Jonsi – Go Do (Tab) For the people who, quite sensibly, don’t bother reading these bits: YOU NEED TO RETUNE TO EABE. It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Sigur Ros. So I was very pleased to hear Jonsi was sporting a ukulele. And I love this tune. It’s glorious. I love it so […]

Happy Easter, you guys. There aren’t many Easter ukulele songs around. Particularly compared to the amount of Christmas junk. Gerald Ross did a version of Easter Parade which Dominator has tab for. But my favourite is Cory McAbee‘s song with the Billy Nayer Show Slim. And he’s giving it away via Twitter. Chords Or, more […]

Instrumentals don’t usually get much attention in these posts but, screw it, this week I’m sticking up for my instrumentalist brethren and going heavy on the tunes. But, don’t panic, I’ve bookended it with cute ukulele girls to keep you happy. UPDATE: An extra instrumental added, Wilfried Welti doing an incredible version of Bach’s Bourre […]

The Kala Pocket Ukulele is up for sale and we’ve finally got some measurements. The scale length is 11 inches which makes it an inch shorter than the KoAloha Sopranino and the Ohana sopranino. Of course, such measurements are abstract so MGM has done the old trick of putting it next to a familiar object […]

Learn to play the Ukulele Bartt way with his new DVD. TVNZ chat with WIUO about their tour: “So you’re back out on the road again – you guys clearly enjoy the touring? Not really. It’s just that Andy lost a t-shirt during our last tour, so we are retracing our steps to find it.” […]

Happy Birthday (Chords) Every so often I take a look at the site analytics and the pile of rejected requests to find out what people are turning up on the site looking for and leaving unfulfilled. The answer is usually very depressing. And very dangerous. The last time I caved in to pressure ended up […]

If you’ve been following my fingerstyle arrangements for a while you’ll have noticed – and probably been frustrated by – how much jumping between strings goes on. It’s certainly not the easiest ways to arrange tunes but it’s very effective and gives the uke a harp-like sound of close harmony notes ringing into each other. […]

Paul McCartney – Ram On (Tab) I’m going to a quarter break by no-Beatles rule today and post Paul McCartney’s ukulele tune. The original has some very dodgy tuning in it, but Greg Hawkes’s cover makes it much more obvious what a nice little tune it is. I’ve put up the tabs but you can […]

Dandylion – Hevin (MP3) Dandylion – Lady Grey (MP3) via nrk.no On my wanders around the net I stumbled across a few mp3s from the former band of, Katzenjammer ukestress, Marianne Sveen (and, no, I wasn’t looking for compromising pictures and any server logs you find that suggest otherwise are forged). They’re not quite as […]

Charlie McDonnell – Exterminate, Regenerate (Chords) My post on the adorable Charlie ‘charlieissocoollike’ McDonnell’s A Song About Acne proved very popular, so I thought I’d follow it up with his latest tune despite the fact I don’t understand a single reference in it. I’ve only watched two episodes of Dr Who (one set in Rome […]
