guys this is great ! im trying to get into playing an instrument , i keep seeing these little ukes and im thinking its time to get one , ive got an acoustic guiter but it just feels to big + ive not got the biggest hands lol , time to pay me old man a visit as he got one in the 60's but never played it :) time to dust if off ,
this is Contact by Roy Richards it is on the album ..Club Ska 67...which was re-issued around 1980/81...anyone who knows anything about Ska , Rocksteady , Skinhead Reggae could have told you this.
this has inspired me to use a ukulele in my punk ska band. this is the type of ska my dad listened to when i was young haha, it made me so happy all the time. this is great stuff guys keep this up, and let me download your recordings for free to share with my squatter friends lol
2 tone and first wave ska are the most bad ass musical styles i know, i love this. i play ska, have since i was twelve, and i've never heard this song. i need to learn it, anyone know what it is?
Actually Well108, your incorrect, A chromatic scale is a scale consisting entirely of half-step intervals. A 10 hole DIATONIC harmonica have keys assigned to them because they cannot reproduce all 12 notes, A 12-16 hole CHROMATIC HARMONICA DOES NOT HAVE A KEY, it can produce ANY key, theres nothing confusing about it, and it has nothing to do with a sax layout, If you think about for 2 seconds you might get it. The more you try to fake knowing dumber you make yourself and everyone you misinform.
you mean the "bavarian" music? today this is just show for tourists like the hula girls on hawai, i think there is no real classical bavarian music anymore ;)
Could you send me the harmonica tabs for this? I'm learning the instrument and am most interested in playing ska on it, but tabs for ska songs are a bit lacking. It would be much appreciated!
I'm sorry but we dont have a clue about tabs and things like that. We just play by ear. Best advice I can give is to play along with it until it sounds ok.
OK, so the name of it was Contact. We have a winner! Now you guys do another please so we can guess its name, ha ha ... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Loved it.

Maybe it's not one cup of coffee by Marley. It sounded real close to the sublime cover of the song tho.

So is that a chromatic harmonica? if so, what kind of chromatic harmonica? do they come in different keys?
titostacos 2 years ago
There is no way a "chromatic harmonica" could come in different keys because chromatic means all the notes including sharps or flats.

If this is not a chromatic it probably is a tremolo

Depends on the phone, I guess. I'm not very high tech so I just recorded this with my phone's built-in recorder and saved as a ring tone.
