Hi, I'm FriendlyFred and running this blog. I play 'em all from soprano to baritone, acoustic and electric. Yes, big hands can handle small instruments. Enjoy strumming around and have a good day !

Uke Boogie – Episode H

Again I entered the open stage of uke boogie Berlin at the Bar Ma Thilda.

First I played the traditional ” La Paloma ” on my Ortega baritone, then I started a group improvisation. I used a Hip Hop beat from my iPad app “ Drum Loops HD ” created by the drum wizard Hans Eijkenaar.

I played in D minor and asked the folks to join in. And they did. About ten people played ukulele or percussion with me. That was fun.

0:00 – 2:20: La Paloma

2:43 – 8:42: Group improvisation in D minor
