The Velvet Underground - Heroin

Uploaded by tobasi on Jun 15, 2007
I prefer to play this song late in the evening so please excuse the bad lighting. For the first time I recorded with my new ukulele so I chose a song with only two chords. I don't get along with the ukulele tuning, I tune it similar to the four highest strings of a guitar: c#'', g#', e', b. The great advantage of the ukulele is its small size but concerning the sound and the potential I definitely prefer the guitar.
The song is long though the acceleration of the pulsating rhythm makes it interesting. I don't take drugs but "Heroin" describes a bit what I believe it must be like.
Oh yes, if you don't like grimaces you shouldn't watch...
If you want to play this on a guitar (or on a ukulele tuned like a guitar) the chords are the following. The letters indicate the string, the numbers the fret. With "0/3" I indicate that you (can) alternate between empty string and the 3rd fret by hammering on and pulling off. "X" stands for don't play this string:
D major
E--2/0/3
B--3
G--2
D--0
A--X
E--X
G major
E--0/3
B--0/3
G--0
D--0
A--2
E--3

great cover. very unique and original. I like that.
by the way, you remind me so much of Michael Shannon, has anyone ever told you this before? surely I couldn't have been the first to mention this to you. also, that is in no way an insult at all, I would actually say it is more like a compliment, albeit a weird one at that.
anyway, thank you for the great video.

@knuhcx: No, nobody has mentioned a resemblance to Michael Shannon to me before. I do get comments about resemblances to all kind of people but I don't mind.
