Tableture in powertab and guitarPro format

 
This page contains a few ukulele tunes in the marvelous powertab and GuitarPro format. To open these files you need to have the program installed on your computer. Though designed for guitarists they work just as well for the players of the humble uke.
Powertab is completely free, music files are tiny and once you get the hassles of the download sorted it is an imminently sensible and useful program. It is a perfect format for swapping tunes and arranging and writing your own, as it also has a play-back feature, for no extra cost. GuitarPro is not free, but can be opened using Tux editor (below) though you lose some of the formatting.
So, to hell with the expense, pop on down to harmony central , click the download on the left of the page and go for it. Powertab won’t run on a mac- however Tux guitar editor ( http://www.tuxguitar.com.ar/) is a free program which will open and run powertab in all its midi glory, though you lose some of the benefits of the powertab.
Once again the disclaimer is that these tunes are our own work, never intending to sound exactly like the original, which in many cases we never bothered to listen to. And because of the limitations of the programs, go for the chord diagrams rather than the chord name when there's confusion or apparent conflict between the two.
If you are struggling to find the chord diagrams in powertab, don't panic as they appear automatically across the top of the page when you print the music.
