I don't know where to put this link so maybe one of the moderators can do it for me please :bowdown:
This is a one-take but carefully edited instruction video for RJs ragtime tune - Hot Tamales. I used my fine pix camera in video mode so there is no sophisticated recording going on here except I bounced some artificial daylight from a studio lamp off the ceiling of the room to neutralise the contrast - pretty good representation and shows off the lovely color and curl of the uke.
It's played on the concert uke I used as a demo for the kit building process and takes you through the basic way I play it. I'm sorry folks but I haven't time to tab this out for you but it is simple enough. There is some on screen help with chords. However here is the progression I use:
Also, it's not ukulele playing but guitar technique applied to the uke. This tune is great strummed in a jug band and the breaks will give you the opportunity to fingerpicking shine too.
Have fun:music:

- C E7 A A7 D7 G7 C G7 played twice then
- C C7 F Ab7 as the bridge/option to break up the monotony
- C E7 A A7 D7 G7 C G7 ending the verse
