   Yet again a quality selection, Woodshed. As always my particular favourites tend to be those taking the uke in different directions, (i.e. Chariots of Fire, Assault on Precinct 13). Thanks, as always.

   Thanks for considering my “Chariots”! But it escapes me why you (Woodshed) choose this one of all my videos. I still think this arrangement is too primitive!

   WS64, greetings,
   I think you’re being a tad harsh on yourself here. I really liked a) the way you played; b) the tune itself; c) the uke setup itself. All in all a delight. I don’t think it’s ‘primitive’ and am in agreement with Woodshed on this. I’m pleased he posted it. Thank you for playing.

   I’m a brand new ukulele player (there’s still packing foam in my hair), and this is very inspirational! I realize I’m very, very far from that level, but I loved the classical piece in the first video.

   A question about some of the videos (like the movie cover): Are they overlaying new tracks live in some way?

   WS64: I agree with Urbanmeister. I really like how direct and simple it is. I find it really inspiring when a tune is played minimally but very effectively.

   Janne: Glad you enjoyed them! In the Assault on Precinct 13 video? He’s using a looping pedal to layer the tracks. And a bunch of other effects too.
