Hi Folks,

For people new to the ukulele fraternity I thought I would publish a list of sites that I have found to be very helpful, and excellent in content.

UKULELE SOLO TABS:

Modern:

The Dominator site has a great selection of modern tabs. These are for the more advanced player. Quite a few of the tabs are specifically for low 4th string tunings. The vistuoso, James Hill, has allowed Dominator to publish his work, and James uses non re-ntrant tuning on most of his tunes.

Al Wood at Ukulele Hunt publishes great riffs from modern songs, and learning them is a fantastic method for improving your technique and knowledge of ukulele solo playing.

Folk:

Richard Hefner at Ezfolk has written some very good tabs, mostly for high ‘G’ tuning, however his ‘Ez Chord Melody Solos’ can be played on a low 4th tuning and sound excellent.

Mixed:

I like the tabs written by Curt Sheller, and most of them are for low 4th string tuning:

Jazz:

Excellent jazz arrangements for ukuleles by Mark Occhionero:

UKULELE SONG SHEETS

The best site I have come across for ukulele song sheets is at Doctor Ukes. It is not only the choice of songs I like, but also the way he has laid out the chord diagrams over the lyrics, very clear, easy to read and the chords are well chosen.

Another great site for ukulele song sheets is ‘Ukulele Boogaloo’:

WHERE TO ASK QUESTIONS:

EZfolk have a great forum for asking questions on ukulele matters:
http://ezfolk.com/forums/forum19/

It also has a forum specifically for Baritone Ukes:
http://ezfolk.com/forums/forum43/

Al Wood from Ukulele Hunt has just set up another great site, specifically for you to ask questions about ukuleles:

    Great stuff all around. I think you must be from Australia. I have met a few players from Australia: Terry Chapman (we’ve been communicating on e-mail, he’s Bearetube on YouTube and posts Cliff Edwards stuff there.) I have also seen Bosko & Honey and Rose Turtle Ertler performing in California.

    I’ll be working on some of your songs. I have been trying to work on a Baritone version of Sleepwalk that I found on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGpfzcHmvUk You might find it interesting too.
