My My Hey Hey - Neil Young (ukulele cover)

[MrKamort]

great shoes

[russbuss415]

@MrKamort thanks, they are very comfortable.

[tragicallyhippo]

Holy cow that was sweet ! Is there anywhere we can find a tab for that ?

[russbuss415]

@tragicallyhippo thanks! the chords are pretty simple for this song. Am - G - F for most of the song. C G Am F for the "it's better to burn out..." part.

[russbuss415]

[LauraK412]

That was brilliant! I may like that better than Neil's version....and that is one cool uke. :)

[russbuss415]

thanks for the kind words Laura!

[UkeIndy]

Wow Russ- you nail Neil Young. Loved it!

[russbuss415]

thanks Lonna!  i appreciate it :)

[FeatHead044]

This may be my favorite of all.

The tune suits your voice very nicely and the Cigar Box Uke is awesome and sounds just great, as well as the arrangement obviously! I still maintain my stance on Little Feats "Willin" It also would fit your voice well, if you take requests, make it happen!

[russbuss415]

thanks for checking out my videos! if i can pull it off, i'll let you know.

[wags126126]

Awesome!

[russbuss415]

thank you!

[flowmodel]

Realy nice.

Love NY cool songs.

And your cover is so softly.

Your cigar box uke sound beautifuly, too.

Well done, boy!

[russbuss415]

thanks for the comment!

[BerndDombrowski]

Very good work, Russ. It' s sound nice !

[russbuss415]

thank you Bernd!

[sirant]

Holy Wow!!!

Fantastic cover! Loved it! And that Uke!!!!!! Gorgeous!!!

[russbuss415]

thanks sirant! glad you like it.

[Gregparkerblues]

Really great Russ! Very similar to 'original' vocal tone. (Just try 'shakier' he!he!) Another good vid. 5*****

[russbuss415]

lol, thanks Greg!  shake it up!

[doogey9]

Russ,

i likey! I thought the picking and fills were great....plus I dig neil young.....

well done!

todd

[russbuss415]

thanks muchly Todd!

[russbuss415]

thank you!

[thingsBIGthe]

Perhaps because of the uke, I just noticed the similarities between this song and the Cure's "Love Song," specifically as played by Max and Bosko and Honey. I think a medley is in order.

[russbuss415]

you make a very valid point Gio. great idea!

[mctrmt]

Russ, u rule.

[russbuss415]

as do you, good twin! cheers!

[TheCoffeeJunkee]

Nice job! I love your Neil Young covers!

[russbuss415]

thanks CoffeeJunkee! glad you like them.

[adellethegreat]

Croc solo!

[adellethegreat]

Good to see & hear the cigar box again!

You could cover a Neil Young song everyday & I'd be happy.

Pssstt... nice shirt.

[russbuss415]

thanks Adelle! you spoil me :)

thanks for the shirt too!

[mugambismonkey]

Wow... I see the Hi-Hat and Bongos in the background... looks really like my own living room... congenial!! Now I have a good excuse whenever my gf complains that my flat looks like a music shop I can show her your video and explain that this is absolutely normal!! *lol* Great performance on a great song! 5*

[russbuss415]

thanks Dirk! i don't really play percussion very well. my wife does all that. i mostly stick to guitar and uke. but yeah, we have way too many instruments in that room. feel free to show your GF what a mess we have here :)

[bluedanbob]

You have a papa's boxes uke! That's fantastic. Did you make it from a kit?

I managed to snag a protoype tenor from him, with a pickup installed, just after he halted production.

[russbuss415]

yup, i got the kit last summer before they halted production. it was a fun and easy project. i installed a pickup i bought from ebay a few months later.

[uke5417]

Awesome song. Best-ever edit and camera work. Best-ever soundhole. Growing croc and drum collections. What more could a YT viewer ask?

(More!)

[russbuss415]

thanks for the kind words Bruce! you coming down to SF anytime soon?

[fourteentwelve]

Awesome job as always Russ! I love the video angles you've put done for this one too. Very cool. And it's great to see the cigar box uke again. It sounds great!

[russbuss415]

thanks Michelle! i usually play the cigar box plugged in, but the sound came out pretty nice unplugged this time.

[ukeshale]

beautiful job! that's a great looking uke, so many cool things going on with it :)

[russbuss415]

thanks Shane!

[casetone2514]

Hey! Where yo' tunin' pegs at, Willis?

Russ is to Neil Young as Adelle is to The Grateful Dead. Fantastic

[russbuss415]

lol, thanks Tony!

[keonepax]

Great rendition as always, Russ, and I liked the video editing on this one. Nice disappearance at the end!

[russbuss415]

thanks much John! your videos have also influenced me to try different angles.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

I've said it before Russ: you do Neil Young songs so well.

[russbuss415]

thank you Ken! hope you had fun at the belgian fest.

[theBradlands]

Man that was sweet Russ. Singing, Playing, Shirt, Shoes...

Everything Clicked!

[russbuss415]

thank you Brad!

[JokoLondo]

Your voice suits Neil Young very well. Nicely done.

[russbuss415]

thanks much Joko!

[degcon]

Awesome Job Russ, I have high expectations from your videos but this one really came Out of the Blue...

:-)

"When I grow up, I'm gonna get an Electric Guitar"

[russbuss415]

lolz, thanks DeG!

[g0dkarma1]

Sounded really good. I didn't know you could get that kind of sound out of a cigar box. Did you use an external mike?

[russbuss415]

thanks g0dkarma! i'm using a Blue Snowball USB condenser mic.

[russbuss415]

forgot to mention, i used audacity to add a little reverb after the fact. other than that, i didn't plug in to the amplifier this time.

[russbuss415]

thanks man! i appreciate it.

[nemoAUS]

my hero.

nice uke there buddy! great job

[russbuss415]

haha, thanks Nam (hero)!

[FatBaldGuy60]

It's been said, but you really suit Neil Young.  Nice editing as well.

[Zwoko]

Soo nice!

Well done Russ

[russbuss415]

thank you Zwoko!

[Sammyboy72]

This is wicked smaht! Your voice REALLY suits Neil Young. Is this two seperate performances, or did you use two cameras?

[russbuss415]

thanks Sam! this was one performance. i recorded different video angles to attempt to break up the monotony. the first shot is the live one.

[Sheepstar15]

Fantastic stuff Russ. I love your videos so much. And what a cool uke :)

[russbuss415]

thanks sheepstar! your videos have inspired me to attempt more video angles :)

[Sheepstar15]

Coooooool. I've actually inspired someone. How fantastic :)
