If you want a regular dose of tablature to tease your fingers with (and practice counting out notes in measures, like me) then I recommend being on Alistair Wood's e-mail list. He regularly posts rock guitar riff's as part of his daily posting repetoire. Since I mix in a dash of work betwixt my ukulele playing I think of it as work for the brain - a bit of Ukulele Sodoku!

Remember, I am just a humble uker and I can't blast thru these songs as quickly as Al does, But some of the melodies are quite interesting even if slowed down. Al is a first class, top shelf blogger/musician and puts an mp3 of each song with the post. As I write this, I think of course y'all know Ukulele Hunt by now -- but perhaps there's one person still out there.

As a kid I was a philatelist, oh no! - and still love those miniature masterpieces! HU

No Tears In Heaven / Todd B. (doogey9)

Alistair Wood is back posting the best videos. This song was truly heartfelt and beautifully performed by Todd B. (Doogey9 on YT). I have listened to several of his songs, read some of his responses about the good sounds coming from cheap ukuleles, and check out his el cheapo foot percussion accompaniment. Great fun! We all should have a sign for "ukulele break time"

Al always get me started with some great stuff to research.

I have been thinking about those touches, "riffs" and "runs" that bring sweetness to a song. This video has those. I would like to explore this more for different keys. I think when Uncle Larry Martin gets back from Hawaii I am going to have to pay him a visit.

IT IS SO VERY TRUE...
