I'm told it appeared on an album of Gram Parsons covers; "The Last Whippoorwill - the Gram Parsons Notebook"

I'm happy you made the effort. The views (and beer) are certainly worth it :)

I need some of those drugs you're on

Translation: Hi, my name is Jonathas, I'm from Brazil. I would like to ask for your help if I can, as I do not have a keyboard and I am unable to have one. I would like your help if you can donate me a keyboard

Oi Jonathas - desculpe, mas não posso fazer isso.

Muito obrigado

Hi Rikelme, no it sold 7 years ago! 😊

Thanks David. Do you know the name of the album from which it came?

A little search reveals more... from the GP tribute, "The Last Whipoorwill". m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3XEo6R-famSqas

@@Propertyshoot the last whippoorwill the gram parsons notebook

not a bad version

Cheers RL. :)

I like the new title!

@@mal.thursday1 :-D It seemed the easiest solution. I still like this performance and wonder who the artist is.

Thank you Roman 😊

Thank you Renato :-)

Oliver Tschernij yes it's part of what I was playing in the lead-up to those chords; from a tune by Lee Ritenour. I don't remember the name or album - sorry.

Thank you! Great playing btw :)

Oliver Tschernij thanks Oliver 😊

Thanks Guz. Once I got the bum notes ironed out, it was the intro to "Overkill" by Colin Hay of Aussie band "Men at Work".

Ah I see! Thx man! :)

Hi Luna. Probably not :-) just insufficient time. Part of the sound here is that my uke is a tenor and has the uppermost string (the 'my' in 'my dog has fleas') tuned an octave lower than usual. So it's the deepest of all the notes played. It's more like a guitar sound than a typical uke.

@@jonnyDmay What is the fingerpicking pattern you use? And does it remain the same through the whole song?

@@schnedds3284 Hi James - I 'picked' it out from a Happy Traum guitar book ... 40? years ago. Google 'Travis style picking' and there are plenty of lessons, but of course they are on 6-string guitars so had to adapt to 4 strings. The thumb keeps up a regular pattern alternating between open strings 2 and 1 (I'm calling the uppermost string '1'. (My uke is a tenor with a low G string so is the deepest note - it will sound too 'plinky' on a smaller uke). Practise a regular 2-1 2-1 2-1 2-1 using your thumb on those 2 strings. I'll come back with a fingering diagram.

@@schnedds3284 Oh and the pattern does change a little through the song. Some due to my inability to keep it regular! And I drew up chord diagrams and now realise I can't upload a jpg... will have to add to the video :p

@@jonnyDmay Thank you so much for the response! I really appreciate it, I've been looking around for tabs to Dear Prudence for a while but with no luck. It just so happens that my ukulele is set up with a low G so that shouldn't be a problem. I look forward to begin practicing, it's one of my favourites.

Thanks Kamakiri. And your name rings of Donald Fagen's album "Kamakiriad". Is there an English meaning?

Cheers Stewart. I'm up north of you in Mt Coolum. Good call on the 5D. Nord build quality is top notch and the sounds suit classic rock perfectly.

The intro to Joe Cocker's version of "A Little Help From My Friends".

+MrMuso1563 - just an improv over some Georgiaesque chords. Note the tentative hand-twitching at the start while brain-gears slowly engage 😃. But yes, Ray Charles is an influence. At 2:10 is the intro to Bloody Well Right by Supertramp. I currently have the SW4. The 5 came out just 6 months after purchase 😬. It looks to have some great improvements

ezrabiggun It's by U2 - "Under a Blood Red Sky" :)

+ezrabiggun oops! Justin is correct.😮

Sin sin sinner More so the 70's! :D My early influences were Deep Purple in Rock 1970, Led Zeppelin II 1969, Tom Petty's Breakdown 1976, Bloody Well Right 1974, Tin Soldier 1968 ... I had to look those years up. Amazing how much longer ago they came out than we remember.

Amazing playing by the way the last songs you played were all 80s and the supertramp was great

im getting the Electra 4d on monday

Sin sin sinner ah.. you are correct re those 80's tunes :)

Sin sin sinner Excellent! All the pianos - electric and acoustic - are much improved.

Hi Max - Any good headphones will be suitable. Use the same ones that you would choose to listen to music. It's nice to hear the stereo effect from the Leslie simulator in headphones.

Full disclosure... I've only learned the intro I'm like that annoying musician in-store who only knows bits of a lot of tunes. :D

Propertyshoot Photography & Video You have what both my son, a 24 yr old guitarist, and I suffer from---"music 'ADD" ..haahaa! ... When were listening to our vast Mp3 collections, we both start a cut, then skip past the 'duds' as were playing them for each other, to hear "The Better One" ...LOL

Thanks Matt. Low G string on this tenor uke.

It sold for a grand.
