Everyone Says I Love You (or is that "I Love Uke"?)
Просмотров 805 месяцев назад
"Ev'ryone Says 'I Love You' " (1932), from the Marx Brothers movie "Horse Feathers". In the movie, each of the 4 brothers do their own separate verse-chorus renditions. I'm just doing the one from the sheet music, which is Zeppo's part. I did an instrumental version of this song years ago as background music for a video, but recently I stumbled across a copy of the sheet music in a store. Some ...
Screwing around on the tungna (stringed instrument from Nepal)

Some people saw me mention this instrument or saw my photos of it and wanted to know what it sounded like. I play around with different tunings, but usually have the lowest two in unison, and the rest tuned in fourths.
"Black Coffee" - ukulele jazz play-along (chords in description)
Просмотров 210Год назад
I decided to record this with my new Mitchell MU100CE ukulele. This particular version of the jazz standard "Black Coffee" (not to be confused with the Humble Pie or Black Flagg songs of the same title) was from Julie London, 1960. I first heard it circa 2000 on one of the "Ultra Lounge" CD compilations. I have the sheet music from one of the Real Books. But as is typical with jazz recordings, ...
R.I.P., Tony Lewis of The Outfield - Bill M.'s uke tribute ("Take The Long Way Home")
Просмотров 3383 года назад
I was shocked to hear of the passing of Tony Lewis from The Outfield. I bought their first album when it was big. I was about 10 years old at the time. But that and the two albums to follow were spun countless times in my cassette players. Of course, I continued to follow their career on CD. in 2018 I had the pleasure of finally meeting Tony Lewis as he toured with a number of 80s nostalgia act...
R.I.P., Eddie Van Halen - Bill's uke-strumming tribute
Просмотров 1723 года назад
I was listening to this song along with a lot of other VH on the night of his passing. So I decided to learn it this afternoon. No, I didn't bother to do any fancy EVH tricks on the 6-string uke (though I do like two-hand tapping on my bass). Just accompaniment while I belt out the Sammy Hagar. Chords are below. "When It's Love" Intro & closing: D (as 2225) D/G (2235) D5 (2255) A || D D/G D5 G ...
You Can't Stop the Yanks (1918, recorded 2020)
Просмотров 1173 года назад
"You Can't Stop the Yanks" is a World War One era song from 1918, written by Bostonians Jack Caddigan and Chick Story. The composition itself is in the public domain. But here's my rendition on ukulele, bass, and vocals. I wanted to do a WWI song at the last minute for July 4th, so I pulled this from a 1910s music book (I hadn't heard the song before today) and went ahead to learn and record it...
One Note Samba (ukulele play-along)
Просмотров 4094 года назад
This is one of my favorite Latin jazz standards. I'm playing over the 1962 Leroy Homes version, which I got from the Ultra-Lounge "Bossa-novaville" compilation. I got the sheet music from the enormous Hal Leonard "Latin Fake Book", and changed a couple of the chords according to what seemed to fit the recorded version. The changes are at the bottom of this description. The chorus melody is some...
Crazy Little Child (ukulele, Alice Cooper)
Просмотров 1934 года назад
Yes, Alice Cooper did some jazz! Cover of "Crazy Little Child" (1973). I got most of the transcription from the "Alice Cooper Complete" sheet music book which was published around the time of this album. But I added some interpretations that sounded more accurate to me. I also use the Gmin7 and Gmin a bit interchangeably, as I do with the Eb and Eb7. Intro: G5 Gmin | Eb7 Eb | Cmin7 D7 | Gmin Eb...
Fly Me To The Uke (play-along)
Просмотров 834 года назад
Playing along with "Fly Me To The Moon", the 1963 Julie London rendition. This is my favorite version of this famous jazz standard, and as you can hear, it was done in a much more Latin jazz style. It shows up as a ghost track on the "Bossa-Novaville" compilation of the Ultra-Lounge series, which is where I first heard it. I've seen different transcriptions of this, but here are the changes in ...
Alice Cooper, Dance Yourself to Death (ukulele)
Просмотров 1994 года назад
Celebrating the 40th anniversary of Alice Cooper's "Flush the Fashion" album with a track I used to play at the coffee houses. And yes, I'm wearing the Energy Dome just because of the line "...she wears a high-tech Devo suit...". The chords are pretty simple when you strip things down: Verses: A | E (3x, then to...) Amaj7 | E Prechorus: B | E (3x, then to...) B7 | E Chorus: F#7 ("I smile and wi...
"Pennies from Heaven" in mask and gloves
Просмотров 774 года назад
Here's my attempt at playing "Pennies from Heaven" (1936) in my mask and latex gloves. Frustrating, but not as impossible as I thought it would be. Is this how musicians will look in live performances once the quarantine is over? We'll see. I've seen a few different transcriptions of this old standard, but here are the chord changes I'm more or less playing: C | E-7 Ebdim7 | D-7 | G7 C | E-7 Eb...
From Emulating Heroes to Developing Your Own Style
Просмотров 354 года назад
All of the greats have had their share of influences from previous virtuosos. But how do you go from emulating your heroes, to developing your own style? I don't think there's a magic solution, but I always liked this particular story from bassist Michael Manring. Even if you're not a bass player, but aspire to be like your heroes in some other creative field (art, writing, stand-up comedy, etc...

Such an underrated comedy.
Rachel Bilson had a childhood birthday party with the whole cast of this film, her dad directed it.
I used to love this movie. Rest in peace Richard Lewis, Louie Anderson, Richard Belzer and Brion James.
RIP Richard and we thank you

THANKS DUDE FOR A TOP FLIGHT PARODY! WELL PRODUCED AND SUNG! 100%!
👏 Brilliant
I ain't got no money
The chords are in the description but it would be easier if you just made a tutorial
Omg thank you so much for taking the time to write detailed instructions on how to play
I cannot stop reload this video.
Not talking Fake Books here. But one of the biggest detriments to new say Guitar players. Is books rather in Tab or Notation. That take liberty in "Dumbing down" or just plane get the Transcription wrong. If you know how a song goes. And you are trying to play/learn by reading. And what your playing doesn't sound right. You not thinking these books are wrong. Blame yourself and think you are not cut out to be a Musician. And often people give up. Not everybody can afford a teacher to show them and so they learn or try to from these books. RUclips thankfully has been a Godsend to some degree. But even on here their "Note for Note" lesson is their Version. And don't get me started with people talking how to read notation values and time. That NEVER play it. Just tell you the value. While sitting at their Piano.
"That's alright, the albums doing well" 😆
Thanks for you effort on this. But man the songs of that era were terrible.
I remember this when the meaning was prevalent during the heroin 70s.
Came here after the Canadian election debates
As soon as this pun popped into my head, I knew, someone had actually made this. And y'all did a pretty good job on it.
I had the idea for this song a day ago. I googled it because I thought maybe someone made a meme already. Found this and was not disappointed.
God Bless America!
We are all blessed bro
Good
My daughter is learning the uke andher favorite person is Alice - she’s going to be stoked to see this
