One ukulele cover

[sapikinek]

u really have cool voice. 

[BaronK69]

@sapikinek thank you very much!

[jgordon766]

Very nice...has anyone mentioned that you sound a bit like Chris Rea? That's a compliment!

[BaronK69]

@jgordon766 Thank you! I have heard many look/sound alikes, but never Chris Rea before, but I do take that as a compliment.

[mdmccat]

Thanks so much for this video. Love your cover.

[BaronK69]

@mdmccat Thank you!

[MrTwentyPercent]

i like your version, great voice!!

[BaronK69]

@MrTwentyPercent Thank you! Glad you do.

[LukzHenrike]

i liked it! :)

[BaronK69]

@LukzHenrike Glad you did!

[easkaterocks22]

I've got the chords down but i cant get the right strum pattern, my tempo is off would you mind putting the strum pattern you use? thks

[BaronK69]

@easkaterocks22 Well, I don't really know how to write that "up-down-chunk" stuff... I sorta just try to find a beat and go with it. I don't even think I got the right beat here, it you listen to the original. Just play whatever you feel works for the song. Good luck.

[usouljah297]

@BaronK69 agreee i just listen to the song once or twice n try to get the tune in my head n play thats the best way i dont really use a specific strum you just got to feel it on some songs n make your own

[hotnuma]

Great cover, this is one of the first Ukulele cover I've found on YouTube a few months ago, then I bought my first Ukulele and started to play. (I'm not very good currently... lol :) Anyway, your cover of N.I.B and Enjoy The Silence are just incredible, you are one of the best Uke players on YouTube in my humble opinion. :) 

[BaronK69]

@hotnuma Thank you very much! I'm glad you like my stuff. Good luck with your uke playing!

[fastfinguers]

YOU ARE NUMBER ONE ...... GREAT JOB

[BaronK69]

@fastfinguers Thank you! Glad you like it.

[themanatthezoo]

This is one of the best covers of this song i heard!

[BaronK69]

@themanatthezoo Thanks man, I appreciate it!

[therealsuckle]

Yo Baron, GREAT cover!!! I was never a big johnny cash fan but HUGE U2 fan from the earliest of the 80's!! Love the soulfulness in your cover. Bono would be proud!!! Do you have the tab for this?

[BaronK69]

Thanks man, glad you liked it! I don't have the tabs - I just googled the chords and transposed it down several steps so I could sing it... I think I play Em/A/C/D - G/Em/C/G

[therealsuckle]

Thanks again. Playing it for my love now. She approves too!!!! Keep em comin...

[MarchChart]

I've never said this to anyone before, but you rock a ukulele man.

[BaronK69]

Thanks!

[uke5417]

Nicely restrained, and even more powerful as a result. I really enjoyed this. thanks

[BaronK69]

Glad you did! Thank you.

[UKISOCIETY]

You're a great song interpreter, dood.

[BaronK69]

Thanks Alan! I appreciate it. By the way, I cut my beard shorter to look more like you...

[UKISOCIETY]

HA! I noticed! I think mine's actually a bit longer than yours. Gotta trim it back. People might think I'm a ruffian or head-banger or something!

[shas1814]

Here, now!

Less of the innuendo, you guys!

[felixxxrae]

I was having a pretty bad day until I heard this! Thank You Baron!!!

Glad I could help you out Felix!

[ukeshale]

[sdmfWVchapter]

i cant wait bro , i bet i have a idea what band or at least what main dude lol, sux zakk no longer plays for ozzy :(

[BaronK69]

Thanks man!

[fourteentwelve]

Brilliant Baron! This is one U2 song that I actually do like (probably the only one). I love what you do with it. The simplicity of the uke is so perfect for this song. Beautiful!

[BaronK69]

Thanks Michelle! It's got a really strong melody which makes it perfekt for some easy uke strumming.

[krabbers]

great song for the uke

i play it in Am

tops tuff

[BaronK69]

Thanks Krabbers! I tried to play it Am but my pants weren't thight enough...

[sdmfWVchapter]

LOL break out your spandex from 80s maybe ya can get that Am hehe

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

I seem to be one of the few that actually likes U2.

Loved how you make this your own, R. Most people think it is a good thing to try and copy the original - I don't see the point. Terrific.

[BaronK69]

Thanks Ken! I'm glad you like it. I always just try to get through the songs without messing up completely and if that make them my own, I guess I'm just lucky...

[casetone2514]

I agree that this is one of the better U2 songs, though I really like "When Love Comes To Town" that they did with BBKing.

This is, as always, a superb cover.

[BaronK69]

Thanks Tony! Yeah, that's a good song too. BB is always pretty awesome...

[okvolleyball]

nice job Baron .

[BaronK69]

Thank you Stephen!

[lukuleles]

i'm with you with not being big on the u2, but this is a great song and you did a great cover. i wish i had your voice.

[lisaxy424]

This actually makes me consider liking U2! Awesome cover Baron! :)

[BaronK69]

Thanks Lisa! Yeah, U2 is a strange band - sometimes they're just pretentious and annoying, but sometimes they make something so good you can't ignore it...

[CoffeeMate11]

your pretty much awesome

[BaronK69]

Thanks man!

[eerteep]

fantastic job baron!

: )

[BaronK69]

Thank you Deachy! So are you.

[learninguke]

Sweet like sugar!!! :)

[BaronK69]

Tack!

[worschd21]

awesome job, baron!

got one version of this nice song up, too,

your voice is fittin greatly here!

[BaronK69]

Thanks man!

[DonfromMT]

I've always liked this song for its lyrics which seem so effortless despite their power. And you never cease to surprise me! That was a very sensitive performance. You shift gears so well from one song to the next, and it always seems right on. Faved it, of course!

[BaronK69]

Thanks for the nice comment and the fav, Don!

[BaronK69]

Thanks man! Yeah, it's pretty good. I did record it outdoors first, but the wind messed up the audio...

[UkuleleInMyCar]

Entering it in to Shane's challenge? Unlimited entries now.

[BaronK69]

Damn, I forgot again!

[UkuleleInMyCar]

U2 are like The Beatles to me, in the way that I enjoy watching other people cover their songs alot more than the originals. This is really good, Baron.

[BaronK69]

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

[UnluckyMum]

wonderful ! This is the first time I have ever listened to the lyrics to this song- and I have to totally agree with everything boozelele said too :)

[BaronK69]

Thanks mummy! It really is a sweet song, but I didn't realize that until I heard Cash sing it.

[jhgarl35]

nice job. well done.

[BaronK69]

Thanks man!

[boozelele]

Ive never been a U2 fan either. But you really nailed this bro. I like this better than theirs for sure.

[BaronK69]

Thanks Booze! Glad you like it.
