Ukulele cover song
«

I was at a bit of a loose end this weekend so made a little cover version of one of favourite Jimmy Eat World songs & to make it a bit more of a challenge I decided to use the ukulele I very rarely play.
YouTube video of me & my uke right here
On a related note, I know nothing about strings for the ukulele. Any good brands to try? I think it came with D'Addarios on it, but they've been on for a couple of years now & could probably do with changing.

Thanks man, it was fun to make (well the video editing not so much, that was a bit of a pain. I think I need a better program for that).

That was very refreshing. Good singing too. You've encouraged me to break out my little babe again.

Oh fancy, it looks like a little baby Ovation guitar. :)

Hehe, I liked that.
I somehow ended up playing with a Uke orchestra at my mate's 40th bash:

Somehow I look almost sober (I'm the one wearing the Overkill shirt and cowboy hat), but I can't work out why considering how I felt the following day. :lol:

I watched Frank Skinner's program on George Formby on iplayer last night. Then I went on to Youtube checking uke lessons in that style. The man had some insanely brilliant right hand techniques and I'm tempted to go on a GF journey. His songs are so catchy and funny with marvelous synchopation.
