Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Ukulele cover

[Full2Blood2Islnd]

ONLY 12 FRETS !@#$

[lionelff12]

I have a Fender Stratocaster (1500€) , an acoustic guitar cort ( 350€) and a ukulele (80€).

So stop saying ukulele is a toy it's not at all.

[lionelff12]

thank you

[50nollieman]

what are the chords? thanks great cover :)

[imcure]

@50nollieman See the video description. there's a link to a lesson video and you can find chords there.

[TheClaudioNanni]

very nice, thanks for sharing.

[ateledger]

=D

<3

[CokeMachineGlo]

The Pineapple might be a cheaper Lanikai Uke, but they make quality instruments. I enjoy the tone you're getting very much. It's a toy in price only. I've heard worse sounding Ukes for 150

[MistrChristmas]

You should get your hands on a man made uke, the sound is much denser! 

[gizmoandkelsey]

That was TERRIBLE bahahaha I'm joking it was AMAZING your the best one I have heard yet sing this!!!

[11cheater11]

tune ur uke.

[newsreporternewbie11]

You are very amazing. I enjoyed this very much.

[BBflame24]

its a Lanikai uke... all of those good quality no matter the price :)

[CarbootGenius]

Your voice is immense ! :D

[Awesomifications]

what tuning is this?

[imcure]

@Awesomifications

standard tuning: GCEA 

[robotron1232]

@imcure great job dude, R.I.P Israel we loved you

[ifightforfun27]

what is the strumming pattern here??

[imcure]

@ifightforfun27

D du xudu and repeat

D means down, U means up. x means rest. upper case means quarter notes, lower case means eighth notes.

[evarootbeer22]

can I know the chords please? :)

[evarootbeer22]

Can't use pick for ukelele? :( please answer.

[TheNacho53]

U rocked this song however upgrade to a better uke

[noel914]

The A was a bit out of tune but awesome cover :D

[TheCmoTV]

you have a beautiful voice. keep it up :)

[snkhuong]

its not a toy it's just like guitar,piano and other instrument

[imcure]

@snkhuong

I didn't mean ukes are toys. I meant a 50 buck Uke has the price of a toy cause typically decent ukes are over 200 bucks.

[gavin36987]

@imcure Mine was 85 and it sounds good. :D

[Beazice]

@imcure I have a 50 dollar one Q_Q

[xxxKittyWinxxx]

Lanikai is a very good brand i have a Lanikai LU22CGC!!!

[hijolik]

to play notes in the song?

[xxxKittyWinxxx]

@hijolik CHORDS??????

[hijolik]

@xxxKittyWinxxx yeah, chords. to play chords in the song?

[justinmcfizzle]

Got the very same uke....love it bro

[DaDisaster3o7]

You kinda got it wrong in the beginning. Its C then G then Am and then F then go back to C.

[TheGeorgiesFilms]

It Kinda Ticked Me Me Off For The Fact That You Call It a Toy...Just Because Its Small??

[imcure]

@TheGeorgiesFilms

no, because it's cheap. :) But with surprisingly decent sound.

[MeSoAsianprod]

@imcure so its not cheap :p

[Nazteh]

@TheGeorgiesFilms I agree with you man... This is an instrument... not a toy.

[magalant0001]

it seems to me that everyone wants a ukalele now. at my school all the islanders play there ukaleles and it makes other ppl want 1

[izdawg76]

i have to say "this is the best cover of over the rainbow ive seen so far besides iz"

great job man. this is the reason i got a uke.

[Equalswin]

Best vocals I've heard of all the covers of this song, the uke itself sounds a bit of tune, though.

[cleerin1]

I HAVE THE SAME UKE AS U HOW MUTCH U BUY URS I GOT MINE IT WAS ON SALE ON SAM ASH CUZ IT WAS THE LAST ONE WITH TAX IT WAS 66 BUCKS

[imcure]

it was 50 bucks at the time when I bought it from musiciansfriend. talking about inflation...

[squidddfcker]

the sound of this ukuele reminds me of christmas,

[pternest25]

Dang wayyyyyyyy out of tune dude.  Fix that and you'll be fine. It hurts...

[chompet123]

I like your voice. Tho sometimes tuning is off. But still good!

[Scarth07]

Wow that was amazing. By far one of the best on youtube. Would you recommend this ukulele for a beginner? any problems with it?

[imcure]

I think it's the best uke you can get for 50 bucks. hehe. only problem I have is that the strings tend to go out of tune pretty quickly. but sound is pretty decent for the money.

[slangestorm]

ive just buyed me a ukulele very fun and easy to play, nice cover btw

[xvxacemanxvx]

you may say it's out of tune but it certainly hits the spot for me welldone brother

[TheAionFilms]

This is the best. Keep it up buddy! 100% will subscribe!

[pepesempire]

bravo..

[MetalheadMatt2010]

that baby's not a toy, bro

[BLOODELFSRULE]

1 its not a toy uke 2 the strings need at least a week to stretch out before it'll stay in tune 3 never use a pick on a uke it ruins the sound

[imcure]

thanks for the advice.

[BLOODELFSRULE]

@imcure your welcome i have the standard shape of this uke i also have a bushman jenny soprano its about 190 dollars but a great uke i wouldnt use anything else

[donkey1414]

@BLOODELFSRULE Can't you just get a ukulele pick of ebay?

