Joni Mitchell – A Case of You (Tab) A tab to celebrate the recent release of long-lost demos of a young Joni Mitchell apparently playing ukulele. I think this is the first time I’ve transferred a song from dulcimer to ukulele. And it works nicely. I just transposed the original down half a step and […]

Goo Goo Dolls – Iris (Tab) I was inspired to knock this one up after hearing Phoebe Bridgers’ recent cover. Which partly explains why it’s in the same key as that version (i.e. F). It’s a very simple arrangement. It’s all played in the first position. The picking is one-finger-per-string everywhere but the solo section […]

Ray Charles – Georgia On My Mind (Tab) I hastily put together this version of the Hoagy Carmichael classic last week while it was still relevant. But it turns out this song is going to be relevant for a while yet. My version is heavily based on Ray Charles. But I’ve made a few adjustments. […]

Two excellent new instrumental albums: from Finland Markus Rantanen’s debut Ukulele and from Israel, composer and producer, Ziv Grinberg’s Ukulele Fantasies. Vulfpeck‘s Cory Wong chats with Jake Shimabukuro about technique, gear and touring with Bela Fleck. A big step above the standard Shimabukuro interview. (Thanks to Dan for the tip-off.)
