Heart of Gold (Neil Young cover), Austin Ukulele Society

At our August 11, 2022 meeting we were excited to do a song by Neil Young: "Heart of Gold." Released 50 years ago this year, it was a #1 hit in the U.S. A beautiful folk/rock ballad that has stood the test of time, it's been covered by numerous artists for years. A big cheer for all the energized folks who came out to play and sing!!

[@UkuleleHungary]

What a lovely cover. Congrats! :)

[@lindac1176]

Love the song, love what you all have done with it! This kind of magic does not happen with just one person but it clearly takes a community. Well done! Congrats everyone!

[@AustinUkuleleSociety]

Thank you Linda! Everyone was very energized that night and it was wonderful!

[@FRIARBOP]

Excellent syncopation on the F chords and rhythm.

[@AustinUkuleleSociety]

Thanks Robert, those strums are a little challenging but the group did just great!

[@jayclement17]

Sounds and looks great, Bob. Excellent work on wrangling all the video into shape. :-)

[@AustinUkuleleSociety]

Thanks Jay!!

[@cotter9751]

Delightful! A beautiful song. But I'm also learning to look for things in videos - strum patterns, that people do different things (Not everyone is playing the same), differences in instruments. A wonderful blend!

[@AustinUkuleleSociety]

Thanks so much! There are different parts that people can play in each song -- some simple, others more challenging -- so that everyone can choose a part that matches their skill level, from beginner to more experienced. Thanks for noticing!

[@MonksonMotorbikes]

is that bass ukulele? or baritone

[@AustinUkuleleSociety]

Hi, it's a small acoustic bass guitar. Just a bit bigger than a U-Bass.
