      Thanks for your comment. I replied to this in some comment: Actually, I switched to a bass ukulele. I wanted to try playing in a band. We managed to form one, but the bass was needed so I tried it and I love it. Well, a bass ukulele is a bass, just uke size, so I'm still learning a new instrument. ua-cam.com/video/bFgn1bYeCx0/v-deo.html
      But I'd like to try some classical music on bass uke sooner or later :).

    I never even considered Bach being played on a ukulele. You did a magnificent job. Bravo!

      The positive comment was well deserved. Delightful rendition, thank you. You might find the Emerald Synergy Harp Ukulele of interest. That maintains sustain like you wouldn't believe.

  •  11 років тому +1

    Thanks. Yes, but I was surprised I could play it on ukulele. Just one part beginning 1:34 should be lower so I just repeated the previous one, but I think except that part 2 octaves do the trick.
    Link to tabs is in description. I made it according to guitar sheet.
    Thanks for the post on FB!
    And about King - I've read about him, but don't have his book:/

    +Bob Cunningham Thanks for your comment. I was using webcam for recording so the quality was really bad, sorry for that. I'm using my phone now so it should be better.
    Great to hear you are starting with ukulele. Wish you best of luck, it's a great instrument. For me tenor size uke has a clearer sound so it's better for classical pieces or fingerpicking of any kind. Also more space for your finger on fretboard :). But concert ukes are also nice, I think it has a little sweeter sound and is better for chords - easier to hold some of them (comparing ukes I have). You can compare it with my latest video Swingy Tune (on Ukulele) it's concert size uke.

      Hello Jakub; what a magnificent performance and so properly done. I'm glad to say I started playing this beautiful little instrument a little over a year ago; I've always enjoyed Bach's works along with the other great composers of the Baroque period. Thanks to your work; I am hoping to learn this great piece soon. I will upload a video whenever I manage it, thanks again for inspiring a newbie like me. :) : :======(= o )

    •  10 років тому

      Ukulele Zech Hi and thanks a lot for a nice comment. Yeah, ukulele is just great, I love it! I was amazed when I found out that it's possible to play this great piece on ukulele.
      Well you are really good so I'm looking forward to your video. Do you have tabs for "Fur Elise" by any chance?
      And most importantly - enjoy your playing :).

    My 6 y/o daughter pointed out that your uke looks just like mine (LU-21C?) and suggested you might have borrowed it to film this. I had only to point out how much better yours sounds when played to clear that one up! Guess I can't blame the instrument anymore! LOL Awesome playing, by the way. I'll be checking back to follow your fingerwork. Thanks!

  •  12 років тому

    Aww, that's cute. Obviously she has a good eye for ukulele. This is LU-21TE, it has a very nice and clear sound. I'm very happy with this one.
    Thank you for a nice comment. Enjoy your playing!

  •  11 років тому

    Well I don't know how to play these yet, but they are on the list:). I should take a look for some nice tabs and learn to play it. Actualy I haven't learned anything new for a long time.. I should do something about it. Thanks for your encouraging comment.

    That was great. I am insoired when I watch you play. Yet, I'm surprised that you do not have a video for Fur Elise or Palchalbel's Canon In D. Maybe you can make such a video (of either)? I'd love to see your interpretation of either of these songs. Thank you for your videos. Keep up the good work! I am just learning the ukulele myself now. :)

    Heh, sorry, I misunderstood the question. I'm using external usb sound card, it's Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro. It is relatively cheap sound card but the recordings are surprisingly nice. I'm not using any additional special equipment. I just connect the cord directly into 'mic in' input in the sound card, set the effect and start recording. Simple and sufficient for videos I'm making. If you need more details, just reply or send me a message.

    The video color balance seems to be shifting back and forth at about 1 Hz. Is this due to the camera, or UA-cam's encoding? If the camera, please disable "auto color correction" next time, or use a uniform background.
    The audio was excellent: SPLENDID arrangement and performance!
    I'm 58, and I'm starting my first uke lesson in about an hour. I'm using my sister's Lanikai LU-21C, and I was thinking about buying the LUTU-21C for myself. But after listening to you, I'm thinking the 21T sounds better! Hmmm, it's probably not the instrument...

  •  11 років тому +1

    Thank you, James. 'Concert Hall' is one of the available recording effects on my soundcard. As it name says it should make the recording sound like it was made in a concert hall - it resonates more, sound is richer. You can hear the difference if you compare this video with my latest uke video (The Beatles - Yesterday). Is this description ok?

  • @bluedeangce
    @bluedeangce 11 років тому

    I really enjoy your performances in your videos. If you have time, I think you would be great at playing these songs. I am not skilled enough yet, and have to work up to it, and I continue to be inspired by your skill. I am looking at tabs and sheet music for Fur Elise now, and it's a bit overwhelming to me. This is going to take some serious time investment, not only to learn, but to master. :)

    It's ok, Im glad I can help.
