Got A Ukulele - REVIEW OF THE YEAR 2011

Phew! What a year for Got A Ukulele - the blog has reached new heights this year with some really exciting features, and is now getting over 21,000 page views a week. As such, I thought I'd do a review of the year 2011!

Firstly, some stats  for the year 2011

370 posts
127 Blogger subscribers
Over 630,000 page views


And now, the highlights!



JANUARY

January saw the start of the "Ukuleles in the movies" series, highlighting some key movies that features the ukulele.  Alongside continuing the Beginners Tips section, January saw the launch of the Got A Ukulele T-Shirt, and, of course, my ebook What Ukulele Players Really Want To Know which went top 10 in the US Kindle Music book chart, and number one in the UK!

We also saw  my Reviews section moving into things other than instruments, with my review of the Volcapo ukulele capo.

And, who can forget, the moment THAT Jake Shimabukuro video went viral?


FEBRUARY

In February we started with Ukulele cartoons and more Ukulele heroes, together with launching my second Got A Ukulele competition to win a Volcapo.

My buddy Rae Carter, who has since gone on to get a recording deal played his first live gigs.

I also hit upon something obvious on my song page and started featuring some Nursery Rhymes.  These are great for absolute beginners to play, and went on to be one of the most popular song pages on the site.


MARCH

March was the month I first started doing Interviews on the site, talking to these great people:

The very lovely folks at UkeJam in Guildford, UK, who went on to play the Guilfest acoustic stage and perform as support act to Hayseed Dixie.

UkeyLove in London

And, Matthew Gunning from the Balham Ukulele Society.

March also saw the first leaked tracks from the forthcoming Eddie Vedder CD to consist of Ukulele Songs


APRIL

April, and I am introduced for the first time proper to the completed work of UK Ukulele Luthier, Darryl Cursley. Simply Stunning was the headline for the initial post, and how right that is.

More details circulated about the Vedder Ukulele CD, I review the fabulous Bosko and Honey Ukulele Safari CD (who generously donated their profits to the Japan Earthquake Appeal), and my Ukulele handbook goes into print!


MAY

More song sheets and beginner tips, and a great competition to win a ukulele strap.  To enter, I asked for your three favourite songs to play on the ukulele.  I then collated all of the entries into a Master List - talk about inspiration - something for everyone on that list.


JUNE

A quieter month, but I still managed to review the long awaited Eddie Vedder - Ukulele Songs CD, which was really rather good.

My ebook managed to get published on the iTunes store and I published a really enjoyable interview with Uke perfomer Tricity Vogue.


JULY

July started with an interview with the absolute king of ukulele blogs, Alastair Wood, of Ukulele Hunt.

My book marked it's six month anniversary too!

July saw the sad loss of Amy Winehouse, and I will not forget playing a slow version of Valerie with our friends at our regular uke jam on the night we heard the news.


AUGUST

This month saw a mad flurry of Ukulele Reviews being added, including

Kanile'a K-1 Tenor
Kauai KUC-70b Concert
Koaloha Pikake Soprano

I was also delighted to complete what has been my most enjoyable interview - talking to Darryl Cursley of Cursley Ukuleles about his building technique and what makes him tick - a lovely bloke.


SEPTEMBER

A real flurry of news in September.  I review the Pono MHC Pro Classic concert ukulele, my uke book goes to Number one!, UkeJam support Hayseed Dixie (yes, that Hayseed Dixie!) and Rae Carter gets his recording deal!


OCTOBER

Lorraine Bow returns from a Hawaiian holiday and shares a superb video showing us around the Kanile'a Factory.  I post my own take on the upswing in ukulele popularity and Got A Ukulele starts a regular Ukulele News roundup.


NOVEMBER

In November I go a bit crazy with videos of Amanda Palmer playing uke (its a thing I have, forgive me...) She releases her Ukulele Anthem (and divides opinions) but also performs this number which I adore.

I also review an unassuming little hyper-cheap ukulele from the Lidl supermarket chain, and it goes on to be one of the most popular pages on the whole of Got A Ukulele...

With my uke collection bulging, I thought it about time to do a full ukulele sound comparison video - this took a lot of planning with many thanks to my daughter passing me the instruments in order!


DECEMBER

The run in to Christmas, and by the looks of the blog hits on Christmas day (almost double what they normally are) I'd say that a fair few new ukulele players existed on Christmas morning! With this in mind I prepared some tips for those getting their first ukulele.

My uke book went half price for the month of December and again topped the bestseller charts.  James Hill puts an excellent track and video out and I was thrilled to see that my buddy Rae Carter got his ukulele EP out in time for Christmas.

And then here we are on New Years Eve, at which point the gorgeous Zooey Deschanel asks us what we are doing.



It's been a really fun year, and I hope I have been able to help some of you beginners along the path of becoming lifelong ukulele players.  I've made some new friends, watched people develop and rise in popularity and I've learned a lot too.

The support and encouragement I have had from readers is greatly appreciated and my thanks go out to those that have contributed, commented, emailed, or just read the blog. All that remains is for me to wish you the happiest of New Years, and here's to more ukulele fun in 2012!

