Jimmy: Your presence in the Dizzee video was spotted by cardboardfrog. Nice work!

Art: I think it’s mostly the riff rather than strumming. Those are the chords for the original – you’d have to transpose the riff for it to fit those chords. Have a good time in Baja.

Noah: Glad you’re enjoy them.

Ah mr. woodshed, once again! Keep them coming! There is nothing better that having a group of friends over and the look on their face with some of these fun lil riffs being portrayed so dynamically on the uke

Al, good job on the riffs, headed for Baja soon so I will have to learn it.
Could you give a version of the strum you would use? Seems like the chords go C, F, G . And the fancy strum would be on the G?

Thanks

Ha….I worked out La Bamba a few years ago…never getting it quite right….then I tried to translate the lyrics: “I’m not a sailor…I’m the captain!”

Cheers for that!

Dizee Rascal also has a ukulele in his next video for “Dirty Cash”….”how do I know that?” I hear you ask ;-)
