Gary Portnoy – Where Everybody Knows Your Name (Tab) Here’s my take on Cheers theme in tribute to George Wendt. I thought I’d done this one years ago (with it being one of the best theme tunes of all time) but it seems not. The tune starts out simple enough. Next, things get jazzy in […]

Pearl Jam – Better Man (Tab) I don’t think I’ve ever anticipated an album more than I did Pearl Jam’s Vitalogy. At the time, I was disappointed it wasn’t as exciting as Ten and Vs. But in hindsight, it’s clear they were transitioning into being a band that would be around for decades. And that’s […]

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Otherside (Tab) RHCP’s Otherside fits nicely on the uke. Just some fast melody notes to deal with. And the easiest solo in guitar history. Intro: A combination of the bass and guitar parts to create a little bit of counterpoint. Chorus: A simple melody and familiar chord shapes make this […]
Doris Day – Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps (Tab) Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps started life as Quizás, Quizás, Quizás written by Osvaldo Farrés. Since then, it’s been covered by people as varied as Bing Crosby, Cake and Andrea Bocelli. But the most famous is Doris Day’s version. Which I based this arrangement on. Intro: Starting off with the […]

Buzzcocks – Ever Fallen in Love (Tab) Today’s tab is Buzzcock’s many-apostrophed punk-pop hit Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve). Intro: Well worth learning the opening even if you don’t bother with the rest of it. It’s the easiest part of the song. Verse: Here’s where things get tricky. A lot of quick […]

Outkast – Hey Ya! (Tab) Here’s my take on Outkast’s Hey Ya! which was ably covered by the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra back in the day. Verse: The big challenge with this arrangement is the speed. The second verse in particular needs some quick alternate picking. The other thing to watch out for is the […]
Mike Post – Quantum Leap Theme (Tab) The Quantum Leap theme was written by Mike Post who also wrote (previously tabbed) themes for Magnum P.I. and The A-Team. I love the 80s cheese of the theme. And it’s fun to play on uke too. I particularly enjoy the end of the B section (bars 17-22). […]
