My Tribute to John King with my New Ukulele! (Yay!!)

Here's an arrangement of the prelude from the Bach Cello Suites by the late, great, John King. Listening to him was my inspiration to start playing the ukulele.
Also, This is my new tenor uke! It is a Hudson HU30-T.

I saw John King's Bach Prelude, I found that beautiful, then I checked the upload date, it's 10 Ys ago, I thought oh, I don't even know this nice man is still alive or not, maybe he even passed away and this is the only thing we can keep listening to his music, the next suggested video told me that he passed away, well.....I didn't know him, but I hope he rest in peace, thank him for his music.

John King was, and still is, an inspiration to so many. Sadly missed. Thank you for this, it was a delight.

[@JonHydeMusic]

Yes, he put the uke on a pedestal for the world. A great musician.

Jon Hyde We are as one on that. Btw, you might also be interested in what's happening with harp ukuleles. Adds another depth to this fantastic instrument.

this is great I just bought the same book I don't think I'm good wnough player yet to play this

[@JonHydeMusic]

There are some tricky stretches in this piece! Try just taking it a couple of bars at a time, and practise it along with your regular practise regime. It took me a long time to get this together, and as you can see it is not free of mistakes :p

[@aisyah8773]

+Jon Hyde thanks for the advise I'm going to try :) I picked up a uke last November and I'm really enjoying it.

[@jgarber235]

Nice playing. What brand of tenor uke is that?

[@JonHydeMusic]

Thanks! It is a Hudson HU30-T purchased from Cranes Music in Cardiff :)
