Ukulele - The Blues

Can you play the blues on uke?

All you need is a beard and a hard luck story!

The blues, as we know it today, was invented in 1947 by Mr G Formby after crashing his 3rd Rolls Royce

Is there a mimimum required beard length for playing blues on the uke? I've been trying recently but my beard is only about 5mm long (except for the one extra long hair that escaped the clippers). I think my lack of beard length may be hampering my attempts at the blues. I have got quite long pubes, would that help?

To short and you're gonna miss out on that down n dirty look....though there is always the danger of getting your beard caught in the strings.

I can hold a harmonica in mine, which is useful!

Pubes...I may cover "hit the thing with your schlong" in a later vid...may have to post it on YOUPORN though!!!

I'm with mando here. I'm from america, and your accent rocks! It's like learning uke from Groundskeeper Willie. Thanks for the cool instruction.

I have the I Can't Grow a Blues-uk'in Beard Blues. (Its not a genetic thing, its cuz if I do, I'll get fired and then I'll be poor and homeless. And if I don't grow a beard, I'll be a blues poser.)