All the best!

Ukulele Ramblings - From guitar to ukulele

Whilst the ukulele is an accessible instrument for those with no musical background whatsoever, it does seem to attract those who have played the big brother instrument, the guitar, before.  I thought therefore I would discuss the links between the instruments, and give you my take on why the uke is a great choice for a guitar player.

I write this as somebody who, before picking up the ukulele a few years ago, had played guitar (both acoustic and electric) for some 20 years previously.  That certainly made my learning of the uke much quicker, and other friends I know who play guitar and have made the transition have said the same. But why?

Before I give you my views, I should make it clear that this is not intended to be a snub to the guitar community. The ukulele is not a replacement for a guitar, it's a complimentary instrument. I still adore playing guitar, and in many ways the guitar can provide options that just aint there with a uke. That said, the uke has many attractions to a guitar player, and if you are a player of six strings reading this, perhaps this may give you the push to try the ukulele.


1. Ease of transition

Standard ukulele tuning shares much with standard six string guitar tuning. In fact the standard GCEA is effectively the same as DGBE strings of a guitar as if you had a capo at the fifth fret.  As such, the relationship between the strings is identical, and the chord shapes will be familiar.  If you fret a D shape on the guitar, that shape works on the ukulele, but because of the higher tuning, plays you a G chord.  If you fret a guitar G chord shape on the uke, you only need one finger as the E and A equivalent guitar strings are not there. As such, you just hold the first string at the third, and you get a C chord.  This ease of transition makes picking up a uke very straightforward for anyone who understands the guitar.

Its not just about music theory though.  A common complaint for many new users are sore fingertips and aching fingers from stretching. If you have played a guitar for long enough you simply won't have to deal with that and you will find the uke very easy on the fingers.  I suppose one gripe for a guitar player is the much smaller fretting area and the need to get those fingers previously accustomed to space cramped together!  Strumming, holding and general technique honed on a guitar will also translate to the ukulele easily.


2. Portability and price

Sure, many guitarists carry their instruments with them wherever they go.  It is a fact though that many guitarists go on the hunt for portable travel guitars that they can easily carry when trekking, camping, going on holiday etc. Why go for a travel guitar when you can go with a ukulele - the ultimate in portability? Ever tried getting a full sized guitar through an airport in hand luggage? No problem with a soprano ukulele - heck, you could probably get away with packing one in a suitcase!

The thing about a uke size is that it REALLY can go anywhere with you. I leave one in my car, take one with me on business trips, can easily sling one over my shoulder on walks to the park.  There is really no excuse to not have a ukulele with you wherever you are, and that in turn leads to it being played more frequently.

Have limited space in your living room? Can't stand a guitar up in it? No problem with a ukulele - I keep one tucked by the side of my sofa - you wouldn't even know it was there, but it's always available for me to pick it up in seconds.

Price is also a factor. Whilst both guitars and ukes have their bargain basement and premium ends to the price scales, it is a fact that you can get a lot of useable ukulele for a lot less than you would spend on a guitar.  The Makala Dolphin for example, whilst not a "pro" instrument by any means has a great sound, is tough as old boots, and retails for a measly £30 in the UK.



3. Quiet times

Ever been in a situation with a guitar where you cannot play it because you are going to disturb someone else? Whilst a ukulele still makes its own noise, its much easier to play at very soft and low volumes than a guitar, whilst still producing worthwhile tone.


4. Fun and social factor

Let's face it, guitars are everywhere - the ukulele holds that "something different" tag.  Speaking as somebody who has played both guitar and ukulele in public jam sessions, I can honestly say that the uke sparks up more interest, generates more questions, and puts more smiles on faces than a guitar ever did!

The smaller sound of a uke also makes it the perfect instrument to play in large groups of people without  getting the police called around for disturbing the peace.  We have played to a crowded pub full of people with half a dozen ukes at full throttle without it taking over the place. That's not something we could sensibly do with six guitars. Volume aside, we couldn't fit them all around the table!



So those are my thoughts.  As I say, the uke doesn't replace the guitar, and the guitar has its own benefits that the uke cannot compete with (range of tones and voices being the obvious) but this guitar / ukulele player thinks that anyone who has fun with six strings should certainly try their hand with four!

The Top music reference book on Amazon!

Well I was fully expecting a surge of hits to the website over Christmas on account of an increase in new ukulele players, but this year things appear to have gone quite bonkers!

As well as the blog doubling its normal hit count on both the 25th and 26th December, there has been a surge of interest in my beginners ukulele guidebook, What Ukulele Players Really Want To Know. In fact it became the number one ranked music reference book on Amazon UK yesterday!

It's great to see the recent upswing in ukulele popularity continuing.  A quick glance on the forums, Twitter, Facebook etc shows just how many new people are talking about the uke - its everywhere!

A huge thank you to anyone who grabbed a copy, and worth me mentioning that it stays at its current half price until the end of 2011.

As well as being on Amazon UK, you can get it on Amazon.com, and in a range of other formats (Sony, Kobo, Nook etc.) on Smashwords.

