Frightened Rabbit – I Wish I Was Sober (Tab) I recorded this video last year for the anniversary of Scott Hutchison’s death. And I’ve been a little reluctant to get around to the tab as I’m still cut up about it. The trickiest part of the arrangement comes in the bridge. In this section, I’m […]
O du lieber Augustin (Tab) O du lieber Augustin is a short and sweet waltz from 17th Century Vienna. It’s a real earworm that’s been repurposed for everything from symphonies to children’s songs all over the world. My first encounter with it came in The Simpsons. But I was inspired to do a version after […]
The Cure – Boys Don’t Cry (Tabs) I went into this one expecting it to be tricky. But it all fell quite nicely once I transposed it into C. The riff works very well and is an absolute classic (even if I can’t shake the feeling it’s a bit 90s daytime TV theme). For my […]

Rick Astley – Never Gonna Give You Up (Tab) This video has been knocking around for a while but I thought I’d put up the tab to give you enough time to get it under your belt before April Fools Day. The viral nature of this song has ensured it’s become Stock Aitkin Waterman’s most […]
P.T. Adamczyk – Kerry’s Song from Cyberpunk 2077 (Tab) The hullabaloo around the game has stopped me from playing Cyberpunk 2077, but when Kerry’s Song from the game was requested by a Patron I was really taken with the chill tune. What isn’t so chill is trying to play it on the ukulele. There are […]
