this is the life - amy macdonald cover

This the band i play in, Pisces Dream and we do this cover with a ukulele, a uke bass and guitar. It's a lot of fun, and my chance to get out from behind the drums and play out front with my band mates. Always a good time!

Uke Loops


As we all know, i'm loving uking it. I have now, discovered something else just to get me even more consumed with my uke. I know, it can be trouble... BUT AWESOME!
I've now been using a loop pedal with my electric uke. I'm loving the idea of keeping the rhythms and the patterns simple, but yet layering to get your effect. Using a variety of things to produce the sound you need to achieve it. Yeah, i don't know, it could go all a rye, or maybe i've found a new obsession to love, to grow..who knows.. here's a rough i'm working on.

Check it..

5ft2 and eyes of blue

A met a friend from japan and her name is Akiko.
She plays the ukulele as well,
and very well.
She leaves to go back in a couple days,
but tonight she came by and we had a little ukulele jam session.
It was a lot of fun!
I probably could have played the ukulele all night.

Anyways, Akiko taught me a few things, and i hope she learned a few tricks from me too.
She taught me a song called five foot two, eyes of blue.
The happiest little blues song.
I love the ukulele, such a happy little instrument.

Here is two recordings of us playing.
I had a good night.
Have a safe trip back to Japan Akiko.
I will see you in September, don't forget your ukulele.
