Info click here to view more info

(from Dominator's site ) A little about me: Primarily a self taught guitarist, pursuing the ukulele for approximately six years, I have spent the last couple of years concentrating on the ukulele. Not being able to find tablature for the ukulele in the same quality and format as was (and still is) available for the guitar is the motivation behind this site. Since books containing ukulele tab were not available, I decided I would try to transcribe the songs myself and make them available for others to learn from as well.

Bag End Boys

Artist Info

“The Bag End Boys write contemporary pop songs that feature melodies that sometimes swirl in neat, unexpected ways. They can also cut a fine cover version of the Beatles classic, "The Word." Most amazing is how two ukes and two voices can sound so full. Further proof that the ukulele can rock and pop like its six string relative.” - Jim Beloff, Flea Market Music

Azo Bell

Artist Info

“Aussie Azo Bell is one of the best uke players of the new-uke generation.  Along with band mates Billy Milroy on single string bass and Tim Reeves on snare drum, Azo shows off some amazing single note picking and strumming that are one part vaudeville, and one part modern jazz.  Includes many standards Rag Mop, Foggy Day In London Town, Misty, and a slew of originals including the instant uke classic Spider Walk.  Serious chops mixed with a wicked sense of humor.” - - Jim Beloff (Review of 'Lost In Spice' CD), Flea Market Music, California.

Ramon Camarillo II

Artist Info

(From artist's web site) Living in the D.C. area since 1996, Ramon came from Hawai’i, bringing his ukulele and his dynamic wheel-throwing style.  In Hawai’i, he had been refining his skills in the art of raku, exhibiting, and winning awards for nearly 20 years.  Once on the mainland, he started gaining national recognition in the clay industry.  When he's not working out of the prestigious Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, or Lee Arts Center in Falls Church, Ramon is based out of his home studio/gallery in Vienna (all in Northern Virginia).

Ben Chong

Artist Info click here to view more info

Ben Chong taught himself to play the 'ukulele when he was about 11 years old. After nine years or so, he virtually put the 'ukulele away for some thirty-five years. When I met him in 1964, he was the guitarist with the Ali'is, the band that backed up Don Ho. In 2000, I invited him to be one of the four artists in "The Art of Solo 'Ukulele", a concert series that led to a CD and a public TV special. These events revitalized his interest in the 'ukulele, resulting in his album.

Ben Chong plays a baritone size, cutaway Ko'olau 'Ukulele. He has performed in Hawaii and throughout the world with the Don Ho Band for many years, becoming one the classic 'ukulele players of our day.

Artist Info click here to view more info

(except from The Canadian Encyclopedia ) During Doane's tenure as supervisor of music for the Halifax School Board (1967-84), he changed school music programs dramatically, using the ukulele as an inexpensive and practical teaching instrument for children and adults. His unconventional approach, vindicated by the success of Halifax school bands and orchestras in concerts and competitions across Canada, has produced a model of public music education worthy of study by educational jurisdictions elsewhere. In 1984 Doane became associate professor at Nova Scotia Teachers College. He is much in demand as a consultant and leader of workshops across Canada and in the USA.
