We've seen a huge boom in Ukulele sales recently as the popular tiny, little mini guitar style instruments have taken off among children, adults, grandparents and yes, you guessed it....EVERYONE! It seems this little instrument has welcomed itself into our day to day lives to bring us a touch of Hawaii and quite simply, who couldn't be whisked away on a big smile adventure to that tropical paradise whilst playing and listening to the beautiful tone of these magnificent musical mini guitars. We heard in the news this week that sales of Ukuleles in Britain have doubled to around 250,000 over the past five years and we're pretty sure that soon it will be overtaking those recorder lessons in schools as more and more children start up fun Ukulele clubs and the adults move onto those great little local community clubs, just round the corner. They're pretty easy to learn with just four strings and the soft nylon texture means we don't blisters on our fingers. Hooray!...

What order should I have my guitar effects pedals? This question arises time and time again and now it’s time to find out which is the best order for your guitar effect pedals! Although there’s no concrete, strict order you must have them in, there are some ways of getting the best out of them for optimum tone! 1) Tuner First in line should be your tuner, it’s ideal to have your guitar going straight into it so none of the other units can alter the signal as this may cause the reading of the note to change.

Having it before your drive pedal can give the wah more control over the signal allowing for a cleaner sweep and better response. Hendrix had his wah before the drive too so the...
