Harry Styles – As It Was (Tab) I hadn’t heard Harry Styles’s As It Was before it cropped up as a Patreon request and my hopes weren’t high. Turns out it’s a pretty great song. Very catchy with a melancholy edge. Intro: A bit of Take On Me action with this riff. Once the chords […]
R.E.M. – Endgame (Tab) An instrumental track from R.E.M.’s classic Out of Time. Intro: Starting off with thumb and two finger picking. I love the way this riff works with open strings on the uke. So much so, I considered inserting into the song itself. In the end, I saved it for the outro. Verse: […]

Which is confusing as that album could do with a dozen songs cutting but not this one. This arrangement is mercifully easy after the nightmare of Send Me on My Way. This […]
Rusted Root – Send Me on My Way (Tab) Rusted Root’s Send Me on My Way was a bit of a flop when it was first released. But it’s jaunty nature and semi-comprehensible lyrics have given it success in soundtracks to Ice Age, Matilda and that millipede. There are a lot of rapid notes to […]
