Layla piano coda (ukulele rendition)

[CR5615]

That was sooo beautiful. I really enjoyed it. Was that you playing all three parts? Did you write the arrangement? It was really really pretty. Thank you and thanks too for the chords.

[paxukulele]

@CR5615 Thank you! I really appreciate it!, I arranged and played all the parts. I hope I can tackle the first half of "Layla" someday! : )

That wouldn't by chance be Ken Middleton's House of Pancakes, would it? I heard he was branching out. This is unbelievably beautiful! I am sure Ken is going to give you a free stack of flapjacks. With blueberries, if you want 'em. And if he doesn't, I will.

[paxukulele]

@songblurred Thanks, Don! This Ken's is on the Big Island, and it's been around for a while! I love pancakes!

[pfrogner]

That really came out very well. Nicely done!

[paxukulele]

@pfrogner Thanks, Rick! I'm really glad. It's something I've been wanting to try for a long time!

[DarkmoonRising69]

beautiful

[paxukulele]

@DarkmoonRising69 Thanks, Laurence!

[AhnkoHonuUkulele]

Awesomeness to the tenth level! This song brings back allot of memories cruising with my brother in his hotrod VW Bug in the early 70s. Mahalo John.

[paxukulele]

@AhnkoHonuUkulele Mahalo, Ahnko! Yes, Layla is a great song to blast in the car!

[wjc1952]

Sounds mighty fine! Just yesterday Paul was trying to learn Layla on his 'ukulele. If he gets it right, maybe you & he can do the whole thing. I really, really, really like what you did here. It sounds GREAT!

Me ke aloha,

Wanda

[paxukulele]

@wjc1952 Mahalo, Wanda! Paul and I must be on the same wavelength. I tried to fiddle around with that riff made famous by Duane Allman... very tough to play fast. If Paul or I ever get it down, I'd like to combine the two parts. Anyway, so glad you like it!

[joaniev]

Wow John!! This one is so great!! Ukulele harmony perfection!!!

[paxukulele]

@joaniev Thanks, Joanie! I tried to go higher on the fretboard, but it sounded funny. Wish I could have had somebody add some slide ukulele!

[SpiritOfGaman]

I've enjoyed everything you've done, but this is the best I've seen! You're blessed to be so talented and creative. Mahalo for making this vid!

[paxukulele]

@SpiritOfGaman Mahalo, L! If I can ever master that riff in the first part, I'll try to record it and combine the two parts!

[EarthsAngels]

Very nice John, it's a favorite of mine also. I liked the pictures too! Diane :o)

[paxukulele]

@EarthsAngels Mahalo, Diane!

[floydbluethereal]

Great, John!



[paxukulele]

@floydbluethereal Thanks, Ralf!

[paxukulele]

@floydbluethereal Thanks, Ralf!

[kistran]

Lovely :)

Noticed you are using a Wound C string for the finger picking. Would you say it is better than all nylon?

[paxukulele]

@kistran Thank you! No special reason for using the wound C... it just happens to be what I have on the uke!
