I've been dieing to hear one of those 5k's in action. That uke sounds amazing. I love all those banjo rolls you're playing, and all the cascading on your other videos. You have inspired me to learn some tune using the cascading technique.

Sounds really great. The tone of your uke is great for a soprano. Have you tabbed this out or do you have the tabs on hand? Thanks!

I love it!!!! I just discovered your music after watching Sanford and Son's "Blind Mellow Jelly" episode, and my son did a search on "Shake That Thing" and... I've gotta say, I'm now a fan!!!

[Ukeridge]

[Authorized77]

That's cute! Not cute in a demeaning way, it's a cool tune and a good version of it on that uke :) It just sounds more cute than a banjo, lol.

[jodyguitar]

way cool!

[Fantastk1]

Absolutely spectacular! I'm honestly floored by the quality of your rolls. Bravo.

[aswertygf]

man why aint you like the most famous uke player ever

[bohemiansatire]

Hella good! Mad skill there Cuz!

[atavener]

That was brill. I can play that on banjo. Don't suppose you could email me the tab so I can play it on uke could ya?

[huoleifengbrian]

I can feel my eyes turning yellow. Any advice for someone looking to learn how to play foggy mountain on the uke?

[heftone]

The key is the right hand. The right hand rolls I use are pretty close to the way 5-string banjoist pick it. My left hand is different, but that's easier to see from the video.

5-string banjo tablature is easy to find by googling "foggy mountain banjo tablature". Also,Earl Scruggs has a good book called "Earl Scruggs and the 5-String Banjo" out with explanations and tablature.

[heftone]

I use standard gcea uke tuning, but if you tune the first string down one note to "g", you can play from 5-string banjo tablature, albeit in the wrong key and missing the low 4th banjo string

[zukakog]

@heftone Best comment ever! I also tuned the 2nd string up a half step for some mountain modal uking! Here's a few extra !!! 'cause I'm so excited!!!!

[wininboy]

Marvellous! The ukulele reinvented. Hats off to you, sir.

[Banjopickin92]

Awesome!

[carteru93]

Not bad, Not bad, Not bad!

[waitswatcher]

Haha...cool!

Now its my turn to ask for some tabs here on youtube!

cheers,ww :-)

[kharmachanic]

Dangit boy...

that was so good it made me want to kiss my sister.. A+++
