Love it! Got my first uke for Christmas and I'm hooked. Now I can't get your song out of my head and that's not a bad thing!! Thanks and I look forward to more great music from you.
Hal, you are lovely! I do have one question, however - if one wanted to cover this song (say, for a contest they didn't discover until the wire) how would they go about it? After all, there are no chords or lyrics listed here... Please do reply! I have loved this song every since I first heard it, and sing it to myself all the time - but an excuse to cover it would be divine! Thank you - from you shy admirer
@shoepixie The Chords are easy shoepixie. The song is in G so it's G, C & D. The hard part is all the riffing that I do. The chorus riff notes are (in order) C, D, F, G, Bb, C, G. The verse climb up is just F, F#, G. Repeat till the change to C. That does it. Have fun.
@manitobahal Thank you so much! Exposed as the total beginner I am: I don't know riffs or any of that yet, I've only been playing a few months. *hides in shame* All the same, you inspired me! I looked up another song (that I'd never played before, eeep!) and recorded it it quick for you, though maybe I did embarrass myself forever? No no, I am sure that practising a new song all night gives one uke superpowers, right? Right? *shifty eyes*
I WILL learn this song someday, though. A mission!
Oh my Got! I just love it! :)) One question- this is tenor uke? I really want to learn ukulele and i don't whit witch one start to play. Tenor or sopran?... can u help me? Thanks. :)) (excuse my bad Eeglish)
@WhamYawn Thank you WhamYawn. Yes this is a Tenor Uke. The choice really is about comfort and tone. A tenor is larger and easier to play in some ways over a soprano and has a fuller bass tone. However the traditional sound of a uke is from the soprano. Most players end up with a few ukes. Start with your favorite now and get the rest later. I hope that helps.
i could totally feel the song, man you are amazing, this is my new favorite song, the perfect mix of down south rhythm and uke strummin at its best, superb
@TeleTubeee I'll have to see about doing something with him. It would probably be awesome. So awesome as to dwarf every other awesome video on YouTube? Only time will tell...
congrats on 10K!
