I’ve built up a bit of a backlog of video-tabs from my Instagram. So here’s a whole scattered grab-bag of them to catch up.
Haim – The Steps
Low-G tuning.
South Park – Joseph Smith
Rebecca Sugar Tab Collection
I’ve done many tabs of Rebecca Sugar’s ukulele songs over the years. With Steven Universe coming to a close, I thought it was a good time to collect them together into one ebook.
If you find this ebook useful please consider donating to Cartoon Network’s fundraiser for National Bail Out.
Contents
2. Escapism
Steven Universe – Ruby Rider (Tab)
This one is different from most of the Steven Universe songs I’ve covered. I think it’s the first time I’ve done one that wasn’t written by Rebecca Sugar. It was written by Jeff Liu and performed by Charlyne Yi.
And it’s the first time I’ve done a full chord and melody arrangement. It’s not too difficult though. The only challenge is a few big stretches e.g. the notes on the fourth and fifth frets in bar 6. There are no fancy chords to tackle. Just a trip up the neck in the middle section to navigate.

Rebecca Sugar – Change Your Mind (Tab)
Rebecca Sugar recently uploaded an extended version of Change Your Mind from Steven Universe to raise money for National Bail Out. And, since I’ve been enjoying playing the Steven Universe songs the past few years, I thought I’d give it a proper send of with a few more tabs.
The song features the elements we’ve come to expect from Sugar’s songs including some slick picking runs and the inevitable Cmaj7 chord. And it uses one finger per string picking all the way through.

Rebecca Sugar has been raising money for National Bail Out with a stream with Estelle (uke action starts at about 15 minutes) and auctioning off her ukulele.
Aloha Radio Hawaii is a beautiful album recreating the sound of the “golden age of Hawaiian music”. Although the project’s founder Dave Way makes the slightly strange assertion that Hawaiian musicians can’t play this way anymore so they had to use LA session musicians to keep it authentic.

Community Theme (Tab)
A short and sweet one: the theme to the TV show Community a.k.a. At Least It Was Here by The 88. It’s a jaunty little tune that transfers very nicely to uke. The highlight here is the rising chord move of C5-C6-C7 that builds the tension perfectly into the second half of the tune.

Early in lockdown I published five free tab ebooks to help people keep themselves busy. With restrictions being reintroduced where I am, I thought I’d get ahead of the second wave and put together a few more.
