Change - Ukulele cover

[ExpertGamrZZ]

I know, it's incredibly sad.

But we can play harder and keep his spirit alive.

My brother and I play this song a few times a week. I play the harmonica and sing, he plays the guitar.

I know the guitar chords and everything, but trying to play it, and sing, and play harmonica is taxing.

I'll get it one day. :]

[ExpertGamrZZ]

Blind Melon is amazing! And so are you! Busting out over a hundred great songs, you are an inspiration my friend.

I've been on a guitar/singing binge session for the last 4 hours thanks to you!

[BaronK69]

@ExpertGamrZZ Thanks man! Glad if I have inspired you to play. And I agree: Blind Melon is awesome, and they could have gone far if Shannon Hoon hadn't od'd on us...

[TruthJunior]

how on earth did you do this???? this is one of my favorite songs but i can't figure it out on the uke

[BaronK69]

@TruthJunior Well I haven't played it in a while but I think it's pretty much D C and G thru the whole song. Fret D as a barré on the second fret with your pinky and play around with some adlibs on the melody theme and you're there!

[officialbloodymayhem]

Solid; amazing cover!

[BaronK69]

@officialbloodymayhem

Thank you! Glad you like it.

[fildavibe]

dats a pretty uke...what kind bra??

[BaronK69]

It's my Argapa, hand made just for me by my friend Sven (youtube name: argapaukulele). It's got a nice cedartop and a body of old mahogany from a boat.

[alwaysCMONEY]

Your playing the ukulele left-handed, lol but in a way i meant both.

[BaronK69]

Hmm... I know sometimes youtube seems to flip the vid, but I'm actually playing right handed - can you read the t-shirt?

[alwaysCMONEY]

Nice one man and a plus cuz your lefty. Deff a good job, one of my favorite bands too.

[BaronK69]

Thank you! But why do you think I'm a lefty? Or did you mean politically?

[faithtruthlove07]

[BaronK69]

Thank you Leslie! Glad you liked it.

[UKISOCIETY]

I don't know BM, but this is great!

[BaronK69]

Thank you Alan! It's an old hippie band from the grunge era, you should check 'em out - the singer is great.

Snyggt mannen! Ser lite ut som du strummar över halsen för att skona locket?

Vi hörs / Sven

[BaronK69]

[boozelele]

awesome dude. I actually saw Blind Melon in concert one time, with non other than Pearl Jam and Neil Young. it was a very strange mix in the audience. But a great show. Nice job here buddy.

[BaronK69]

Thanks Booze! That sounds like a pretty awesome concert...

[kennymelodica]

Thank you Michael! I appreciate it. The uke is really sweet. And loud!

[BaronK69]

Thank you Todd! It's a snazzy new shirt huh?

[MrPlatypus70]

Awesome, I love this band too. The whole first album is great, but this is my favorite song too, and you really nailed it!!

[BaronK69]

Thanks man! Yeah, it's a great song by a great band.

[bummerwolf]

Nice!

[BaronK69]

Thanks!

[russbuss415]

i like me some blind melon too. awesome job big bro, vocals were top notch!

[BaronK69]

Thanks li'l bro! You could probably do this in the original key, but I had to take it down from G to D. Which made it much easier to play on the uke...

[uketreehugger]

you can do no wrong.

[BaronK69]

Thanks Aly, I appreciate it greatly.

But there have been moments when I've done stuff and people have said "Man...that's just wrong!"...

[ruth7784]

I'm a bit disappointed you haven't done another awesome original lol, but great cover! :-) X

PS My mum lurves you! lol.

[BaronK69]

Well, all in due time Ruth - I'm not as good a lyricist as you, so it takes time for me to figure out what to sing about...

Tell your mum I lurve her right back. I'm easy that way...

[ken6675]

wow baron thats one of the coolest acoustic songs ever done. and you kicked major ass on the uke, great job buddy.

cheers

Ken G

[BaronK69]

Thanks KenG - glad you dug it!

[deach69]

That kicked ass!

[BaronK69]

Thanks Deach! It's an awsome song.

[adellethegreat]

I am a total Melonhead- one of my fav bands. I was so excited when I was this posted!! Yay Baron!

[BaronK69]

Glad you liked it Adelle - I was hoping you would. I loved Blind Melon too - Hoon had a very special voice. I think he sang backing vocals on GnR's November Rain.
