My favourite ukulele videos uploaded to YouTube in the past week.
Taimane recently turned in a suitably barnstorming performance at the memorial concert for Don Ho; with whom she had been playing since the age of 14.
Here, at a family reunion, she is markedly more restrained and relaxed than she is in most of her performances.
Albert Hammond, Jr – In Transit
With The Strokes taking a year off, guitarist Albert Hammond is focusing on his solo career. In it’s original version, this song featured I’ll forgive the use of a plectrum in this case.
Ukulele-Coolia – Tequila
Gus and Fin – California Sun
Ukulele + wooble board = fun.
This is a great feature, are you going to do it weekly? Hope so. I loved the last one, it would be a fun song for those who have uke clubs. It was interesting to watch Taimane pick only with her thumb while the rest of her fingers were planted on the uke body. I think she’s got a lot of potential but I wish she’d tone down the cheesy performing schtick, waving her uke around so much.
