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 !
” Worried Man Blues ” – Ukulele Blues On A RISA LP
here.
This is my instrumental rendition of the " Worried Man Blues ".
It has " Blues " in the title, but it's more famous for being a folk or country song.
Many famous performers like Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger or Johnny Cash sang this tune.
I played it on my RISA LP tenor.
The uke is tuned in dropped D ( D G B D' ).
If you want to learn some ukulele Blues licks in standard reentrant tuning, please have a look at my tutorial Easy Blues licks on the ukulele 4U.
All the sound in this video comes out of my ipad.
I used some drum loops from the app " Drum Loops HD " which I really can recomment.
The bass backing and the sound effects of the uke ( compressor, delay,reverb, ampsimulation ) werde made with garageband.
I used my Apogee Jam to connect the uke with the iPad.
I recorded the song with my ZoomQ3HD ( through line in ).
Hope you like it.
Feel free to leave a comment.
Cheers FriendlyFred
