John Mayer - Heart of life (ukulele cover)

Hugs are underrated!

So, I bought a ukulele when I moved to the US, a Mele Ukulele from Hawaii. Have not used it too much, but I thought I'll give it a try.
Also got myself a mic, a Rode M3, for recording of instruments. So, with some of time on my hands, and new stuff that needs testing, why not record a new song?

Love John Mayer, and like most covers out there, this does not match the original. But still fun to record.

Gear used; Mele Ukulele (Soprano), JamMam looper, Rode M3 condenser mic and a Marshall Mini Twin Amp. The whole thing is recorded with a Vado HD pocketcamera.
Tabs; http://ukulelehunt.com/ukertabs/heart-of-life-john-mayer/

Got tired of the neighbours playing some hip hop thing to loud, I desided that this would do. I know I can do it better, but after a number of re-recording, the energy just went out of me.

Leave a comment, rate or subcribe, I would be really grateful!

Wheres the sunshine in your heart?

Edit;
There was some request for the picking and the solo in this vid, you can find it here; http://jikvig.com/ukulele-tabs/
Thanx again for watching!

Nice cover man but you are not using your equipment to its potential, you should record the sound through a computer and get the soft sound the M3 condenser microphone has
