Christmas is coming fast and it’s time to start practicing a few tunes to entertain the family. With John King’s Classical Ukulele and Famous Solos and Duets for ‘Ukulele being the two best ukulele tab books around and his arrangements of Carol of the Bells and What Child Is This? being great, I felt pretty [...]

Garfunkel and Oates – Present Face (Chords) I’ve been patiently waiting to put this one up since seeing this video starring ‘thingamy off of Heroes‘ and ‘was he the one who was in My Name Is Earl once?’ I don’t know why they uploaded in January. Anyhoo, eleven months later it’s finally December and I [...]

You’re A Mean One, Mr Grinch (Chords)(PDF) I always use this song as the soundtrack to my pre-Christmas chores: stealing presents, setting light to trees and punching reindeer. So I’ve written up the chords for Jonathan K Miller’s excellent ukulele version.

Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree (Chords)(PDF) The first and most famous version of Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree was by Brenda Lee, but these chords are taken from the version by Roses Polenzani and Cousins.

I don’t want to be mean at Christmas time, but I’m guessing that isn’t [...]

MP3 Silent Night (Tab)(PDF) In the ukulele harmonics post I promised tab for a harmonics only version of Silent Night. I hope you’ve been practicing the stuff in that post, because here it is. And it’s tricky. This version starts off fairly easy. The natural harmonics at the twelfth fret shouldn’t cause too many difficulties. [...]

Dear Santa, I’ve been ever such a good boy this year and if your list says an different it must be an administrative error because the police station was on fire when I got there. So here’s the stuff I want: A tenor KoAloha Sceptre (or at least a concert koa ukulele). Ukulele Hero T-Shirt [...]

Winter Wonderland (Chords)(PDF) Another Christmas song with no reference to Christmas in it but I loved the version by keonepax with Bosko and Honey I had to write it up. In the chord chart I’ve shown the chord inversions that keonepax is playing, but it’s great to mix them up with other inversions. Here are [...]
