I’ll be back sometime in January 2023 (year of the D7 chord). If you’re after some Christmas music and you’re as Spotify user here’s my Christmas Ukulele playlist. […]

The Beatles – You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away (Tab) Intro: I did an extended intro based on the verse chords. It’s a little tricky so feel free to adapt it however you like. Or just replace the whole thing with one bar of G like the original. Verse: First time around, this section […]

Slade – Merry Xmas Everybody (Tab) Here’s a ubiquitous British Christmas stomper. Intro: Starting off in usual fashion with Eb leading into G major. The Bb note (A-string, 1st fret) suggests G minor so the G major chord is a little surprising. Verse: I’m fingerpicking this section the first two times it’s played. The third […]

R.E.M. – Endgame (Tab) An instrumental track from R.E.M.’s classic Out of Time. Intro: Starting off with thumb and two finger picking. I love the way this riff works with open strings on the uke. So much so, I considered inserting into the song itself. In the end, I saved it for the outro. Verse: […]
