[pnj4130]

What size/brand is that uke? do you use metal strings? it sounds great!

[facemeltingukulele]

Koaloha Tenor, with Thomastick-infeld classical guitar hybrid strings.

[BerylBite]

This is great.

[sco6t6t6]

DUDE that shit was insane. you should play the devil for a golden uke.

[facemeltingukulele]

LOL, thanks!

[7EyeMongoose]

thats some serious ukulele playing, face melting indeed.

[facemeltingukulele]

Thanks Mongoose!

[7EyeMongoose]

you're welcome :), just curious when do you know that ukulele was the instrument you wanted to play, i play many instuments and haven't found a calling yet.

[facemeltingukulele]

It was the first instrument I took the initiative to learn on my own. I'm mostly self taught on uke and guitar. I always found myself gravitating to the uke even after spending time playing mostly guitar. It comes down to what instrument you can best express yourself with, Which one really captures your musical voice and soul.

[WordSoldier]

now that's some bluesy uke..good stuff

[baileynoodles]

you rip!!

[facemeltingukulele]

Thanks a bunch Noodles!

[MoRgUe27]

[facemeltingukulele]

Thanks Russbuss, I think I've seen you on the UU forums?

[russbuss415]

yup that's me. cheers!

[ookeylaylee]

Fantastic! Are you using a special tuning for this song? What are the chords you use?

[facemeltingukulele]

Regular GCEA tuning. Not sure exactly what the chords are but its in the key of Cm. I'll get back to you about the chords.

[voicelead17]

i love it. i don't suppose you made a tab?

[facemeltingukulele]

sorry, no tabs yet. I'll let you know if I do get around to it though:P Glad you liked it!

[voicelead17]

thanks!

[carl7waters]

[facemeltingukulele]

Thanks!

[sirnubenegra]

by the way. how did you get that nice resonance? steel strings?

[facemeltingukulele]

Thanks for the comments, they're Thomastik-infeld classical guitar strings (hybrids).

[sirnubenegra]

fuking great!

[BradahNick]

brah dis iz mean!

shootz.

keep jammin.

[facemeltingukulele]

Mahalos for the comment and for subscribing!

[roverssoccer]

hey jason, saw ur show last night at the malibu inn, thought id check u out, ur awsome!!!

[facemeltingukulele]

Thanks! Glad you liked the show!

[CodyJarrett]

You was robbed.

I like Julia, she's definitely cute and her video was nicely edited, but...geez. On playing ability you totally blow her (and the other two who placed above you) away. You're like a uke God, like Iz K.

I don't know who was on the judging committee, but they owe you more than just tix to their podunk festival.

[facemeltingukulele]

CodyJarret, Thanks so much for the praise, though I'm hardly a "uke God":P Also in the defense of the good folks at Bushman it was a "video" contest not necessarily a playing contest, and I had zero production value. Plus I got a really awesome tweed case for free and an "artists discount" on all Bushman products, so I'm quite satisfied. Thanks again for the praise, its an honor to be compared to Braddah IZ. Much Mahalos!

[reynolds101]

Hello Jason. Really love this song. My friend and I started an acoustic project and have been incorporating ukulele into some stuff. We will be recording very soon and I would love to cover this with me on the uke and my friend playing guitar, maybe a little improv too. Im a bit curious, but do you have tabs for this? I'd send you it over myspace too when were done. Thank you, cheers

[facemeltingukulele]

I don't have tabs, and it comes out different each time I play it. Just blues in "C" essentially.

[jonnyflashuke]

Sweet

[seeso]

Wow, sounds great man.  Good luck.

[UKISOCIETY]

Rawkin'! I'm gonna learn this.

[facemeltingukulele]

Shouldn't be a problem, just simple blues chords. Message me if you get stuck although I'm not sure what I'm really doing:P

[Ukecaptain]

Please post more... you got it bad in a good way!

[facemeltingukulele]

Thanks #2 commenter ever. I'll definitely be posting more vids in the near future. Thanks for the encouragement!

[daveg4343]

Very much enjoyed that! This is on my short list uke favorites. Are you using low or high g?

[facemeltingukulele]

"high G" tuning on a Koaloha Tenor uke. Thanks for the comment! Congrats, you're the first comment ever!
