Piano Forte Cover (Ukulele)

This is a cover of Jake Shimabukuro's Piano Forte as heard from his Live album. This song requires some pretty significant finger stretches and is difficult to pull off on tenor ukes, at least for me. In this video I'm using the William King ebony/spruce long scale concert ukulele, which has a 16" scale instead of the normal 15" concert scale.

As with most of the Jake arrangements I've learned, special thanks goes out to Dominator. Thanks Dom!

Another fine one George. I like the whole video- framing, outside with redwing blackbirds singing, the blue sky framing you- it all fits nicely!

[gx9901doublex]

Thanks! Haha, I didn't actually try to frame anything. Just put the camera down and hoped that me and the uke is in the frame. :P

You sound more and more impressive with every video, George!

[gx9901doublex]

Haha, you're being too kind, Jon. But thanks for the compliment!

[Dominatoruke]

That was really awesome George and the King Tenor Spruce top sounds better than ever.
