[Hhmmmmmmmmmm]

Love this! Think it's brilliant how you haven't tried to copy exactly and made it your own! also the Uku sounds amazing!

[haggis5k]

I would love to be able to play like you. You make it seem so natural

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@haggis5k Thanks for watching.

[CherryXXDarling]

You are SO awesome. By far my favorite version of this song!!!!!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@CherryXXDarling Thanks for listening.

[06548113]

Sounds great! I'm trying to learn this tune but am finding the fast and sharp strumming so difficult! I'm only used to slow songs...

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@06548113 Play it more slowly and do a different strum. The song is good and will work any way you play it.

[06548113]

@KenMiddletonUkulele I took your advice about the strumming and am getting the hang of it. Thanks a million!

[AlwaysLusting]

this is great!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@AlwaysLusting Thanks.

[CatchMyReference]

This is so fantastic! I've recently brought my own uke and am playing it daily (<3) but you obviously have such a passion for it and this song, it brings up so many memories and you have done it the MOST justice. FANTASTIC. :D <3 <3

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@CatchMyReference Thanks for your comments.

[nationalguitarplayer]

Love your stuff, keep on playing that uke!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@nationalguitarplayer I will.

[saintelm0]

just found this! i thought castlecomer's cover was the only one that used a ukulele! such a great sound for this song!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@saintelm0 Thanks. There are a couple of hundred ukulele recordings of this song. I have done it at least twice.

[tiffarooroo]

This song is mine and my mom's. You made it sound better. :]

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@tiffarooroo Thanks for watching.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@xsaddlebarsx Thank you.

[ThePolecatz]

I've got that h4

[time37]

@ThePolecatz That's the H2 (I've got one). The H4 looks more like a tazer gun.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@time37 You are right.

[aleksmoderatto]

Now, I want an uke!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

They are adictive.

[Chumbbo]

@KenMiddletonUkulele i love ukes, they are so easy and fun to play with a little practice especcially if u play guitar, i could play uke first day i got it since i have been playing guitar 9 years now

[Charlieshae1]

That was so great!!!

Do you play guitar too?

I'm trying to decide between learning an acoustic guitar or a baritone uke.

Which do you recommend?

You play soooo beautifully!!!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Yes, I played guitar for many years (about 50). I don't play much now. I generally play tenor ukulele. I don't really like the baritone size.

[murphysborounderdark]

@Charlieshae1 Bari uke is the same as a guitar, with 2 less strings, but if you can play guitar, you can play bari uke.

[749UU]

I love this song, and this cover has made me like it more. Thank you. :)

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks for listening.

[sushesUSA]

can you please tell me the brand of uke, and whether it is a concert, tenor or baritone ... I love the sound of this uke:)  Nice singing btw!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

A Kanile'a tenor.

[tailor7793]

Very nice Ken . well played.How long have u been playing and is that a concert Uke>

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

[MrHoopislife]

[Hirally]

[batum44]

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Just google "brown eyed girl chords".

[batum44]

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

It is a high G. The chords are available everywhere.

[josem0120]

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks.

[TaylorsTooEnglish]

Good job Dude!!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you.

[sum1outder09]

is this song gonna be hard for a beginner????

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

There are only 4 chords.

[claudioscola]

@sum1outder09

I'm a beginner and did it. I see that Ken snuffs the chords with his spare fingers to get that rythm which I can't do yet. Search online for a version that just uses F, Bb, C7 & Dm and just strum it out.

[thevonbots]

Who are the 8 goons who clicked the thumbs down? How could you NOT like this? I wish this guy was my uncle and we could hang out and play ukulele together. Seriously, he's having such a great time. And now I am too! Yay for this guy!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks for the comment.

[MrSugarbakers]

Good job ken. Thinking of buying a uke, any particular type you would recommend? thanks

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks. Message on its way.

[scott23456]

This is pretty darn good. Bravo.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks.

[zarglink]

Sweet!

Wow, you have a great voice.

That's a nice clean recording too. What kind of equipment did you use to record that?

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

It is called a Zoom H2 handymic.

[Zelrick23]

Very Nice! Makes me wanna go out and buy a Uke

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

[rileicer]

Simple but beautiful, great performance!
