My tribute to the mighty Serge Gainsbourg! :)

Hi chaps and chapesses, long time no see! Salut les gars ça fait longtemps! A little clawhammer medley with Cripple Creek imbedded in the middle. Based on the tab from Aaron Keim's fine tutorial. :cool:

A few songs from our mini-set at our local Ukulele Festival :) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLX7WmoCs3PfqXY3qySmzeMYCF76FeaMvJ A bit patchy but Wagon Wheel probably came out the best

by the late great Jacques Brel More an exercise in trying out my french than anything else. Je vous remercie

From our recent rehearsal. I like playing this but find it hard to sing - any tips?

Off to a ukulele festival at the Duke of Wellington in Shoreham-by-Sea today! Here's our rehearsal of La La Blues from last night. Love this song is it's a riot to play. It's just A, E7, D, D7 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q69NRE_KnhU EDIT: Hmm video keep starting at the end...not sure why...

Hey look at this cute little guy. Baby seagull - he fell of my roof and has been stuck in my garden for a couple of days. Tried to get him back on the roof but he freaks out as do his parents so he's off to a sanctuary today. I'll kind of miss him to be honest. :)

I just tried one of these in the local guitar shop (GAK) and was quite impressed. It had a snappy retro sound and made my Formby stylings sound much more authentic. Any idea how it weighs up against other modern banjoleles? I have a firefly but personally don't love it. This felt much more 'me'...

I gave in and treated myself to a similar combo - All red for me though! Well, it was my birthday yesterday. :)

Nice, I like it! :) Spotted a typo on the Gm6 though - think you mean 0201.

My take on the version taught by the Brilliant Ukulelezaza: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ix2LXfkAqf4 (see description for link to the tutorial) :)

Good stuff Ian! Don't suppose you've ever come across 'Half a moon (is better than no moon')' from 'Honeymoon Lane'. I've been searching for that for ages to no avail.
