When I first got my cheap ass uke I looked up uke covers on here I came across this gem and then figured out to play it, then played it for 3 days straight until my missus banned the song from our house! Good times while they lasted!
Every one of your performances are so entertaining, funny and uplifting.
I have been playing several of the videos every day, and have wondered how you create them. Can you produce one in a few hours or does it take days ? I dig the way the melodica sounds. I haven't heard much music played on them. The sound is quite unique. Really great!
ok, I've been learning how to play the uke since March and am completely obsessed, but I now want to master the melodica too! waht a great instrument! ..time for ebay. any suggestions for buying one? is it really difficult to learn?
I've a Hohner 32 key which I got from Amazon at a decent price ($34.99) and great quality, I'd say if you're looking to buy a melodica you can't go far wrong with a Hohner, I've heard if you go for a real cheapy they can be out of tune a little which isn't good when there's no way of tuning, hope this helps a little :)
Do you think you could help me figure out the bassline and the chords for the Specials version of this song? I assume it will be the same, but I do know it's in a different key. Can't find any tabs, and I'm totally helpless at this stuff, so any help would be appreciated!
Also, brilliant cover! Inspired me to buy a melodica ;)
I absolutely love how you used a simple hubcap and brushes to get the snare sound, which by the way I liked it because it did not sound as "hairy" as a regular snare! I'm going to try the hubcap idea on my son's snare drum! Loved it! Awesome video!
