Hey thanks Brenda! I've been around - but most people are into the singin' and strummin' (not that there's anything wrong with that) but I'm not much of a singer. Glad you enjoyed these tunes!

Wow! Great stuff! I am speechless.
Holy moly!
Fantan.
You must be a jazz guitarist?
I would love to hear about your transition to uke, if there was one.

Thank you Margaret, you're welcome!
You are so welcome!
Thank you! I'm more of a jazz wannabee
I also play guitar and 5-string banjo and I merged some techniques from both and transferred them to the ukulele. Whatever instrument, I always try and play the music I love and jazz is one of them. Anyway, after hearing Jake play I realized that this instrument has not limits, so anything is game!

so wild good, brother.
how you managed to arrange Bird's song blows my mind,
and play it so beautifully.

Laurence,
Being new to the uke, and relatively new to this site, I have since found many members here I have denoted ‘heroes’ of mine and a complete inspiration to me. I’ve just discovered you and immediately listed you among their exhaled ranks! lol
Seriously, great playing and feel my new friend. I look forward to seeing much more from you over the months to come.
Luv n stuff,
Dave

Wow, wonderful, Laurence! Love it! Jazz sounds great on the uke!
So glad you enjoyed it! Yes, I think that just about any kind of music can be played on the uke
Thanks Dave, that's quite an honor - hope I don't disappoint!
Thanks, you just said what every musician would like to hear. Not too sure about the "ease" part, that is just an illusion!
Well, somebody's got to do it
Glad you enjoyed my attempt at this tune by Bird...Similar threads