In the book I make a promise to any reader that if they need any further help, they can get in touch with me via the blog, and I will always answer to the best of my ability.  Get the contact details on the Contact Me page.

Best wishes everyone, hope you have a superb 2012!

Pathetic (But He's Fun) - Ukulele CD REVIEW - Rae Carter

A nice early Christmas present for me, as the new EP CD from Rae Carter arrived with me recently.

As I've blogged before, Rae has been on quite a rise over the last year, moving from being a YouTube performer to getting signed, and now, releasing this EP of 4 tracks - Pathetic (But He's Fun).

The EP was recorded at Quay West Studios and contains three original uke tracks written by Rae himself, plus a cover which I suppose takes him back to the roots he started with.

All the tracks mainly bring Rae and his Uke to the fore, though there is some nice accompaniment on the title track, Pathetic (But He's Fun) - a wry story about the sort of guy we all know, still out living it large thinking he's still 18. The sound is fresh and of the moment and I really like it.

The next two tracks, Poor Old Joe and Market Town are songs I heard in their early incarnations as Rae was working on them.  With these songs, the EP takes a turn from the wry raised eyebrow to angst and a rallying on the state of the nation today - they hark back to early Jam tracks to my mind, and the juxtaposition between the happiest of instruments and the gritty subject matter make a really nice contrast.  Everyone will recognise the Market Town he sings about here.

Final track is cover of a Tiny Tempah song, Pass Out - now I have to admit, this uke player is not au fait with Tinie Tempah, but the track is well performed well and fits in nicely with the rest of the selection.

I'm really impressed and would urge you to give this a try.  The CD EP is available via the contact page on the MLT Management site (email them to ask about how to order) and you can also download the whole EP or individual tracks on iTunes.

I'm watching this player with interest and will be keen to see more tracks of his recorded!

Seasons Greetings from Got A Ukulele

Well, it seems like only yesterday that this ukulele players was wishing my readers a Merry Christmas, how time flies!

It's been a great year for the blog, and I've met plenty of new uke players too. It's great to see new players who have been introduced to the instrument getting pleasure out of playing with others.

All that remains is for me to wish my readers a very, very Merry Christmas, and to pass on my best wishes for the New Year.

Leaning On A Lamppost - Ukulele Chords - George Formby

Surprised I haven't put this song up on here already. It's regarded (wrongly in my view) as a cheesy song, but it's a lovely chord progression and the words are nice too.





LEANING ON A LAMP-POST - GEORGE FORMBY

INTRO (played slowly)

I'm le (C) eaning on a (G7) lamp
Maybe you (C6) think (C#dim)
I look a (G) tramp

Or you may (C) think
I'm han (C6) ging (D) round to
Steal a (G7) car

But (C) no, I'm not a (G7) crook
And if you (C6) think (C#dim)
That's what I (G7) look

I'll tell you (C) why I'm here and
(Am) what my (D7) motives (G7)


VERSE 1 (increase tempo)

I'm (C) leaning on a lamppost
At the corner of the street

In case a (G7) certain
Little lady comes (C) by

Oh (Dm7) me (G7)
Oh (C) my (Am)

I (G) hope the little
(D7) lady comes (G) by


VERSE 2

I (C) don't know if she'll get away
She doesn't always get away

But (G7) anyhow I know that she'll (C) try

Oh (Dm7) me (G7)
Oh (C) my (Am)

I (G) hope the little
(D7) lady comes (G) by


BRIDGE

Theres no other (G7) girl
I would (Dm7) wait (G7) for

But (C) this one
I'd break any (E7) date (Am) for

I (D7) won't have to ask
What she's (Am) late (D7) for

She (G7) wouldn't leave me (Dm7) flat
She's not a (G7) girl like that


VERSE 3

Oh she's (C) absolutely wonderful
And marvellous and beautiful

And (G7) anyone can
Understand (C7) why

I'm (F) leaning on a lamppost
At the (D7) corner of the street

In case a (C) certain
Little (G7) lady passes (C) by



REPEAT FROM VERSE 1 but at faster tempo. At end of first repeat of verse one, replace the final word by with scat "doo da da da de da de da da"!

Ukes For Unicef

I think there is something about the ukulele that works brilliantly with a fundraiser - its such a happy instrument and it also intrigues people. I was therefore delighted to be contacted by the Berkhamsted Ukulele Random Players club (BURP!) in the UK to let me know about their charity bash.

On Saturday 3 March 2012, BURP are hosing the Ukes For Unicef event at the Berkhamsted Civic Centre. Ukes For Unicef is a uke festival in aid of this very very worthwhile charity and will feature performances, workshops, open-mic sessions and jamming.  Entry is by donation to Unicef, and they are proud to have some headline performers including the brilliant Ken Middleton, Krabbers Keef and Hamish Currie.  After the acts there will be an evening "thrash" at the Three Horseshoes pub where the BURP gang hold their club sessions every third Thursday in each month.

Alongside the music there will also be stalls to buy uke merchandise and a raffle.

It runs from 11.30 to 17.30, and you can find more details on the official page HERE.  If you can't make it but want to show your support, they have a Just Giving page too!

Best of luck guys - hope it goes well!
