The song is played exactly how it it tabbed out.

Superb! Your playing is exciting. Thank you for making this video available.

Also, I love the look and sound of your ukulele. Even over the limited bandwidth, I can sense it's clarity and warmth. What sort f wood is the instrument made of? Sycamore? Myrtle? Your playing style and this uku make a great marriage!

Finally, is there any reason why you didn't choose a cutaway version of your ukulele? No need for the higher register?

Thank you. I look forward to your reply.

Peace All Ways, Edward

Thanks for the kind words.

The wood is mango - indeed no need for a cutaway, Mya Moe, the maker doesn't offer it anyway - in country blues it's "forbidden" to go over the 12th fret :-)

Almost as if you can smell the campfire in the middle of the wood. You sir, made me get up from bed, get my uke and start playing. I will get back to you with results.

Awesome playing. Lots of feel.
