This originally started out as a Ukulele site... but it has morphed to include some Scuba Diving Videos and also some other random instruments like a Concertina and a Mountain Dulcimer. In recent years my prime instrument 'Guitar' has resurfaced along with some open tuning.
These music videos are pretty basic and straight forward.
They are simply recorded on an iPad, iPhone or Go-pro and launched without much sound editing or frills.
It's kind of like busking really.
They are just recorded live somewhere and posted to encourage someone out there to find something useful.
Ukulele an instrument that can kind of cover a lot of ground from Coldplay, Ball Park Music, Billy Joel, Cold Chisel, Metric and Elbow to Jazz swing classics and Missy Higgins. Easily transportable, a generous community and a sweet sound that even native birds seem to enjoy. " Music self played is happiness self made"
I have added lyrics, chords and occasionally TAB outlines to a few songs.

We are always just on the edge of a new reconciling threshold. Some days you can feel it as close as opening your eyes. On others, as distant as the furthest star. I am a new covenant person... a new promise, a new relationship, a new sense of self and larger world... A World Waits (C) John Sharpe Noisy Neighbourhood Music 2024

Note: Error in Video lyric in verse 2 - should be 'heels' - not 'heals'...yikes. Up We Go the Valley Way: All my best ideas had flown Packed their bags and ...

Guns Coldplay: DADEAE Tuning basic tab in notes

A great open-tuning song... Brilliantly delivered by Chris Martin on the Coldplay 'Everyday Life' Album. He is a master of alternative tunings! This has been buried for a while- recorded during covid lockdown back in June 2020 and then apparently forgotten until today. I like the sunny outside vibe of this version. Basic Tab: Guns Capo on 3rd Fret DADEAE tuning Fret positions 6th string : D 3 3...

(C) John Sharpe Noisy Neighbourhood Music The Christmas 2023 Advent journey has been framed by prophetic scripture and the ongoing conflicts of Ukraine, and Gaza, the slow death of democracy and the shifting of empires. In a world of both chaos and amnesia, it is good to find fresh foundations.

I come back to this every Christmas... it always reminds me of the bigger church - the sojourners of faith beyond the walls and the rituals. The church of the dust and the alley way.
When the Spirit Walks in the Room: Originally by Bruce Cockburn: Chords and lyrics in notes
Просмотров 391Год назад
I have always loved the depth, lyricism, individuality and power of Bruce Cockburn's songs...This is off his most recent album and it holds open a generous tent of welcome. I will need to live a whole bunch more to get anywhere near his well-inhabited voice. For some extra context: Some reflection on 'The Loom'- from Patti Smith commenting on William Blake. “The eternal loom spins the immaculat...

Hi John, I’m hoping to learn this song on a Merlin dulcimer… would you be so kind to share your tab?
Amazing cover tutorial sir!
🖤🖤
Beautiful
So good, this song play my father when i was child
1st comment for John Sharpe!
I like what you've done here. Would love to hear it on better equipment.
Perfect brooo I’m so high!
Very nice, thanks for posting
So, G and C are tuned an octave apart and A and E are tuned in unison. Love the song, I think I'll try to add that one to my songbook. Thanks, you have a cool channel. Good luck.
Great cover. I guess the string pairs are tuned in unison and you are using a low G. Cool sound
I've seen Eric Bibb play several times, what a great performer.
That was fun. Thanks for the song, hey cool uke.
Very Good!!! 👍👍👍✌️
Good song good performance 🎸🎵
Hey, thanks for sharing. I heard a song but for the life of me can not find it again it sounded just like this song to the point it was clearly influenced/copied. Any idea what it could have been? When I heard it i said DAMN I will need to check if Cool Dry Place was written by the Wilburys.
I love this. Great work my dude.
Thank you for posting chords and chord variations.
thanks this is on my to-learn list!
Nossa! Impactante😱
Beautiful voice! Thank you to the video 😊
Hi...do you do any other Split Enz or Crowded House ukelele songs...strumming. ty

Great work! Nice to see a fellow lefty play it!
Very Nice Sound!
Wow
Should I just do this song?

Wonderful. I’m thinking of getting a dulcimer to play songs like this. Have you tried playing Arrows of Light by Bruce Cockburn too?
Great job! One of my fav Leon songs. Thanks so much...
Beautiful. Thank you for this!!
Thanks for sharing! If you have a second, I recorded a cover of The Beatles. As a fellow music lover, I'd love if you would take a listen. It's on my page. Hope you like it. Don't go too tough on me :)
I love your music 🎶
Beautiful. Thank you
Would you suggest an Applecreek dulcimer to a rookie?
Fantastic video thanks!!
Great song !
Great version! Do you have the chords tabs??
Your simple tab was really helpful, do you have others?
Can u make a video of the intro in slow motion
This not a tutorial, great singing.
I liked the music. Well done. Don't let the untalented get you down. (see below)
the lyric's are just awsome , and very well playing
Not a tutorial.
The popular "Seagull Dulcimer" is strung upside down and played like a guitar, so, really, what difference does it matter if you play left- or right-handed?
