First Real Song Video

I can't get a good audio recording and it's driving me nuts, but here you go:

I'm very new to music in general and ukulele/singing specifically, so I know that I'm terrible and welcome any and all criticism. I value truth above all else so please be honest.

Thank you very much for reading/looking.

good job Ben! this is a tough one to play and sing at the same time. the only thing i would suggest is to slow it down a bit. you got the riff and strumming down well, just need to relax and play it laid back, jack johnson style.

now keep em comin'!

That was AWESOME! Don't listen to Russ. There are too many relaxed players out there. Rock out!!! lol

Thanks, guys. I don't know why I tend to go so hard and fast...though I did have like 4,000 dollars worth of cocaine in me at the time, so that may have something to do with it.

Maybe if I imagine seaweed swaying in the summer breeze...but that wouldn't make much sense.

Seriously, I suppose it may feel easier faster...I don't know why. I guess that probably has something to do with my being unable to make my vocals audible above the uke.

Thanks again for watching and responding. It helps.
