Heres my entry! I thought I'd try with some fun 10 finger strums at the start.

The vid is sorta sloppy, but it gets the job done.

Great contest idea!!!!

Hey, it's a contest I could actually enter!

Here's my attempt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPtbunGYKHI

I added some crap and made it longer than it should be, but what the heck, it's fun.

Now, that is cool! I am going to try the beginning chords too next time I play Gently Weeps...
This uke sounds extra extra good.

First off, thanks grappler for the kind words for my first attempt.

Now... Here is my final entry to your contest. I had more time to practice up and I like how this one turned out.
Thanks for watching.

yet another great entry to add to all the other ones.
It's pretty cool seeing how everyone is doing their own "thing" with it.

Very nice!

Nice one

Closing date delayed...

I have to wait for my new internet connection to be installed before I can use my webcam again. So the closing date is going to be pushed a little bit further in time until I can use the internet properly... Sorry guys.
New deadline: 11:59, UK time, on July 22th. Should leave plenty of time for everybody.

berylbite · Jul 16, 2009

Dang, I might explode with anticipation before then.

Gentr1 · Jul 23, 2009

And the winner is...

Sorry for not posting a video, but my home connection is still not working...
So, first, all entries are quality. Congratulations for your playing, guys.
I feel ashamed I have to make a choice. But, I only have one ukulele to spare.
My choice is very much subjective I am afraid. I have been hesitating between the strumming mastery of thejumpingflea and the creativity of berylbite.
Hats off to both performances.
As I have to choose, I will go for originality .
berylbite you are the winner.
Contact me at mehdi.khoury@gmail.com and I shall arrange for the uke to be sent at your address.
Thanks to you all for participating. That was most interesting, and in the future, I shall try to pick some strumming ideas from your entries...
Cheers!
