Singin' in the Bathtub on Ukulele

Continuing the "songs played by R. Crumb" theme, I tried to play this old chestnut as a ukulele solo tonight.
Gee, it was harder than I thought it would be. And now I also notice that I should lose a beat on that second chord. There's trial and error for ya!

But don't worry, people, 'cause there's many great versions of this tune on this very site, so do check 'em all out!!

Shit!!...... I can't........ That's what I'm saying while I'm learning this tune.ha ha

Nice feel to it even though it's a bit tricky... You are one of my favorite ukulele players on YouTube. By watching your videos I'm starting to sound as though I know how to play a little. So a big thank you!!! To me, the ukulele sounds better in D tuning than C ...... more 'ukey'...... Do you always play in D tuning even when playing with the C tuned players? Keep them videos a comin' :-)

@superbadbrad Gee, thanks, superbad! Would love to hear you play.

Yep, I always play in D, because that's the way I learned it and now it's too late to change. Other ukers tend to get real confused when I play along, as I play all these wrong chords shapes, the wrong way around.

Anyway, have fun with the uke!

Wow, what feel and swing...camerastand had iets interessanter gemogen...'t is alsof je jezelf in je "hemd" zet ;-)

[wininboy]

Ik weet het.

Het origineel filmpje ziet er nog "redelijk" goed uit, maar dan knipt dat computerprogramma nog de boven- en onderkant weg ook!

Ik zal nog wat oefenen en eens een tweede keer proberen om het deftig te doen.

Shit five stars. Goed gekrabt en de beste kritiek is zelf kritiek. Het swingt toch prima. En een klein haperingetje is menselijk.

[wininboy]

Dank je, Hein!

Ik moet dit nummertje nog wat oefenen, zodat alles wat vlotter "loopt". Maar het gaat al een stuk beter vandaag, merk ik. Ik zal eens een "take 2" moeten maken...
