HEY JOE - Hollesley 2010

Here's Tony and me messing around with the chord sequence to "Hey Joe". This was recorded during the Hollesley Festival last weekend.

I am playing an Ohana TK-75CG and Tony is playing my new Tom Guy cigar box uke (low G).

I thought about playing the uke with my teeth like Hendrix, but I thought it might seem like showing off. In any case, I don't have the hair for it.

Jeez Ken, that's brilliant. Beautiful even!

Do you know if Tony's uke was made by Paul Aguilera in Brighton?

It looks and sounds like it may have been?

Do you remember if it had a wound steel C sting?

Off to listen to it again!

Do you know the Tim Rose version of the song? That's what brought me here! (this thing won't let me post links!)

@JCMcGee Thanks Jimmy. Tony is playing my Tom Guy cigar box uke. It does have a low wound string.

I only know Jimmy Hendrix's version. I don't listen to much music, I'm afraid.

I like this a lot!

I just uploaded a new video of the Zurich Ukulele Orchestra,

we have a different line up then last year (due to people moving to other nations) and we have many areas where can still improve since all the new ''recruits'' have now been playing for 2 months. But feel free to check it out and leave a comment. It's called Hey Soul Sister.

Have a nice evening!

No idea. Play F C G D A all the way through.

@KenMiddletonUkulele what key are you playing in?
