A somewhat trying year for me, but one that is drawing to a close now in festive spirit. So now a time for me, and the rest of you, to spend quality days with friends, loved ones and family. Hopefully with a ukulele in hand!

A Merry Ukulele Christmas
As I hinted in my last review, Got A Ukulele is now taking a very short break for the Christmas holidays in order that I can spend some time with family! The reviews will return in earnest in the first week of 2020!

And if Christmas isn't your thing, perhaps happy hanukkah, joyous kwanzaa, eid mubarak or yuletide felicitations... Whichever, just be nice to each other!
Enjoy yourselves, play some music, spread some joy and be sure to let me know about any new ukuleles you found under the tree this year! And thanks ever so much for your continued support this past year.
I'll be back at the turn of New Year with a look back over my favourite posts of 2016, and then I have a host of new instrument reviews and articles lined up for the year ahead!

Merry Christmas from Got A Ukulele!
Well what a year, time now to relax with the family and loved ones. Maybe play a ukulele or two!

Sleigh bells [F] ring, are you listenin'?
In the [C] lane, snow is glistening.
A [C7] beautiful [Gm] sight, we're [C7] happy [Gm] tonight,
[G] Walking in a [C7] winter wonder [F] land.
Gone [F] away is the blue bird
Here to [C] stay is the new bird
He [C7] sings a love [Gm] song as [C7] we go [Gm] along,
[G] Walking in a [C7] winter wonder[F]land.
[A] In the meadow [D] we can build a [A] snowman,
Then pretend that [D] he is Parson [A] Brown.
[C] He'll say, "Are you [F] married ?" We'll say, [C] "No man,
But [D7]you can do the [G7] job when you're in [C7] town."
Later [F] on we‟ll conspire As we [C] dream by the fire,
To [C7] face un-[Gm]-afraid the [C7] plans that we [Gm] made,
[G] Walking in a [C7] winter wonder[F]land.
[A] In the meadow [D] we can build a [A] snowman,
Then pretend that [D] he‟s a circus [A] clown.
[C] We‟ll have lots of [F] fun with mister [C] snowman
Until the [D7] other [G7] kiddies knock him [C7]down.
Later [F] on we‟ll conspire As we [C] dream by the fire,
To [C7] face un-[Gm]-afraid the [C7] plans that we [Gm] made,
[G] Walking in a [C7] winter wonder[F]land.
[G] Walking, [C7] walking in a winter wonder-[F]-land. [C7] [F]

This one can either be very easy to play (just strummed) or complex if you want to fingerpick over the melody. Either way though, it is essentially the same all the way through. Have fun - video at the end to play along to. Love this song!

[C] Diamonds [D] in the [G] snow [C] [D] sparkle
[G] [C] [D]

You may find a couple of these chords a little odd, but the Eb-5 is really quite easy (fingered 0330), and the Am7-5 is fingered 2333 (though you could get away with playing a B7 there.. have fun! Video at the end to play along with!
[G] I don't want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need
[C] I don't care about the presents, [Eb-5] underneath the Christmas tree

[G] I don't want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need
[C] I don't care about the presents, [Eb-5] underneath the Christmas tree
[G] I don't need to hang my stocking there upon the fireplace
[C] Santa Claus won't make me happy with a [Eb-5] toy on Christmas day
CHORUS
[G] I won‟t ask for much this Christmas, I won't even wish for snow
[C] I'm just gonna keep on waiting [Eb-5] underneath the mistletoe
[G] I won't even make a list and send it to the North Pole for Saint Nick
[C] I won't even stay awake to [Eb-5] hear those magic reindeer click
[G] 'Cause I just want you [B7] here tonight, [Em] holding on to me [Am7-5] so tight
[G] What more can [E7] I do, baby
[Am7] All I want for [D] Christmas is [G] you, you baby Em C D
[B7] All the lights are shining so [Em] brightly everywhere
[B7] And the sound of children's [Em] laughter fills the air
[Eb-5] And everyone is singing I [G] hear those [E7] sleigh bells swinging
[Am] Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you [D] please bring my baby to me
[G] Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas, this is all I'm asking for
[C] I just want to see my baby [Eb-5] standing right outside my door
[G] I just want you for my [B7] own, [Em] more than you could [Am7-5] ever know

