A-Ha reaches North Korea:

Impellitteri - Since You Been Gone

 

[sonnetpete]

Who said music has to be meaningful, earnest and serious? Not this lot. Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain - 'Shaft'. Gets my foot tapping and puts a smile on my face every time :

 

[PaulR]

The Ukes are absolutely brilliant. Yes, Shaft is one of my favourites as well. If you ever get the chance to see them live buy a ticket - you won't be disappointed.

Couldn't get to grips with guitar chords, but would be fun to try the Uke.

 

[PaulR]

The UOGB are colloquially known as "The Ukes". This is what I actually meant - sorry.

But still, only four strings so less to go wrong!

 

[sonnetpete]

Couldn't get to grips with guitar chords, but would be fun to try the Uke.

I have had a go at one but because the tuning is different, chord shapes are not the same as on a guitar. It also helps if you have skinny narrow fingers. Not as easy as you might think despite having two less strings.

A-Ha reaches North Korea:

Absolutely superb - and there is some info about this viral hit here:

The Glorious Leader will be most impressed with the positive publicity

 

[sonnetpete]

Yes, I read the article this morning (I originally found the video on a US guitar forum I post on). However, I find it difficult to take seriously a Norwegian who plays a heart shaped guitar......

 

[sonnetpete]

Just seen these two on Deluxe Music. This is a cracking version of 'Smell Likes Teen Spirit'.

 

[PaulR]

Can I make that a brace of Teen Spirits?

EDIT - link fixed - A/S

 

[sonnetpete]

LOL so good they played it twice??

 

[PaulR]

I'm going to see these guys next month. When I saw the description - Heavy Metal meets the Bee Gees - I couldn't resist. And only £7.50 per ticket...



Follow the linky...

Also fixed the link - A/S

A strange version of Bohemian Rhapsody :

[video=youtube_share;sAWl5peI8HY]http://youtu.be/sAWl5peI8HY[/video]

I saw these guys live about 18 months ago they do their own versions of every thing from the beatles to ac dc, it was very strange in a good way! i think it was because they did'nt have drums and your expecting to hear them on most of the covers. I would go and see them again.
