The Kooks – Seaside

These are adapted from some guitar chords I found on Chordie. They didn’t sound exactly right so I played around with them a little bit.
Here’s my version: Seaside Chords
For the last verse, they do some finger picking along with the strumming. I emulate it by fretting the chords and then picking this pattern: (I’m referring [...]

Argyle Smile – Every Song

Hey, so this sounds good to me, but I don’t think it’s perfect. My favorite track from last weeks UkeTube
Also, you can hear him moving around on the A-string at the end of some of the progressions, sometimes moving up to Cadd9, and other times going up to the 7th fret. I think [...]

Zutons / Amy Winehouse Mark Ronson : Valerie

Verse 1
     C                                                                                                   Dm
Well sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water
      C                                                                                                                                   Dm
And I think of all the things, what you’re doing and in my head I make a picture
Chorus
F                                                                             Am

Harry Potter Theme Tab

Before I learned how to read tabs, I would track finger movements and then play from memory. This is how I learned to play the Harry Potter theme on my ukulele.  Click on this link to watch a video of me playing it: HP Theme
Since then, I’ve learned how to do tabs and stuff so [...]

Vertigo Smyth – Comfort Me

The standout track for me from this Saturday’s UkeTube was Vertigo Smyth’s Comfort Me.  I’m not the savviest at this chord charting business but Comfort Me seemed pretty simple.  Hopefully I didn’t completely botch it.  Oh, and any help on the lyrics would be appreciated, I basically made these up… UPDATE 7/11: Thanks all, [...]
