TAB-U-LEARN / DOMINATOR TABS

Doris Day Ukulele
---
I was googling for Baritone ukulele tablature and found this new site, Tab-U-Learn. It happens to be created by another Australian. He happens to write tablature for (gCEA) Ukulele, (DGBE) Baritone Ukulele and also Harmonica. He says that his tabs are stepping stone for those not quite ready for Dominator's tabs. He has several different genres tabbed out. There is a lot to check out.

For those who want to see Dominator's advanced tabs, look here...
And there's also my buddy, Alistair Wood's, Ukulele Hunt...

Jeff's Sidetrack (Tabs for the Violin)


Robert Plant & Allison Krause

***** THIS IS NOT INTENDED FOR UKULELE PLAYERS *****

When I was in 3rd grade I was taking violin lessons and going to John F. Kennedy elementary school in Newark, CA. My father took me on a visit so see relatives in Colorado. We saw my grandfather, Clinton Reed West, who was a painter and a lover of music. He played the violin and had an extra one that he gave to me. It was a Strativarius copy. I brought it over to Gryphon Strings recently and had a quick appraisal: made in Germany in the 1920's, low $.

I was thinking the other day, if there are tabs for the guitar, banjo, ulkulele, dulcimer then why not the violin / fiddle?

BARITONE TABLATURE || HIRAM BELL


I have been taking ukulele lessons from Hiram Bell in South San Francisco. He is a multi instrumentalist and very precise yet patient instructor. Music takes times, practice and perseverance. I have recently been requested to make use of the Baritone ukulele and Hiram encouraged me to work on it but warned me that it is difficult to find tab for the Baritone. So this blog item is dedicated to finding the aforementioned tablature. The Baritone is standard DGBE tuning but some titles are high-D and some are low-D.

TABLATURE (REVISED)

I would appreciate knowing about other tablature for the baritone and will add links here as I become more aware of them.


Also a little more about Hiram Bell and his range of musical ability. Besides being a multi-instrumentalist (Guitar, Piano, Ukulele, Baritone, Harmonica and about 5 others) he is an artist. He does photo-realism art and also does highly skilled artwork on ukuleles. I saw Hiram perform at Mike DaSilva's ukulele building studio and stage just about a month ago. I really appreciate that he is open and enthusiastic to all genres of music from his native Hawai'ian to Classical, to Rock. You can find out more about Hiram at http://hirambell.wordpress.com/
