Woah, it’s been a long time since I last updated my blog (6 months infact!)
And I apologise for the few of you that have wanted me to get some more new stuff up…
Well I can now tell you that I should hopefully start posting more frequently!

To mark my return I have covered ‘Glasgow Kiss’ by John Petrucci, the guitarist for prog metal band Dream Theater.

And the tab:

Yes okay, here you go, another random tune for you guys to fiddle about with!

I’ll admit I’m not really into hip-hop/rap (apart from The BEST BAND EVER), but I have taken a shine to this particular song for a while now. I hope you enjoy!

The chords used for the song, just loop throughout, as follows:

G#, Fm, G, Cm

Stevie Wonder/Coolio – Pastime/Gangster Paradise

Coldplay – Life In Technicolour

Here’s the tab for the awesome opening track of Coldplay’s brilliant latest album Viva La Vida.

Life In Technicolour

The chords are:

Bm, G, D, D,
Bm, G, D, D,
Bm, G, D, D,
A, A, D, D

Life in Technicolour is a great starter song for beginners, the tune kicks in at around 40 seconds in:

Coldplay – Clocks

The tab is of the main tune that is played throughout the song, taken from the album “A Rush Of Blood To The Head“

Coldplay -Clocks

Viva La Vida is also worth checking out, Life in Technicolour tab is to follow tomorrow

The Killers – Mr. Brightside

b33d13z — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 18:15:08 +0000

This little riff played in Mr. Brightside, featured on The Killers’ album Hot Fuss, which dominated the summer of 2004, ringing out from teenagers’ phones throughout Britain. The lack of bass from the tinny mobile phones didn’t matter, it was the catchy as hell riff that mattered…

Pacman Theme

Blistered fingers from playing the game Pacman?

Now you can have blistered fingers form playing Pacman on your Uke!

Pacman MIDI

When I think of Pacman, and all the hours of “meep-meep-meep”, the tune always gets stuck in my head.

I could never beat level 2 but now I can play it on the Uke, (that’s an instant win!)

Daft Punk – Aerodynamic

b33d13z — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 19:41:48 +0000

Okay… Something a bit different!

Daft Punk – Aerodynamic (Solo)

Only possible on a guitar? HELL NO!

French Techno duo Daft Punk have pulled some tunes out of their hats, Aerodynamic is no exception!

I have tabbed out the tapping solo, so this is only recommended for intermediate/advanced players. If by any chance you have an electric ukulele give this tune full gain, you’ll need it!

It is suggested you play this as a two hand tapping solo. I may do a video showing you how to play it, with half speed etc.

Give it a go, let me know what you think as to two handed tapping on the ukulele!

Arctic Monkeys – Flourescent Adolescent

The Arctic Monkeys were the first band i decided to tab out after getting my ukulele.

The song is simple enough incorporating chords with the melody played over the top.
