Bruno Mars – When I Was Your Man (Tab)

Bruno Mars – When I Was Your Man (Tab) Despite it having over 900 million views on YouTube, I’d never heard this song before it was suggested by Patreon Taras and a surprisingly large number of YouTube commenters. But it’s a catchy song and has some nice elements to it. I particularly like his vocal […]

Gear I Use in 2020

It’s been many years since I did a gear list. So here’s a rundown of the ukes, strings and various other things I use. Ukuleles Main Ukes: For most of my videos I use a tenor Ohana TK-35G. The pointy uke I sometimes use is a tenor KoAloha Sceptre. Practice Uke: I’ve been enjoying using […]

Tracy Chapman – Fast Car (Tabs)

Tracy Chapman – Fast Car (Tabs) Considering what a massive hit this was, it’s not structured at all like a pop song. The verses are a jumble of words and the chorus doesn’t hit until two minutes into the song. But the guitar riff and the “You’ve got a fast car” refrain are both great […]

Amazing Grace (Tab)

Amazing Grace (Tab) I was inspired to take on this one after watching Andrea Bocelli at Easter near the start of the lockdown. There are two run-throughs of the melody here. The first uses basic chords (although sometimes in inversions you might not be familiar with). The second uses jazzier chords that are sometimes a […]

The Noveltones – Left Bank Two (Vision On Theme)(Tab)

The Noveltones – Left Bank Two (Tab) You might might not recognise the name of this but the tune is best known to Brits my age as the Vision On/Take Hart gallery theme. And to less grey people might recognise it as the theme to the intro level of LittleBigPlanet. This arrangement is heavily focussed […]

Pixies – Where Is My Mind? (Tab)

Pixies – Where Is My Mind? (Tab) This song is the most requested so far by Patreons. I wasn’t sure whether it would work on uke but the Patreons were correct and, with a few adjustments, it works well. Before I started working on this song, I didn’t full appreciate how unusually placed the melody […]
