Okay this is the last video I do before I give it up for a month.

This is on the Hilo Soprano Uke, I think it turned out okay! I'm really starting to love this instrument...I cant put it down!

looks like you have demystified the uke; finding the chords.
you are right about the uke being addicting. it is so much fun.
songs just pop out of those little suckers. eh?

Yeah they do!

And I actually feel more comfortable singing with the Ukulele than with the guitar which is odd. I dunno...I'm getting another one, a Tenor or Concert, need to check both of them out first.

But this has so far gone everywhere with me.

ukuleleunderground.com/forum is a really really good forum for this type of stuff. AMAZING players there.

Good job Joe. George Harrison loved his Uke too, so you're in great company. 8)

Good for you, and the uke's in tune too! :shock:

Yeah, you had a really great thread on tuning.8)

So, it's a song I always loved, and can play the lead to.

Challenge: try the Kinks or EVH "You Really Got Me!" :D

Great Job on the Uke - what tuning do you use?

oh and Dan - nice job on finding that youtube vid - he rocked!

Thanks!! I actually had someone request from me how to play the guitar version of this song, so I did so here:

But the uke is so cool. Love every bit of it.

great tune

It must be getting early, clocks are running late....

Paint by number morning sky looks so phony....

Dawn is breaking everywhere light a candle, curse the glare....

Draw the curtains, I don't care 'cause it's all right....