Ryan sent me a copy of his book and I have been playing through it lately. In my opinion he has presented a rather nice collection of songs. There are 34 songs in here, but what I find really nice is that he has presented most of them in multiple keys to ensure that any group should be able to find a version that suits their vocal ranges. Thats a really neat idea that you don't normally see in song books that kind of tell you to 'play it this way or the highway'. He also went another step further and as well as providing standard GCEA chord boxes at the top of each sheet, he has provided Baritone chord boxes too. Something else you don't see all that often.
If you take a look at the sample below, you will see that the songs are presented simply, but rather nicely done. It all looks very clean and professional. This is NOT a tablature book - but provided is the basic melody in standard musical notation, together with the lyrics and the chord changes above them. All you really need to get going if you are going carol-ing.
They are simple versions of the songs, and the book bills itself as being '3-4 chord classics' - and that is perfect for beginners or those wanting something simpler when playing door to door in the cold!
It's a traditional selection of songs which will suit most purposes. I would have liked to see some more modern stuff in there to break up the traditional - perhaps a 'Rocking Around The Christmas Tree' or 'Blue Christmas', but it does what it says on the tin. I also don't personally go for the religious stuff, but that is just me, and I understand inclusion in a Christmas book, but there is plenty to choose from that is more universal. Lets take a look at the songs that are included.
Away in a Manger
Boars Head Carol
Bring a Torch, Jeannette Isabella
Christmas is Coming!
Coventry Carol
Deck the Hall
Ding Dong! Merrily on High!
The First Noel
Friendly Beasts
Go Tell it On the Mountain
Good Christian Men Rejoice
Good King Wenceslaus
Here We Come A-Wassailing
Holly and the Ivy
In the Bleak the Midwinter
Infant Holy, Infant Lowly
Jingle Bells
Jolly Old St. Nicholas
Joy to the World
March of the Three Kings
Masters in this Hall
O Come, Little Children
Once in Royal Davids City
Rocking Carol
Shepherd! Shake Off Your Drowsy Sleep
Silent Night
Sing We Now of Christmas
Sussex Carol
Twelve Days of Christmas
Up on the Housetop
Wassail, Wassail, All Over the Town!
We Wish You a Merry Christmas
Wexford Carol
What Child is This?
No confusing this with any other sort of songbook then! If you are building a club songbook for the festive season, it is definitely worth a look. The book is available on AMAZON as well as a few other places.
Good stuff Ryan!

Christmas on 34th Street - Christmas songbook REVIEW
Well, Christmas is coming (like it or not!), and I suspect that uke players the world over are considering songbooks for christmas events and carol singing. So you spend your time collecting tatty chord sheets from here, there and everywhere on the internet... How about a nicely presented collection all in one place?

If so, I hope you found this site and it gets you on your way! Up at the top you will find some navigation links to various pages such as the Chord Chart Page (essential!), the beginners tips page for answers to many questions and, (because you want to get playing) a big list of songs with chords, most of which are easy for beginners to play right here.
The uke is a great gift to receive and I sincerely hope you stick with it, join a club, play with others, or just yourself, but most of all, MAKE MUSIC!
I am always here to help!
If you want more information, either email me, or you may like my range of ukulele beginners guides that are available on Amazon. They are not tutor books - there are far better teachers than I, but they are intended to be read alongside them, filling in the blanks that most tutor books miss out. In other words - Got A Ukulele? - Have a read!

Chords That Ukulele Players Really Want To Know

Mele Kalikimaka from Got A Ukulele
I have been on the lookout for a good Christmas ukulele video or song to share with you as a means of saying 'Merry Christmas from Got A Ukulele' - then a Facebook friend Jan Utman shared this video with me.
So... Merry Christmas, or, make that Mele Kalikimaka! Hope you all have a great holiday, a great time with family and friends, and have a bit of a ukulele strum at least once or twice!

Suspect the only chord that might be unusual to beginners is the D6 - which is played as a complete barre at the second fret - in other words including the A string that you normally wouldn't in a normal D
[D] Oooooooo [Em] Merry Christ[A]mas Santa
[D] Christmas comes this time each year [Em] Oooooooo [A] ooooooo
[Em] Well, way [A] up North [Em] where the [A] air gets cold
[D] There's a tale [D6] about [D] Christmas that [D6] you've all been told
[Em] And a real [A] famous [Em] cat all [A] dressed up in red
[D] And he [D6] spends the [D] whole year [D6] workin' out on his sled
[G] It's the little Saint Nick, little Saint Nick
It's the [Em] little Saint Nick...[A] little Saint Nick
Just a [Em] little [A] bobsled, [Em] we call it ol' Saint Nick
But [D] she'll walk [D6] a toboggan [D] with a [D6] four speed stick
She's [Em] can[A]dy apple [Em] red with a [A] ski for a wheel
And [D] when Santa [D6] hits the gas, [D] man, [D6] just watch her peel.
[G] It's the little Saint Nick, little Saint Nick
It‟s the [Em] little Saint Nick...[A] little Saint Nick
[G] Run run reindeer
[C] Run run reindeer ahhhhhhhh
[G] Run run reindeer [E] Run run reindeer [break] we don't miss no one
He's [Em] hauling [A] through the [Em] snow at a [A] frightenin' speed
With [D] half a [D6] dozen [D] deer with [D6] a-Rudy to lead
[Em] He's gotta wear [A] his goggles [Em] 'cause the [A] snow really flies
And [D] he's cruisin' [D6] every [D] pad with [D6] a little surprise
[G] It's the little Saint Nick, little Saint Nick
It's the [D] little Saint Nick...[B7] little Saint Nick
Ahh[Em] [A] [Em] [A] [Oooooooo] Merry Christmas [D]Santa
[D] Christmas comes this time each year X2

Brittni Paiva - The Christmas Song
I can honestly say that Brittni Paiva's style of playing (the feeling she puts in to her picking) is quickly making her one of my favourite ukulele players to listen to.
