Railroad Bill on a Taropatch

This an old folk/blues called Railroad Bill. I am playing a taropatch ukulele that I made myself. The tuning is like an ukulele but with unison pairs gg cc ee aa. I am wearing plastic fingerpicks and use a ragtime guitar picking pattern and a two finger banjo picking pattern.

Could it be played this nice on regular 4 string ukulele? (pineapple/soprano/concert) Because I so fcking love this and I want to play this:D

[ackeim]

@BajusTom of course, go for it!

[wesmatron]

Please forgive my ignorance, are is that an eight-string? (Four strings doubled)

[ackeim]

@wesmatron yup= 8 strings with each one doubled

[Hikikomori013]

That's really something. I love the sound.

I guess I'll have to add a metal strung tenor taropatch to my project list.
