I played some Jobim tunes already, search on my channel. But a Cavaquinho is a different instrument, I own one myself and have one or two tunes with that one online too. The main diference is the completely different kind of strings, steel on the cava and nylon on the uke.
Seriously I just goof off with this ukulele I have sitting around me (usually Megadeth or TOol) and was thinking of old songs and saw the Original Double version and thought "I bet that would work". And here you are.
well done you! I bought `the captain of her heart` when first released back in the 80`s a timeless masterpiece. if it dosent play music with your heartstrings then you have no soul! interesting version, thank you!!!
This is one of my all time favourite songs, first heard on a radio station in Christchurch, New Zealand at around 2am sometime i 1985. I'm sure Kurt Maloo and Felix Haug would be pleased at the uketastic justice you have given to this beautifully crafted song.
Sir...I've never commented on anything on YouTube, but I had to say something to you! That was fantastic work...not enough people dedicate time to the mastery of an instrument lately as you haveand I miss it...It was pure pleasure to listen to. Thank you very much for sharing!
Until now I never regarded a Ukulele as a serious musical instrument. For a terrific song that was essentially a piano oriented arrangement, this video is a very pleasant surprise! We want more! Yeah... the cat.. my cat loves this too!
This is one of my favorite songs from the 80's! Very nicely done. I remember when Star Search used this song for their "Spokesmodel" segments... I Picture blurry camera shots, wind blown hair and cheesy sets and costumes involving some sort of nautical theme. Again very nicely played.
very good, how did you learn the notes??

And you have a cat! That gives you extra bonus points :)
