Completely Useless Ukulele Tip # 11: Hamburg Beatles Ukulele Tour

This is the eleventh and final of my series of completely useless ukulele tips where we visit Hamburg for Hempel's Beatles-Tour (Ukulele). it was a great tour visiting the Beatles' former haunts before they became famous. I did the tour with German friends of mine. Wunderbar!
Stefanie Hempel's Beatles-Tour is the best ! Her site: www.hempels-mus...
Ukulele: Martin OX Bamboo

I'm gonna miss this series

[@PeteyHoudini]

Me too! I need to record some song videos of mine.

[@CG-ip1sr]

Just found my love for the uke and stumbled upon your videos. You are so pleasant to watch. 💓

[@PeteyHoudini]

Thanks. Keep strumming and rockin' the uke!

[@iamshake7778]

This is a beautiful and great experience Pete!😊😊😊🎙🔈✌🏻❤️

[@PeteyHoudini]

Thanks. It truly was. I want to go back!

[@karenzanes]

Love that rendition of Twist and Shout!

[@PeteyHoudini]

Very fun tour. They recently mentioned that tour in the LA Times.

[@karenzanes]

@@PeteyHoudini I want to do this tour! I've loved the Beatles since I was very young. I'm new to the ukulele (though a long time guitarist) and love your channel. I hope you post more.

[@davidmarkham4891]

Thanks for these fun videos ! Keep up the great work !

[@PeteyHoudini]

Danke!

[@fettacheese3001]

I miss u pete when will you upload more amazing videos

[@PeteyHoudini]

Thanks for the kind words! The winter has been long and rough in Canada and I need a second wind! I want to start playing excerpts from my fav. sheet music ukulele books. Stay tuned!

[@mmactc]

Wow great video! I am so jealous Hamburg is on my bucket list.

[@PeteyHoudini]

Thanks Mark. It's definitely worth doing.

I really enjoy your postings, Peter. Suggestions for videos: Compare your Martin 2k to your Martin T1K if you have not already. I watched the video where you comment on your Style 2 vs the 2k, but did not see a direct comparison to the T1K. I have the Martin Style 2, T1K, Kamaka HF3, Kanilea K1, and Koaloha KTM-00. All tenors. I have a Koaloha koa soprano, but it's my only non-tenor uke. I love my Martin Style 2. It has the brightest sound of all and the slimmer nut can make it easier to play. I like my T1K and think it is very under-rated when considering price to value. It's no 2K, but it is a wonderful instrument at the $400-$500 price range. If I were to rate my tenors I would use the following categories, (1) volume (brightness); (2) intonation throughout the fretboard - upper and lower register; (3) sound (Hawaiian); (4) sound (Rock), (5) sound (Country); (6) sound (Classical), (7) sound (Blues), and (8) Sound (Traditional, Folk, Bluegrass); (9) beauty (finish, design, construction); (10) playability - ease of fretting, overall physical experience in playing the uke. I normally use these ten metrices, but find that I often need to use them all for each song I play (instrumental or strumming). I may rate the Martin Style 2 as having the best sound for Classical music, but fully recognize I won’t have a uniform rating for each classical song I play. I hope you post a new video soon. Even if only to say hello, I’m doing well.

[@PeteyHoudini]

Let the T1K go.

I live next to Hamburg and didn't even know they have a Beatles tour. I'd love to see her play those songs on her Uke.

[@PeteyHoudini]

I found out about her tour at least a 3-4 years back. She goes a great job and it's perfectly done switching between German and English.

[@SaintOsburg]

A great finale to the series. I wil miss it. :)

[@PeteyHoudini]

Thanks!

[@jacobnussbaum2309]

I would love you to make a video of your favourite ukulele music books

[@PeteyHoudini]

That's my plan!!!

[@ignaciomariona8941]

We miss you Pete! Want more content! Hope you are doing well!!!

[@angieneed2604]

Ignacio Mariona Anyone know why he stopped uploading videos?

[@PeteyHoudini]

I'm alive. The Dark Side of the Force took me over for a year and a half but I'm back so expect more vids shortly.

[@GwenJuckts]

I live in Hamburg and HOW didn't I know about THAT?!

[@PeteyHoudini]

It's cool. Try it out!

[@GwenJuckts]

@@PeteyHoudini I already reserved some tickets for April, because during winter she takes a break. Gives me more time to learn beatles songs on my Ukulele as well. 😊

[@andivelorezwhite]

[@SparkieGoth]

You haven't posted for a little while. Hope you're okay. x

[@PeteyHoudini]

Thanks for your concern. I'm ok. I do have my "Edgar Allan Poe" dark times more than often, but I've just been busy in this X-mas month of parties, etc... I've actually been getting out and trying to be sociable. hehe I need to do more uke vids soon! I've got many planned!

[@SparkieGoth]

@@PeteyHoudini Good to hear. :) Merry Christmas - from a practising Jew! ;) Looking forward to seeing your next vids.

[@PeteyHoudini]

Thanks. These days, I'm just a freethinker and I go along with any holidays. Coincidentally, one my next vids will be "Hevenu Shalom". I have been invited to Shabbat dinner a number of times in the past in Montreal by my good friend Schmelvis. schmelvis.ca/
