Wilson Pickett/The Commitments – Mustang Sally (Tab)

Wilson Pickett – Mustang Sally Originally by Wilson Pickett, Mustang Sally has been covered by acts including The Commitments, Buddy Guy and Barry from Eastenders. I based this arrangement on the Wilson Pickett version but there’s elements of the Commitments version in there. As well as a few bits of my own I’ve thrown in. […]

Christine and the Queens – Tilted (Tabs)

Christine and the Queens – Tilted (Tabs) This is a rare occasion where I didn’t get tilted trying to record the video. It’s a straightforward and fun song to play on uke. There are many moves up and down the neck but you have plenty of time for them. The only challenge I had was […]

Tom Odell – Another Love (Tabs)

Tom Odell – Another Love (Tab) Tom Odell’s Another Love managed to amass 900 million views on YouTube without me ever having heard it. Luckily, my Patreons are more on the ball than I am and requested it. And it’s a catchy song that fits nicely on ukulele in the original key. Technique-wise, it’s a […]

Eddie Vedder – Rise (Tabs)

Eddie Vedder – Rise (Tab) Possibly because of Eddie Vedder’s affection for the uke, the mandolin song from the Into the Wild soundtrack, Rise fits nicely on the uke without changing the key. After a fingerpicking intro, the song is almost all strums. With just a few notes picked out. The verses and choruses are […]

Arctic Monkeys – Fluorescent Adolescent (Tabs)

Arctic Monkeys – Fluorescent Adolescent (Tab) After tabbing Do I Wanna Know? in January, I hope it’s not too soon to cover another Monkeys track: Fluorescent Adolescent The biggest challenge here (after spelling the title) is the very rapid delivery of the verse melody. These bits are played with a long succession of hammer-ons and […]

The Beatles – Now and Then (Tabs)

The Beatles – Now and Then (Tab) The Beatles aren’t going to let a little thing like half the band being dead stop them making hits. And their latest is the earworm Now and Then. Intro: Some simple strumming to start with. Verse: There’s a lot of barreing going on in the verses. Which makes […]

The Cure – Lullaby (Tabs)

The Cure – Lullaby (Tab) Get ready to be freaked out of your gourd by The Cure’s spooky Lullaby Intro: The original intro is unusually long, lasting more than a minute. I’ve chopped it down a little for this arrangement. The intro (like the whole song apart from the bridge) is just Dm-Bbmaj7. The first […]
