Rats In The Pantry - A Reel

[ruth7784]

There wasn't "lots" of wrong notes. :-) Splendid playing, as always! Really like the style you were playing it in. :-) X

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@ruth7784 I am using my middle finger and doing mainly down strokes with lots of hammer-ons.

[andellzov]

the visual was especially striking. thanks for some inspiration.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@andellzov Thank you.

[Alfisher42]

Nice..Sounds great..

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@Alfisher42 Thank you.

[russbuss415]

fantastic Ken. i like the bounciness of the performance if that makes any sense at all.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@russbuss415 Thanks Russ. It is a tricky technique to use.

[krabbers]

superb Ken you have reel skill 

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@krabbers Thanks K.

[algo77515]

This piece gives some tonus! Thank you Ken.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@algo77515 Thank you.

[jhob101]

That's wonderful Ken, love it.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@jhob101 Thanks for watching.

[dharbott]

Super Ken - thanks for sharing this. The B&W lighting is great too.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@dharbott Thank you.

[pahu47]

Ohana has come a long way since their first  laminated attempts

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@pahu47 They have.

[pahu47]

Nice one, Ken..What model Ohana is that?

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@pahu47 It is a TK-35CG in D tuning.

[TheSillydave]

very nice ken!!! makes me want to get up and dance!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@TheSillydave Thanks Dave.

[jeffnstasia]

Thanks!! Neat!



[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@jeffnstasia Thanks.

[veloed]

Wonderful! 

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@veloed Thank you.

[TryingtoLearntheuke]

I hope to sound that good with all my glorious mistakes.  :-)

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@TryingtoLearntheuke Thanks very much.

[PortlyKnight]

All I can say is that your wrong notes are a lot more glorious than my right ones! Great job as always.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@PortlyKnight Haha. Thank you.

[JChoneybell]

Sounds Great Ken!!!!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@JChoneybell Thanks JC. I'm pleased with this tune.

[CrashWilde]

to good as usual :D

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@CrashWilde Thanks.

[mctrmt]

Wonderful, Ken. It does sound very tricky. But what else would you expect from rats?

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@mctrmt Thanks Mary-Anne. And I recorded it in D tuning imn preparation for my trip to NS in October. It sounds different.

[mctrmt]

@KenMiddletonUkulele

Good thinking- if you show up in Nova Scotia tuned in C who knows what kind of trouble you could get into!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@mctrmt haha. Lil Rev's declared he is going to teach his workshop in C tuning. I could almost hear the sharp intake of breath from here in England.

[floydbluethereal]

That's some fine playing, Ken! How do you call that style?

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@floydbluethereal It is a style I am working on. It is basivcally flat-picking , but without a plectrum. I don't know anyone else that does it.

[floydbluethereal]

@KenMiddletonUkulele Thanks, that's what I thought of, when I first heard that typical flatpicking sound (but without a pick). I use it sometimes, mostly on Neil Young covers or some country style stuff. It's nice to do all those hammering and pulling stuff with this picking technique.

[ItsMrPitchy]

Nice piece of music. Looks difficult and you played it beautifully.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@ItsMrPitchy Thank MrP.

[Ukerepublic]

Wondeful and lively!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@Ukerepublic Thanks very much.

[cokedan72]

Oh Ken, what are you doing to me, i still haven't got the Daisy Chain Jig out of my head yet (3 days and counting) and now another little splendid ditty to get stuck in my head...

Great job ken,. I love these dittys of yours very addictive :)

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@cokedan72 Haha. And I'm working on a couple more reels too.

[waterdog226]

That is one glorious piece of music, and I really enjoyed it.

[cblood56]

I should be able to play so many "wrong notes"!

Sounds wonderful.

I have about 5 of your easier arrangements memorized now, but i still have a hard time getting through them without goofups. Every once and a while I'll come close to playing on right.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@cblood56 Thanks for watching.

[IanReentrant]

Well, it got my foot tapping.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@IanReentrant I am working on this style of playing at the moment (mainly because no-one else is doing it).

[heinbanjo12]

Perhaps there are some wrong notes, but there are a lot of good ones.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@heinbanjo12 Haha. More good than bad, in fact, Hein.

[heinbanjo12]

@KenMiddletonUkulele Indeed.

[TheWildlifeStudio]

Even with the bum notes, that sounds like a nice piece of music. Thanks for sharing

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@TheWildlifeStudio Thanks. It is very tricky to play.

[idrnoel]

Something is wrong with my ears. I can't seem to hear any wrong notes.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@idrnoel Haha. Listen closely, they are there.
