The Kesh - Traditional Irish Jig

Here is another fun traditional Irish jig played on the guitar. The only tricky part with this tune is how to hit the high 'B' note at the end of the second part. I usually slide up to get it or play the 'B' and then slide back down to the 'G'. Here is the TAB for the tune:

Stairway to Ukulele Heaven

I figured out my version of Stairway on the ukulele this morning. I only ran through it a few times before recording the video so please forgive the mistakes and awkward rhythm. I'm playing a KoAloha soprano ukulele with Worth strings. If it sounds a little tinny it's because I'm in the bathroom recording on a cheap Sony point-n-shoot.

Here is the TAB:

This might also go a long way towards explaining the moldy hamburger buns I found in the ceramic flower pot last month.
