UU Podcast Heavy Instruments & Odd Reggae | The Ukulele Underground Podcast #75



Tonewoods, Tuners, Songwriting Challenges and Heavy Instruments​

Magical Funkmaster Mike is making his return to the podcast to discuss everything from Reggae in odd time signatures to the weight of instruments affecting their sounds. We also deliberate our favorite tonewoods, stealth tuners vs gilbert tuners, bigger headstocks, and the infamous Ka`au Crater Boy's 2 finger pull off technique. The podcast is topped off with the guys playing their songs for the songwriting challenge, singing Happy Birthday to Aaron, and announcing a couple of upcoming festivals.
