Mariah Carey – All I Want for Christmas is You (Tab) It’s impossible to get away from this song around this time. And this blog isn’t going to give you any respite. But it has been 10 years since I posted the chords so it’s about time for the tabs. This arrangement starts off with […]

Elton John – Your Song (Chords) Today I’m writing up Parada de Tettas by The Vengaboys. But then again, no. I’m doing this year’s John Lewis ad Elton John’s Your Song. The arrangement uses a capo on the first fret to make things easier. But it’s still not completely plain sailing as there are some […]

Lana Del Rey – Venice Bitch (Tab) Happy Thanksgiving to all the Americans. And happy No-Americans-on-the-Internet Day to everyone else. Today I’m thankful for baritone ukuleles.

Christmas eBooks I’ve written 3 collections of easy Christmas tabs: How to Play Christmas Ukulele, Christmas Ukulele 2 and Christmas Ukulele 3. You can […]
St Vincent – New York (Tab) I’m mostly into St Vincent for the wild guitar playing and shuffle dancing. But this beautiful, straightforward ballad immediately struck me as prime for a ukeing. And other than a few big pinkie-stretches it works very neatly. I’m mostly playing this very loosely without any strict pattern. In the […]

Jake Shimabukuro has revealed the secret to his virtuosity. A piece by David Farrier (the documentarian behind Dark Tourist and Tickled) on a guy who went viral after being snapped playing ukulele for his humping dogs turns completely insane. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra are worried that ukuleles are so popular that no one will play […]
The Beatles – Hey Jude (Tab) Technically, I shouldn’t be posting this on White Album week. But it was recorded during the White Album sessions and it is one of the best (possibly the best) Beatles song. If you’re dying for a White Album song have a go at the Blackbird tab. I’ve kept the […]
