[saullouis]

Some of the best uke playing ive heard. Stubled on a uke festival in a public park in honolulu about 14 years ago. (near the acquarium). Old men, little kids, lots and lots of people. Ill never forget it.

[olu143]

Thank you very much. The Honolulu Uke festival Is still being held every year at Kapiolani park. Good memories! :D

[samvel65]

cool song! keep coming back to listen to it :)

[olu143]

Thank you very much! :D

[jomelohhbabyy]

Hi Blotch..Remembering the good old days growing up with you as the baby,being taught to play the uke. Many of hours of Dad & you practicing songs after songs & boy do I remember this one..lol But practice makes you better and what an awesome ukelele player you have become..You are Our Father's son with his love & passion for this instrument,& yes it would be magical if our other 2 brothers could play something with you too. For I am Proud to be the big sister to all my Ohana.Luv U"TiTa Blotch"

[olu143]

I remember spending summers and school years grounded in the house. The punishment: playing ukulele. Back then, when you're a kid it seems like hell. Now I wish I learned all that Dad had to teach. I'd gladly stay in the house to learn everything I could! Now because of Dad

my passion as well as my understanding of the uke has grown beyond what I thought I could accomplish! Mahalo nui Dad! Love you Blotchie Blotch! ~Blotch~:D

[DennisInLaramie]

Well now I know why your "Samick" uke looks just slighty different than mine, as well as sounding better too ... yours IS NOT A SAMICK! :-) I watched another one of your videos, and saw that you have an Oscar Schmidt uke. It sure does sound nice! My Samick looks as good, but doesn't sound as good. :-( Maybe it's because mine has a laminated top rather than a solid spruce top. Does your uke have the solid spruce top? Well, now I'm going to have to listen to more of your music ... very enjoyable!

[olu143]

Haha! The uke in this video is a Oscar Schmidt tenor uke. It is a solid spruce top, and bright strings for picking. I heard that Samick makes awesome ukes too! Thank you for the observations and comments! You're too kind! Aloha! :D

[DennisInLaramie]

Is your uke a Samick? It looks just like my Samick UK-70, although yours doesn't appear to have the dot marker where the neck joins the body (which mine has). Is it a baritone uke, rather than a soprano (maybe that's the reason why)? I suspect that you probably play a lot of finger style guitar as well (maybe classical or flamingo)? Anyway, it was very enjoyable listening to you play! Your playing shows how nice a ukulele can sound in the right hands, EVEN WHEN the ukulele isn't a Martin! :-)

[olu143]

Thank you! I do a lot of picking, mostly instrumentals. In Hawaii Reggae is the thing but I don't like to be limited to any one style. I play ballads, rock, reggae, even rap on my uke. Of course that all comes behind my Hawaiian and Slack Key music which is where my foundation comes from. :D

[dragon1xxx]

nice >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>wooooowwowowowo­wowowo

[samma666]

fun xD

[olu143]

Thank you! :D

[threelegduck]

dude i was just on easter island & they have these awesome 8 string ukileles over there

[olu143]

Really? Are they nice?

[ChipmunkMusic1]

ur good...but the nails r a little weird

[mulattoraver]

Weird nails make good music. One of the prerequisites for good plucking is funky dracula nails.

[olu143]

...And for picking noses! Haha! XD

[Elekks]

Its what the very hardcore people do when they play a stringed instrument.... they grow their nails out on their right hand so they can use it as a pick.... lol its very creepy

[olu143]

Lol. You're right! It's also good for noses!! XD

[olu143]

Thank you! The nails are the secret to my success! :D

[tayfunb]

nice chords

[olu143]

Thank you!

[pecorino69]

yea brodda, asnuts bra, mahalo!

[olu143]

Thanks bro! Mahalos! :D

[lucastambor]

hola

[olu143]

Hola! Aloha!

[ltabaldi]

Beautiful. Glad I came across it. Beautiful looking instrument, too. Who made it? It looks very Martin-ish. Is it?

[olu143]

Thank you. No it's actually a Oscar Schmidt. It's a great ukulele for picking. Nice clear sound. Aloha!

[RewYnd]

Purposely hid the neck so no one could learn the song eh LOL

Very Nice Composition!

[olu143]

Not really. I was too close to the camera. Thanks for the comment! Aloha!

[NICKFROMESSEX]

Hi Sorry forgot to ask is it steel stung?

Best Wishes Nick

[olu143]

No It's nylon strings with a nickel wound 3rd. Best wishes to you my friend! :D

[NICKFROMESSEX]

hi great playing love it. Your ukelele must have cost alot for a tone like that.

Best Wishes Nick

[olu143]

Haha thanks Nick. It wasn't that expensive.

[THANATOSHYNOS]

the big nails are to give a louder sound to the strings

[josephcradit]

thats a chick, good job

[olu143]

No dude. I'm a guy.

[olu143]

Yup. I don't like to use picks. You have a more direct impact on the uke if you do learn to use your nails. :D

[sjoisfreak]

that nails :S

[chupsa]

your finger nails looks a little awkward but you sound great ahahaha! no offense dude ^^

[olu143]

None taken. Thanks for the comment! :D
