Bastion is an absolutely phenomenal game. In fact, it’s up there as one of my favourite games of all time, that’s how good it is.
A while ago, the sheet music was released for free on the internet by the composer (a very nice chap called Darren Korb) so these aren’t hard to find. Anyhoo, here are the simplified ukulele chords I’m playing for my cover – which can be found up on YouTube right now.
Read MorePretty Noose is not an easy song to play. Even my simplified arrangement ( which has all the widdly bits cut out) is pretty tricky to play. And yet, here we are, with a video uploaded plus some cool harmonies/layered vocals, and the chords as a printable sheet.
Come hither, sweet reader, and get yourself some chords for a simple arrangement of Pretty Noose, by Soundgarden.
Read MoreNEW YEAR Y’ALL!
At some point I should probably write something self-reflective about the new decade, given that I’m full of thoughts and ideas and whatnot about it.
In the meantime, please accept this cover and chordsheet for the biggest grower from Taylor Swift’s most recent album: the titular track, Lover.
Read MoreSo here it is, Merry Christmas, everybody’s playing songs!
Late in the game, but I finally got around to updating the Advent Calendar Songbook from last year, and it’s ready for you to enjoy. Come get you the ukulele and guitar chords to a cornucopia of Christmas Choons.
Read MoreI wrote a corny-but-earnest Christmas ballad, because I’m a sentimental old fool. This year it was a Christmas ballad (because everything I’m cool with sharing is a ballad right now, seemingly), next year will be a Christmas bop, and the year after that I’m going for a Christmas Badass Bass Banger.
I may need help with the latter, but who knows by then?
Read MoreThe Muppet Christmas Carol is my absolute favourite Christmas movie. It's the best, and anyone who says otherwise can get into the frozen sea.
It Feels Like Christmas is the song that the Ghost of Christmas Present sings...and it's hard as balls to play. (For me at least.)
Come get you some chords for this epic Muppety Christmas carol…
Read MoreI wrote this song about a week or so ago, and since then I’ve had it playing in my head a few times, at random.
It's the last non-Christmas song I'm planning on uploading for a while, so...let's do this!
Read MoreAdvance apologies to everyone who was around in the early 90s in the UK, when this song was everywhere, for a very long time. It’s just such a gorgeous song, and sounds pretty nice when I sing it, so it had to be done sooner or later.
Come get you the chords for my acoustic ukulele cover of Promise Me.
Read MoreThis is the first song of mine that I ever played for anyone other than my Kind-Eyed-Boy. I did it at an open mic night and royally messed up after the bridge. Of course, nobody could tell, because nobody knew how it was supposed to go except me.
Read MoreI sure as heck can’t fingerpick. It’s just not in my DNA. Adam Melchor sure can though, which makes covering Metadata, my fave of his songs, kind of tricky. It means you have to strum either really slow, which kind of kills it, or reallyfastandprobablymessitup.
Come get you my simple chords so you can play this lovely song at your leisure.
Read MoreOver the past couple of years I’ve taken to making photographs. Given how important photography is to my life, and my identity as an artist now, it seems only right that my blog should house some of my favourite images.
Some of them are pretty good. Go to my Photography section now to check them out! (I’m planning on adding a section for my paintings soon, too.)
But what would a blog post of mine be without some protracted self-reflection?
Read MoreDon’t Know Why is one of my special songs. The ones I do at karaoke, or used to bagsy on Singstar, or just sing along to when I want to feel like I can sing. It makes me feel like I can.
Do come away with me and get some ukulele chords for Don’t Know Why…
Read MoreI love me some dodie: she's one of the women who inspired me to start my YouTube channel, and to start sharing the songs I write. She's an advocate for a bunch of stuff dear to my heart, and she writes prose well, too. I think she's awesome.
Human is an fantastic track off an excellent EP, and it works well played solo. Come get you some simple ukulele chords...
Read MoreAnother of mine, and one I penned a good while ago now as an exercise in writing something different: it’s a slow, slow, slow song, that’s restricted to a simple melody more-or-less throughout.
Come hear a song called Pegasus.
Read MoreKaze No Ne, or Sound of the Wind is a beautiful song from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, a fantastic co-op title for GameCube back in the day, and set to release next year on a bunch of other platforms.
I’ve often thought about sorting some chords for it, and sat down one night a few months ago to hash it out. Here’s my arrangement of chords for ukulele…
Read MoreHere’s another song of mine. This one has a kind of Dua Lipa vibe which I’m digging. Your mileage may vary…
Read MoreWorking out needs the right music, and never more than on the boring, boring bike. Well, hell’s bells my fellow mistake-makers, do I have some great cardio bike music for you…
Read MoreI’ve written a load of songs I’m extremely proud of, but that I’m not ready to share yet. Here’s one that I’ve written, that I’m really proud of, but for some reason I’m ready to share.
Ready?
Read MoreThis song was originally, as far as I figure, sung by a choirboy. He did a great job. Me? Well, I am not a 12-year-old boy.
I sang it anyway.
This is the main end credits theme from Ico, and it’s absolutely beautiful. It still gives me chills. Come get the guitar/ukulele chords!
Read MoreI did warn you that there’d be a bunch of Billy Joel on here. What can I say? I really like the guy’s music.
New York State of Mind is one of those songs that has just the right whistful feel for a solo acoustic version on ukulele or guitar. Come get you some chords.
