Charles Mingus – Goodbye Pork Pie Hat (Tabs)

Charles Mingus – Goodbye Pork Pie Hat (Tab) I hope you’re not coming here for a detailed harmonic breakdown of Charles Mingus’s Goodbye Pork Pie Hat, because I have no idea what he’s doing most of the time. Which made it a tough song for me to memorise. With all the unfamiliar chords and movements, […]

Foo Fighters – Everlong Bob Marley – Is This Love Kendrick Lamar – reincarnated Darude – Sandstorm If you don’t care about playing in the original key, you can not bother tuning down the C-string and just move everything on the E- and A-strings up a fret. The National – Exile Vilify (Portal 2)

The Beach Boys – Wouldn’t It Be Nice (Tabs)

The Beach Boys – Wouldn’t It Be Nice (Tab) How else could I pay tribute to Brian Wilson than with one of the greatest songs of all time: Wouldn’t It Be Nice. The song weaves through multiple keys and spans a wide vocal range, so I’ve done some shifting to bring it all within the […]

The Doors – Riders on the Storm (Tabs)

The Doors – Riders on the Storm (Tab) Here’s one for everyone who is into The Doors: Riders on the Storm. Intro: The intro has hardest part of the whole song: the long legato line in bar 7. I’ve cut it much shorter than the original, but it’s still a challenge. Particularly since it needs […]

Where Everybody Knows Your Name (Cheers Theme)(Tabs)

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 (Tabs)

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 (Tabs)

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 […]