[ernestryles]

@BLOODELFSRULE im gonna have to disagree about the pick part. true most of the time theres no need for a pick, but for solos and such they can help.

[epicfail10362]

Wait that's a toy ?!?!!!!

[TheGawryolek]

weird. This song was stuck in my head and i was just looking at Lanikai LU-21P Ukuleles and this video came across... crazy world

[Emparanollao]

I got the same Uku!! Nice cover, 'fantástico!'

[itsmonti1]

Ouch! The tuning is off. Check your tuning!!!!

[imcure]

I know it's a little off. I've tried my best. It's probably a common problem with the tuner for Ukuleles under 50 bucks: they can't stay in tune, not even for a few minutes.

[jukieuke]

@imcure ive had this ukulele for 6 months and so far i only have to tune it about every month

[plainoldstickfight]

its not a toy!

[KyleAncheta]

Great Cover!

[plainoldstickfight]

its not a toy

[jmcwd]

AWESOME VIDEO I DON'T KNOW ANYONE THAT CAN PLAY UKULELE LIKE THAT

[SFFreerunners]

Beautiful Cover..Wats ur strumming parttern

[imcure]

D d U u d u, D d U u d u ... and repeat.

D(d) means down, U(u) means up. Capital means quarter notes and lower case means eighth notes.

hope that's clear. :)

[imcure]

D d U u d u, D d U u d u ... and repeat.

D(d) means down, U(u) means up. Capital means quarter notes and lower case means eighth notes.

Actually what I did was always swing my forearms up and down every eighth note, but only strum the strings when needed. other times just swing by without touching the strings. like the illustration below, every 'x' is an eight note below, and 'd' and 'u' mark the notes you need to strum the strings either down or up

x x x x x x x x

d d u d u d

[JJJ211]

Does it stay in tune longer now? I know it takes a few weeks for the strings to stretch at first.

[imcure]

better, still need to tune it every time you play it.

[BenandDan96]

what microphone are u using to record the ukulele

[imcure]

MXL 990

[IFmusicIF]

That is disrespect to ur wife. Lankai are not 'toy' makers. They are a good uke maker and very expensive, she probably payed alot for that. Do u know how ungrateful u sound? 'so i should at least learn a song'!

[imcure]

you sounded very serious. but my video description wasn't. notice the smiley face in it? I know Lankai makes very good ukes. This is an entry level one though ($50). Won't stay in tune for over 3 minutes. But it's fun to play with and I love the pine shape even thought it's very difficult to hold it.

[EvanLloydBowen]

Well played dude

[imcure]

@KentTeachers I'm not sure what tuner it uses. It WAS relatively new at the time. a couple of weeks old.

[maxsorsoror13]

ewwww tune that shit...... nice job though!

[notsoemo20]

I recommend learning how to tune it. Decent vocals thought.

[imcure]

i know how to tune it. but it just won't stay in tune for a few minutes :)

[jipjip81]

is it really a toy? the sound is really nice~~~

[TessOh1]

nice vplay and voice

[blinkgrl182]

yea def sounds like a toy. mine sucks too. I want to get a nice one. Good job tho =)

[haschboy1]

is this really a toy?! i think it sounds so good. that cant be a toy.

mfg haschboy

ps: sorry for my bad english. im from germany

[imcure]

in my opinion, it's the cheapest uke you can buy which is decent enough to play. So it's a toy in terms of price but not its playability.

[lightVII]

@imcure I have a Lanikai CKCGC Concert Ukulele i love it so much

[brazillionare]

omg.. listenin 2 dis reminded me of tht 50 First Dates movie.. God job !!!!

[acousticems]

You should have tuned your uke properly first, would have sounded even better.

[imcure]

it goes out of tune pretty quickly. :)

[acousticems]

@imcure Yeah I read a bit about it just now too. Seems to have some general intonation problems, so some strings might sound out of tune on some frets, even though the uke is tuned properly.

[fusedguitar]

very nice!

[swetrich]

where did you learn the chords???

please i really want to learn this!

[imcure]

see my update to the video description. i used a tutorial on the tube. :)

[bevoburn]

Wow, great singing. This is a hauntingly beautiful song.

[Karlosgg14]

what tune use the ukeleles??

[imcure]

it's the standard uke tuning.

[overgrownjackass]

I bought this uke =D Should be at my door by Wednesday =] can't wait

[DrKlunkDoo]

Im going to buy this ukulele

[drentide]

could you please tell me where you got the tabs for this song?

[imcure]

can't paste urls in comment, search youtube for somewhere over the rainbow ukulele lesson, I used the one from Mav79

[filipinorice]

:D great job. Btw lanaki's are not toys, theyre one of the best ukes you can get. If this uke is too small, i suggest you buy a concert size, which is more for medium sized hands

[imcure]

I've learned another song (I'm yours by jason mraz) and switched back to guitar. my uke is collecting dust now. :)

you've got some pretty nice covers btw. great job!

[Afireinside47]

beatiful

[OEDIOUS]

i want to buy this uke...i have way smaller hands....would you recommend it for me?

[imcure]

Yes, I'd definitely recommend it. It's pretty decent for just 50 dollars. very good for smaller hands. :)

[imcure]

give it a couple of weeks for the strings to settle down. Then it'll hold the tune pretty well.

[MdL054]

Just stretch the strings and keep tuning them. You can eliminate that after 20 min.

[guitarlover654]

beautiful! It almost brings a tear to my eye :D
