Watch my favourite ukulele videos of the week after the ‘more’ tag including Joe Brown’s appearance on Jools Holland.

Uke Hunt has made it to the top spot of Boat Paddle Ukulele’s Top 50 Ukulele Sites. A huge thanks to everyone who has read, commented and email. I’m chuffed. John King takes a quality over quantity approach to his blogging. He’s just put up his seventh post in a year: A Strum Through Ukulele […]

Ovation’s Applause ukuleles are probably the most popular electric ukes around. Ukulele4u are currently selling the new Applause Tenor ukulele. Personally, I much prefer the natural wood look of these ukes to the black finish of other models. On the Martin front, there’s a Martin 2K and a Martin Tiple. The most unusual uke up […]

If you want to play Street Spirit on the ukulele, just forget it. Impossible. Can’t be done. Having said that… …if you make enough changes, you can move it from ‘impossible’ to the merely ‘too difficult to bother attempting’. With that in mind, I’ve tabbed out a difficult version based on the guitar part and […]

Hammer-Ons and Pull-Offs Hammer-Ons Hammer-ons are produced by plucking a note on the uke then ‘hammering on’ a finger at a higher fret – making the sound of the higher note without picking it. You can watch this being done here. Example 1 In tab, hammer-ons are shown by an arch between the two notes […]

Colbie Caillat – Tied Down (Chords) With its laid back island vibes, it no surprise that Colbie Caillat‘s summer hit Bubbly inspired plenty of ukulele covers, despite using the term ‘bubbly face’ as a compliment. Her album also features a similarly laid back catchy tune played on uke: Tied Down. It’s also very simple to […]

I’ve gone and set up a community to run alongside Uke Hunt. It’s called (rather cheesily, I admit) YouKulele. It’s got a bunch of web 2.0 type features. You can see them in action on my profile here. You can upload mp3s, videos and photos, blog and make friends. The message board, and this is […]

Ukulele de Chocobo (Chords) Final Fantasy is one of those games that completely passed me by and I’ve never actually played any of the Police Academy sized oeuvre. What didn’t pass me by is the fact that ukuleles crop up in the ninth version of the game. Ukulele de Chocobo is the tune that starts […]

Far too many videos this week. A couple of Hawaiian masters, a ukulele/melodica cover of Beck, GUGUG, a bit of English folk music, loads of other stuff. Click More to see them all.

Uke Hunt’s Rag Bag is a new page I’ve put up of tab and chords I’ve done but not posted (yet). There are various reasons why I haven’t posted them, so you’ll just have to take your chances. Let’s Play Ukulele is a really interesting new site. It takes chords from guitar sites and adds […]
