Amazing Anna! I have been wanting to add this song to our bands cover lineup as I wanted to learn it on my uke - kudos for making such an awesome rendition.
@ccochrc I'm struggling to remember, but I think the original is in G. I am in C, using C G C G7 C for the verses and Am C D7 G7 for the choruses. You can find lots of chord sheets if you Google it. Good luck :)
Excellent!!! Do you keonepax? He posts some excellent uke work as well. I think the uke is my new favorite instrument..I'll have to learn it next. right now I'm learning bagpipes.
@garymichaelshannon Thank you for the nice comment. I agree, John Keonepax's channel is just brilliant. The man is a genius. Head on over to Ukulele Underground if you haven't already - there's lots of uke help on there :)
Anna you have such an AWESOME singing voice, I LOVE what you did here! I'd give you 100 stars if I could but 5 it shall have to be. Looking forward to your next song. 8-)
Awesome Anna! I loved the arrangement, and that washboard percussion was a great idea, particularly using the paintbrush. It sounded great! I loved the combination of the uke, bass and washboard, and particularly your lovely voice. Great job!
Nice job on the song. I love Buddy. He would've been bigger than Elvis had he lived. I've been to the crash site in Iowa where he died. Weird thing was as soon as we got in the car after hiking the field to the small memorial that is there, I turned on the radio and "The day the music died" was playing.....

whats the strumming pattern?
thatguywithanocarina 2 years ago
There isn't one really, I do it by ear.
I think it's triplets of down-up-down, down-up-down, down-up-down etc.
Hope this helps :)

you are the neatest Anna! smart move with that paintbrush. i have a washboard too but never use it because of the harsh sound. thanks for the tip!
russbuss415 2 years ago
My top tip is to sacrifice a brand new paintbrush. I used an old manky one and got paint flakes all over the floor...
Thanks for the kind comment :)

Very good and I like the brush too. Perhaps you can do something musical with the dustpan. Hein
