He'eia (Ukulele, Traditional Hawaiian Song)

He'eia is an traditional Hawaiian song about the Kings favorite surfing spot. It was originally a chant that has been adapted to ukulele. Carl Ray VillaVerde plays both rhythm and lead in this version.
He and wife Joannie form a duet called "Mango" and have produced a number of entertaining recordings. There is a site where downloads and CD's are available at http://cdbaby.com/cd/mangolilikoi

He's using what is called a loop pedal wich records up to around 40sec of music playback, He record's his first strum by the tap of the pedal, which plays back his first strum, at the same time, he can add other thing's on top like (scaling, and picking etc) and record/playback these aswell.

But in this case he just use's the first strum and adds on top of it, with the help of the loop pedal, which is a very handy pedal to use for solo's........i have this equipment myself.....Guitarist

@JESSePAUL100, No looping electronics were used. In the "info" it explains, "Carl Ray VillaVerde plays both rhythm and lead in this version." We taped the rhythm and played it back and he accompanied himself playing leads the second time. You can see dissolves between them. When his right ear has a dark patch, that is the headphones used for him to hear himself for the taping the leads.

its like everytime he plucks a string once he makes the ukulele double the sound unless there is another guy playing im not seeing i like it though

[Christopherabrown]

@intupspaturken You are mostlyright. In the info is a description of what is happening. He plays rhythm first then plays leads.
