Da (Tab) I first came across the song Ja-Da in Herb Ohta’s Sophisticated Ukulele tab book and had a lot of fun playing his version. I recently had my interest in the tune reawakened when Aline Kelly poster her tab of it. My version is heavily based on Aline’s version. It’s in […]

As much as I’m a fan of dreary and depressing music, I like pop music to be at least a little joyful. And K-pop has been injecting some much needed fun into pop music recently. And I’m a fan of the way they tend to cram as many styles of music into a single song […]

Queen – Somebody to Love (Chords) It’s been very gratifying to see the revival of interest in Queen the Bohemian Rhapsody biopic has produced. Their songs so often have interesting twists and turns, memorable guitar solos and amazing harmonies. Plus Brian May started out on ukulele and picked it up again for Good Company. Suggested […]

Dream a Little Dream of Me (Tab) I wrote up the chords for this song more than a decade ago, so it’s high time I gave it the tabbing treatment. Dream a Little Dream of Me was written in the 30s by Fabian Andre and Wilbur Schwandt and covered by all the greats including Ella […]

Siciliana & Allegro G?.?Ph?.?Telemann on ukulele (Bruko) by Herman Vandecauter Georg Philipp Telemann – Siciliana and Allegro (Tab) Herman Vandecauter has been uploading a long stream of excellent arrangements of classical music from ukulele and, the ukulele’s papai, the machete to his Bandcamp. And he was kind enough to allow me to post the tab […]

Mountain Goats – No Children (Chords) My excitement for the new Mountain Goats album this Friday has spilled over into me writing up one of my favourite songs of theirs. No Children perfectly pulls of the Mountain Goats’ favourite mixture of humour, drama and pathos. If you’re into analysis of Mountain Goats songs, I highly […]

A History of Gotoh tuners (thanks to @HermanVDC). Following on from my list of most used ukulele chords in my posts, Uke Stuff have their graph of chord frequency. New Releases – Craig Robertson’s Stage and Circus Songs. A fantastic collection of songs from the last 16 years about various forms of entertainers including the […]

Thomas the Tank Engine Theme (Tab) I don’t know what possessed the nabobs at the Thomas corporation to replace the fantastic original Thomas theme with a piece of detestable ear-dreck. The new one has nothing as tasty as that chord change from C to Ab, the chromatic runs and the syncopation. I’m not being strict […]
