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 (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 […]
– Ukulele hip hop collaborator, Einer Bankz interviewed. – Learning the uke in prison. On Video – Chaz Chase eats a ukulele. (Via Ukulelia) – Kevin Bacon serenades his alpacas. – I only just found out Finneas’s character on Glee was a ukulele player with the same name as me. Window Shopping – Flame ukulele […]
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 (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 (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 (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 […]

Green Day – Boulevard of Broken Dreams (Tab) A tab of Green Day’s Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Intro: The verse of Boulevard uses the same chords as the verse of Wonderwall so I went extra Wonderwally for the intro. Verses: Nothing too tricky here. Just fingerpicking around first position chords. Chorus: Switching to strums and […]

It’s tough times for everyone at the moment and I deeply appreciate you ensuring Uke Hunt stays running and is more profitable than Twitter. As […]
