Hoist That Rag II - Tom Waits

[calvinkiley]

I was going to ask why you'd ever cover this song on ukelele. Then I listened to it. Great job.

[tituss59]

Awwwwwwwwesooooooooooooooooooo­mme!!!!! Great job!! Congrats!!! Would you post the tab somewhere, somehow please????

[waitswatcher]

@tituss59

thanks!

the tab link is in the video description, I think ... cheers! ww

[tituss59]

@waitswatcher

Yes, there is the link in the video description but it doesn't work (at least for me)! :(

@waitswatcher You're very welcome!

[lonelobo13]

Hats of Mr. Pascal ! I must say that I am 'die hard' fan of our friend Tom and usually when I see a cover of his song I run like it is a plague, but am I glad that I stumbled on Yours channel. Man, you should contact Tom and I am sure that next tour you are on stage with him. I should know that it will work cause I watched him live on last two tours and I see you up there jammin' your uke ;) , cheers from Croatia!

[waitswatcher]

@lonelobo13

thanks a lot & cheers to you too!

[EliotJoyce]

why would some one not like this?

[waitswatcher]

@EliotJoyce

tastes differ ... :-)

[EliotJoyce]

I mean enough to hit a dislike button, it's exciting and interesting. I would guess Mr. Waits would approve/enjoy. If I say more nice things are you going to but a tab up for it????

[waitswatcher]

@EliotJoyce

hehe ... thanks!

I have a basic tab somewhere .... wait a minute ...

[waitswatcher]

@EliotJoyce

I'll put the link in the video description, as I cant post links here in the comments...

thanks a lot Sarah.

[jerryleelucas2]

o shit, this is amazing once again.

[waitswatcher]

haha.. jerry... you spent quite some time with my covers today, eh?!

very cool - glad you dig the instrumental cover idea.

I know it doesnt work for all songs that well, but there are some that I'm happy with the result, and this is one of them.

thanks for listening, ww :-)

[clarkstepo]

hey what is the tuning of the ukulele? issit standard tuning like the four strings of the bass or issit something odd? do u have a tab for this. what chords u using. this song kicks ass.

[waitswatcher]

The uke is in standard re-entrant tuning G-C-E-A with a high G.

You can find a rudimental tab on my site, in the tabs section:

freenet-homepageDOTde/ww-suppl­ement/tabsDOThtm

The 'four-stringed guitar' is called Ukulele.

[jeremythomas]

damn this is smooth

[jbobbylew]

woa

[pinthias]

Amazing.  Amazing

[Ghostiet]

This version is amazing in the technical point of view - although, the first atempt had... Well. It had a better, more groovy, latinesque feeling.

Still, you're the king.

[waitswatcher]

I agree with that ... the first version had a certain charme, difficult to reproduce.

thanks, ww

[fai7th]

awesome!

[covjekfrizider]

amazed!

[kayotof]
