Suzanne by Leonard Cohen

[Gus1236]

Again great cover! I really enjoy the picking pattern, could you describe how you are picking?

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@Gus1236 Hard to describe. Watch my video on How To Play The Music Of Leonard Cohen. It is on that.

[victenant]

Beautiful. Thank you.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@victenant Thanks.

[Gus1236]

Nicely done. Beautiful song. Is that a baritone uke? Or is it standard tuning (GCEA)?

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@Gus1236 it is a tenor. Standard tuning:gCEA

[pshapiro]

This made me cry. Thanks.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@pshapiro Thanks for watching, Phil.

[BrandonNorth1120]

One of the most sincere covers of any song i've ever heard on youtube my friend. Thank you, it was very beautifully done.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@BrandonNorth1120 Thanks very much.

[mrscooter711]

Love it, thank you, well done. Clay Micallef.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you.

[mrscooter711]

@KenMiddletonUkulele Have you had a look at uke3453 I am sure you have, if not have a look, see ya !

[newtubabear]

Bravely done well enough...........

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks.

[idrnoel]

For a rough unrehearsed version... I'd say this is really good.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks.

[KtotheY77]

So good.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks.

[NightOpera]

Great cover!!! bravissimo!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks very much.

[Ghostorchid2]

Beautifully covered!! Bravo 5****.

[jemesouvienz]

Seriously good cover. congrats man.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you.

[oOograylightoOo]

Where did you get the tabs/chords? I bet you made them yourself...care to share? This is amazing by the way. One of my fav songs ever.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Didn't use tabs or chords. Just played it.

Try googling "cohen chords" for all his songs.

[kavadale]

very special, thx

david

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you.

[1Atomtan]

I can barely take most covers of the great Leonard Cohen. You are different. How unique and wonderful. You obviously love the music.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

I have always loved Cohen's music.

[johnnytweaker]

You must love this song as much as I do.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

I have fond memories of all his early music.

[payates]

Thank you for this gem of a rendition. Is your ukulele a soprano or a tenner?

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks. I nearly always use a tenor. this one is a Kanile'a tenor.

[sauly1983]

Wow, you are so great! Thank you for sharing :) I'm subscribing to your channel and can't wait to hear more!!

I got a ukuele for Christmas and this is my first time learning a string instrument. I have been feeling a little discouraged because I am finding it hard to find tabs for uke songs online... would you possibly be able to refer me in any direction? I am particularly interested in Tabs for Leonard Cohen songs.

Thanks again

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks very much.

[SadRefuge]

wonderful !

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks.

[mjj221]

Great, man. Just great.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you.

[MistressReba]

Absolutely B E A U T I F U L rendition!

Thank You!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks for the comments. Much appreciated.

[nixon313714]

Thanks i appreciate it, im a fan of cohen, anyway. I noticed your donovan cover uses the same chords as on a guitar as well as a ekulele so that might be worth looking at for me. Where did you get your ekulele from if you dont mind me asking? I found it hard to purchase a real good one, so opted for a average. Thanks once again Lee.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Try Richard at TheUkuleleShop. My uke is a tenor Kanile'a.

[nixon313714]

Hi ken just came across this really taken back by your style of playing beautifull. I have been playing the ekulele for about two years now. And i cant seem to find any sort of good sites for this style of playing any help would be most appreciated LEE

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks. There are 26 other Cohen videos, including one on How To Play his music. Nearly all of the bluegrass and celtic tunes have tab sheets that you can download. Have fun.

[SailQwest]

So lovely!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks again, Kim.

[Goschenhobel]

Great singing and playing of a beautiful song, Ken. Thanks!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks. I liked your version very much too.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

It's a powerful song. It has always been a favourite of mine. Thanks Adelle.

[theBradlands]

So soothing. Very good for being rough and unrehearsed.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks Brad.

[degcon]

Great performance!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks very much.

[GingerJaneM]

Gratitude beyond measure from me Ken. It's always been my favorite of his, so intimate, so like a personal secret. I've never heard anyone do it justice but Cohen himself until now.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

That's a really generous comment. Thank you.

[brokenbluebird]

Bless your heart, Ken. Pure honesty.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you Karen, kind comment.

[russbuss415]

nicely done Ken!  not rough at all.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks Russ.

[deach69]

Great feeling!  Beautifully done as usual Ken.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks Deach.

[shas1814]

Very cool, Ken.

This was rather hypnotic.

Entrancing, perhaps.

I was surprised when it ended,

I was in another world,

forgetting that I was listening to a youtube video.

10 stars!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks, Shas. I've noticed that the comments you make about people's videos enable them to feel good about themselves. You certainly encourage me.

[hoosierhiver]

Very nice Ken,a good one for black and white too.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

As I said before, it's a bit arty farty, but I like it. Thanks Mike.

[keonepax]

This is the "rough, unrehearsed version"??  Man, I can't wait to hear your polished version!! Great job...

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks very much.

[okvolleyball]

great job Ken .

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks Stephen.

[suppressivefire]

great work!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you.

[irvingjohn]

You rock, Ken. I love the Cohen vids.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks. More to come.

[LStrachey]

feelingly done

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks very much.

[BaronK69]

Sweet Ken! I think I might have to get some of Cohens albums. Very nice picking! 5*

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks R. Always good to hear from you.

[phillipsderek]

Very nice Ken.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you.

[casetone2514]

This one, Chelsea Hotel and Bird On A Wire are my top three Leonard Cohen songs and you did this one soooo well. I have been tempted to do this one myself as I have had a request to do any Leonard Cohen tune.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

I have no plans to do either of the other two, Tony. Why not try one of those? I'd love to hear you do a Cohen song.

I only did this one as a spur of the moment thing because my Minehead Station video was not that well received.

[lloydhywel]

A song in which i feel that everyone who has carried its wonder over the years will welcome your authentic craft of expression, wonderfully.

What a joy.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you, glad to oblige.

[sinner48]

i love this song it's one of my fav leonard cohen song well don ken great version keep themm coming ken

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

This is Leonard Cohen video no. 26. But there are plenty more.

[krabbers]

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

I've wanted to do this song for a while.
