Mother What'll I Do Now - Chords

Hello again ... it's been a while! I've had two or three requests for the chords to this song. First of all I apologise for my awful singing. Whilst not great at the best of times I'm suffering with a cold again just now.

I'm testing out showing the chords on screen as I play rather than trying to explain as I do it. Please let me know if this is better or worse.

For those that still haven't worked it out I can't play both left and right handed (I wish!) I'm left handed but flip the video to make it consistent with everyone else.

DISCLAIMER: I don't have a chord sheet for this song and I can't quite remember where I learnt it from so I can't guarantee these chords are all right! I use these all the time and have performed this song before but if you know better / different chords please feel free to add comments below.

Hi Peter , i noticed you changed the tail piece on your monarch . Why ? and who could do mine , Cheers D

@dickyban Hi. The uke I'm playing in this video is a genuine pre-war Abbott I was lucky enough to get hold of last year. The Mitchell Monarch I had (Number 31) was sold when I bought this. The two were pretty much identical to look at apart from the pre-war has a black nut (made of ebony believe it or not) and the Mitchell a white one. The tailpiece on the pre-war may be abbott's own custom design, the closest match would be a Nashville Tailpiece which are about 10 pounds to buy.

Hi Peter, Great job, you're becoming a real techie.

By the way is that the banjo uke you thought you may have lost and we were all searching for at Blackpool?

[petercnixon]

@cauldwell100 Yes it is.  Of course it was just me gormlessly leaving it on a chair rather than anyone running away with it!

@banjoddave play the fingering, notes will be different! i.e D 0003 becomes C 0003. See strumminsimon posted vid for GCEA (C tuning) chords in his comments. Peter - the chord annotations are good on screen. You could quite easily put both the D tuning and C tuning chords with the fingering pattern, as a lot of us seem to be playing/learning in C. Thanks for flipping the screen too...!

[banjoddave]

Hi Peter thanks for all your videos. I play in GCEA. Is there any reason why I shouldn't play the keys shown although the fingering would be different of course.

[simonellson]

excellent, really enjoyed it.

Please upload more videos with your Abbott, Peter! (I will upload some myself real soon....)

[ukulelezaza]

Oooo I love the sound of that Abbott. Nice sweet playing too.

@petercnixon Geek... ;)

Your videos have been a great help starting me with my banjo uke. Maybe one day you'll find the time for a break down of this solo? I hope so.

Thanks and keep making your videos!

[dickyban]

That sorts it then Peter , i thought you had pimped your uke , black pegs for white ones and all . i have a mitchell monarch n0 40 , is there much difference in the weight ? compared to real thing . cheers D ps keep putting these up with chords, could you do make a good living at that and photo in the press ? cheers
