Weezer – The Christmas Song (Chords) Time to break out the Christmas songs.

Videos in today’s round-up include Patrick Wolf covering Joni Mitchell, Max De Bernardi laying out with the Red Wine Serenaders, Goodriddler taking his time before breaking out the uke, a banjo-uke cover of Danzig and another prodigy to make us ashamed of our meagre abilities.

I used to be pretty easy to buy for. A CD or anything ukulele related would serve. Spotify has completely killed off the first and I have more ukulele stuff than anyone of limited abilities can make use of. So here’s a list for those of you dying to send me over-priced junk for Christmas […]

Disclaimer: These are my idle musings. Any resemblance to reality is purely coincidental. Product Lines – Kala Kala have really pumped out […]

Manitoba Hal’s new album Huckster is available to download. I’ve shelled out for my copy and I highly recommend you do likewise. A few people enquired after tab of the version of 7 Nation Army in last week’s UkeTube. It’s now up on Ukulele Boudoir Tricity Vogue is looking for backers to get her debut […]

Ellie Goulding – Starry Eyed (Tab) I don’t often do instrumental versions of songs. I think they can turn out cheesey and boring (particularly if the person listing isn’t familiar with the original).
