I wanted to thank you, as this performance was what inspired me to play the Uke. I could never quite master this piece with the bottle neck, though! (I've put a couple of tunes up on youtube myself now.)

First time I have posted a comment on you tube! This is coolest thing I have ever seen. Thank You.

[DeLuxProdux]

this song is by robert johnson...pay your respects, or somebody will poison your whiskey too

[Duhnata]

Robert johnson was the man, I've yet to hear anyone come close to what that man could do on a guitar.

[f3rt]

thanks for your comment ..but i can't speak french. ;)

[chocopops92i]

he said :

Would perhaps need to think of granting (not sure of this word) it !

[7ix]

It's more like: Maybe you should tune it...

[eastsackevster]

he said we french suck at this also

[0MetalllicA]

@f3rt it sais some kind of: may need to be thinking of the grant.

Something like that, i don't know

[MrGranousty]

@f3rt He says the uke is not well tuned (!)

[panini63]

OH MY GOD :-|

so nice man!

Do you have the tablature please?

[f3rt]

thank you!

i have the tablature but only on paper, sorry.

[wizardeal]

heres a neat trick, take a snapshot of the sheets and use the zoom feature to expand, then you could post that

[dotat]

Sorry fella but I hate you ;-) If I had two lfe times I could never learn to play like that.

But will keep on trying, just got to work out the second life time thing.

Good job.

[f3rt]

wow! thank you and good luck with the second life time thing (which actually isn't necessary btw)! ;)

[thaliahelene]

You got some beautiful fingers, man. I really enjoyed that.

[prodeckman]

nice man.

way to go

[UkeeDreamer]

Great stuff man, peeled the paint right off that song.

[bohab1969]

Great stuff!!

[hilogirl4me]

WOW

[hackdown3]

i wish i could play like that.

[freezazoid]

you tuned open? I've tried that on a mandolin. Not with a slide, but it's cool cause you can strum it open and do these cool indian-esque solos on a single string, while the rest of the strings create a drone, like a sitar. A very poor mans sitar that sounds nothing like a sitar but you get the point.

[f3rt]

no, it isn't tuned open.. just standard GCEA-tuning. but good idea.. i'm gonna try it.

[mancade]

hear hear long live the uke

[ddstar]

is that a kamaka?

[f3rt]

no, it's a brüko.

[graceyomalley]

Up the reds

[Lermacata]

Brilliant. Long live the Uke

[IsaacBickerstaffEsq]

Herman Parker Jr. learned the song from a Roosevelt Sykes recording, which was in turn a boogie rewrite of the original by Robert Johnson.

[FranSpain]

FANTASTIC!!!! I want to learn to do that!!!

[f3rt]

Thank you, FranSpain! If you want to learn it, I recommend Rigk Sauer's (RISA) book "the ukulele solo recipe"! btw thanks for the friend invitation! =)

[FranSpain]

I have that book a long time ago... I want to learn to play with slide!!!

[f3rt]

it's easier than it looks.. just try it.

[seeso]

Awesome.

[davidbluesthomas]

excelent!

[ukeduke]

YEAH! i love the blues brothers. veeeery good arrangement!

[Caruke]
