So I got to thinking that now Halloween is over, all the poor old pumpkins are surplus to requirements. This is a sad thing :( I think that pumpkins must surely have the blues: The uke used for the slide part is a Riptide from MGM :D

Hey all Just thought I'd post this here, in the small hope that someone spots this stolen uke on a "For Sale" board somewhere. I was lucky enough to win the Baron's Blues contest and won his Martin Backpacker uke. Sven from Argapa Ukes had put a new top on it, with an unusual double...

Dear Geniuses of UU, I'm really hoping you can help me. A long time ago, I stumbled upon a webpage where you could paste in lyrics and chords, and it would generate a lovely chordsheet, complete with chord symbols ABOVE the text in the appropriate place. You could turn this: Some[C]where...

I was inspired by CoLmesUke's fab iPad Mini Uke Parody: http://www.ukuleleunderground.com/forum/showthread.php?72784-Parody-on-the-new-iPad-Mini-commercial-Heart-and-Soul So thought I'd do a very quick lo-fi Stylophone version. Yes, I realise it's not a ukulele, but I couldn't begin to do...

Hello friends :) I saw a heavy metal version of this on FB this morning and thought "that'd be hilarious on a uke". So I worked it out. Well, it made me laugh anyway. :uhoh:

A beautiful song that I can't seem to stop playing, so have posted a cover. Just a quick one-take wonder no multi-tracking todayl :) Suggested to me by John Irving, check out his version too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v09HGGvjAMw The chords are from Ukulele Hunt...

I've been snowed in for three days now, but I'm using the extra days off work to play some music and do a bit of practice. The whole of the UK seems to have ground to a halt, and even tonight's uke jam is cancelled :( Here's my take on the classic, much covered "Winter Wonderland"...

Hello chaps I thought it would be fun to do another children's TV theme for uke and bass (well fun for me at least...) Here's the British cartoon "Pigeon Street" re-created 30 years after it was first shown. I used to love this when I was little. As you'll see I got a bit over-excited...

Hey Guys After many uploading nightmares, I've managed it. I think YouTube may have taken a slight dislike to me... Anyhoo, the Levellers' "Beautiful Day": I get to use my new uke in this one - the mango soprano that Joe Spraggan built me. It's coming along nicely and I'll get a review up...

I've "accidentally" acquired two more ukes recently. Ooops. I thought people might be mildly interested to hear the differences between the different woods used: 1) Solid mango soprano built by Joe Spraggan 2) Vintage koa Kamaka soprano 3) Makapili concert pineapple (all solid hinoki top and...

OK, OK – UAS has struck again. Ooooops. :rofl: So as these things happen, I was not searching for a K-Brand uke or anything really. I just happened to notice this one and it was too much of a bargain to pass up. It started at £300 but I got it for £150 in the end. ($239 USD or €170 EUR.)...

Hello all Sadly, today is the 40th anniversary of the death of Jimi Hendrix. I put together a cover of Angel as a bit of a tribute. I've tried not to be too soppy or sentimental, but Jimi's guitar playing is what made me want to also learn the guitar, which led via a plethora of stringed...

This song is about when you find your ONE TRUE LOVE :) I wrote it on uke, but added bass and glockenspiel as I've got an unfortunate addiction to arranging: (If you'd like the lyrics, click through to YT and they're in the info box.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1koqeEMP_wA Best wishes...

I love the Cardigans and always thought their video of Nina Persson driving along a highway at top speed was rather groovy. This song sums up the 90s for me. I did my own version of the video by splicing two car safety videos from '53 and '61 which were about the perils of driving too fast and...

I thought I'd put this up seeing as it's the dreaded Valentine's Day :D As you might be able to tell by the number of their covers I do, I LOVE the Beatles: This one's got chords to make it all "educational" so feel free to play along. Happy Valentine's Day(!) :biglaugh:

This seems to be an ongoing theme. I've done three other Star Wars tunes, maybe I'll do them all... A lot of fun to do :) And I've even managed to embed a video. Wonders will never cease :biglaugh:

I've reached 250 subscribers, so thought I'd mark the milestone with a much covered THANK YOU song: The Beatles - "With A Little Help From My Friends" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T3bIiogRVM Thank you to all the lovely people who say kind things about my videos and encourage me to get...

This is all James's fault :D I think between us, we've unfortunately started something... Here is "Do Smurfs Cry?" from the 1978 classic album Father Abraham In Smurfland. The soundtrack to my childhood :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTZdiZ47vps Apologies in advance for all the silliness...

I know it's still November, but I just love Christmas :D Here's my murdering of Santa Baby: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRrWeQKobA8 Hopefully more Christmas songs to follow...

You can blame this one on my pals at uke jam night. They started the Buddy Holly thing :D Here's my attempt at: "It Doesn't Matter Anymore" Sorry it's so dark in the video, but it's gone midnight here in the UK... :confused:
