Persian Rug - Ukulele

[Frenk78rpm]

I like that!

You haven't got all the chords, but you get away with it!

You've got that George Formby roll, I wish I could do that!

[GUGUG]

hey Fred, thats great. Gonna look at this one in the mirror to check out wtf youare playing!

[wininboy]

@GUGUG Geez Gus - you're one of the swinging-est ukers I know, so I'm sure you won't have any trouble learning this.

Hi, here's a version of Persian Rug minus the verse...I play it on the guitar in Bb so you will need to transpose it for the uke.

Shiieet!! What was that?

Awesome!..

[milo14564]

Magnificent playing! BUT, anything but a "simple version" . Double strums and resquiadoes(sp?) aren't simple to us Sunday string thumpers. Heck, most of us are lucky to play a C6 without string buzz. ;)

Sa-weet!

That's aWAY out beyond my efforts

but I can appreciate it, anyway.

Very cool.

[perfectjazz78]

nice version of this popular tune

[robbourassaguitarist]

You are great. Do you ever play with R. Crumb?

[wininboy]

You are too kind, Rob! And I like your sense of humour! ;-)

[robbourassaguitarist]

I wasn't kidding. You are great. I see you are from Belgium and a friend of mine said he saw him in France. He used to play about an hour from my house at Tony Paco's in Toledo Ohio. You are of a caliber to work with those guys.

[wininboy]

Then I must apologise. It sure is quite the compliment coming from an accomplished player like yourself. Thank you so much! I once saw the Cheap Suit Serenaders perform here in Belgium some ten-fifteen years ago. I have always liked Crumb and his impeccable taste in music.

[robbourassaguitarist]

Me too. Bob Brozman did the best steel work I've heard on that album. You are right up there buddy.

Hot Cha! That's the cat's pajamas! :-) Regards, J.

[wildshots]

[norimak]

oh my, this is my very most favourite song ever, and i play a little uke, my new venture is to learn this! hours of fun! thanks so much, i would love some chord hints...you make an amazing job by the way, you're my new hero mister, beside r.crumb, up there!

[wininboy]

Out of sheer amazement and disbelief, I just dropped and broke my uke after reading this comment... Nevertheless, thanks for that wonderful compliment!!

[UKISOCIETY]

Great fun! I hope to learn those strumming techniques someday.

[BeareTube]

Simply superb as usual, wininboy. Fantastic strumming and a couple of very sweet chord changes in there! You get the most out of that old Martin. Thanks for this and all your other great videos. Keep posting! 5 Stars.

[ukulelezaza]

wow! i'm happy you posted a video again. very nice arrangement, smooth and very well played.

[wininboy]

Merci, zaza! Maar zit gij niet in Helsinki?!

[ukulelezaza]

Gisteren (=zaterdag) terug gekomen. Ik heb er vrij veel over te vertellen en doe dat graag onder het genot van een pintje. Zeg maar wanneer!

[edgrosso]

Really amazing. Thanks for posting.

[wininboy]

Thank you, Ed. And erm... (maybe this is the wrong place to post this reply) Was your dad really a member of Harry Reser's band? I'd love to hear more about that! What was his name? I have a few 78's of them and they're all great recordings.
