Instrumental - H.M. Blues (Slide Ukulele)

OLARN · Jul 4, 2011

H.M. Blues, the song was written by the King of Thailand long time ago. And this song is a very good example for all fingerstyle ukulele players to start with. My intention is to try this song with open strings slide ukulele. Please enjoy!
This song, I use KoAloha KTM-00 with low G, tune open strings (from 4th string - 1st string) E-A-C#-E

That was just great! For anyone who's played slide, or tried to play slide, will recognize how nice this playing is. I was impressed with the lack of fret noise.
I'm ready for another song! Thanks for sharing

Wow - that sounds amazing! I've been thinking about getting a steel string uke so I could raise the action on it and play slide uke. But maybe I don't need steel strings! Did you raise the string height on your uke at all to make it easier to play slide?

Hi marymac, thanks for your comments. Actually I did file the saddle a bit lower (around 2 mm) from the original set up from the factory though. This way I need to control my left hand not to press the fretboard too heavy while using slide, but I could do other thing easier when not using slide too.

This was great! Glad to know the blues is alive and well in Thailand.
