[mctrmt]

@HOMEnHIGH

[HOMEnHIGH]

@mctrmt ...but you play awsome... the world is in a fine balance

[pirateninjaduck]

hey what the strum pattern you use? amazing cover by the way.

[mctrmt]

@pirateninjaduck

Thanks- I think it's just d-d-u-u-d-u, and then at the end of the chorus switches to d-d-u-u-d-u-u-d-u-u-d-u.

Or something.

[pirateninjaduck]

[squishy3000]

Just outta curiosity, is the fingering the same on ukelele as it is on guitar? I really wanna learn how to play ukelele but I play reaaaaly bad guitar XD

[MagicAccent]

The uke has 4 strings, go figure ;)

[hfiles23]

Nicely done

[daafie1]

nicely done, you can sing it so that all the words can be heard good, that makes it extra nice.

[mctrmt]

Thank you! I always try to have good diction :)

[joshuad84]

[teamato]

Awesome. Took me back to my college years. Thanks. :)

[jimbeaubjj]

Wow...that made me smile....

[deach69]

Ah memories....Back when MTv actually showed music videos. I really like your take on this song.

[russbuss415]

i love your version. very unique!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Nice clear strumming. Good singing too.

KEN

[mctrmt]

Thanks, Ken. Same to you!

[NoLine]

wat chords did u use?

i like ur cover

[mctrmt]

Thanks!

It's just F, G, C and Am. Nice and simple.

[albertmunoz01]

awesome... I love what you have done with that song...

how did you decide to sing it in that particular key?

[mctrmt]

Thanks! I'm glad you like it.

To be honest, I am terrible at transcribing by ear, so I usually just go with whatever I think sounds alright. But it sounded good to me (and it was in my range) so I stuck with it and decided I might as well mess with the rhythm while I was at it.

[cdjames10]

Happy to report that all members of A-Ha are currently still living!

Nice job by the way!

[mctrmt]

A relief, to be sure.

Thanks for the compliment!

[ukulelereview]

I don't remember that show, but I do remember Friday Night Videos back in the stone age of videos. I also like A-Ha. Didn't the lead singer die semi-recently? :o(

[UKISOCIETY]

Good job! you're right that the song works well on the uke.
