Buc McMaster Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Blind Buc came to town, broke out his blues machine uke and jumped on an old Robert Johnson tune............. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_dK6-uU-co&list=UU3tT5jzCvMj17IIpw3oVL9w&feature=c4-overview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullmental Alpinist Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Well, Buc, stand on my head and call me shorty. You can play blues on a ukulele! Well I'll be. I never would have thunk it. My hat is off to you sir. (And by the way, you are developing quite a nice playlist on YouTube!) I can see it now: Blind Buc McMaster, King of the Blues Uke!

MorrisrownSal Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I am speechless in the best possible way. Floored. By the way are you wearing a do-rag?... You east or west coast? Smokin and I am still in awe of what you do with a tiny wooden box. Awesome. Edited. 5 family members had me go down through your YouTube tunes... If you were in my house now you would get old broad bras tossed at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buc McMaster Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 Oh my god, Sal! Thanks for the love, people! The uke ain't really a blues instrument but one can improvise. Little Gibson is pretty loud out front, huh.........doesn't seem so when I'm behind it. Tried the Collings for this one but the soprano voice just cuts better. Thanks for listening!!

MorrisrownSal Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Buc... I have a request. Something probably different for you, but the tune is melodic, and the voice you would nail. Brian Setzer (Stray Cats) - Stray Cat Strut. That has to be a great uke tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParlourMan Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Venus in furs - The Velvet Underground. You know you want it, Bucaroo! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buc McMaster Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Stray Cat Strut? On a uke?!? Really??!?! Might be doable after a fashion but Mr Setzer laid down some might tasty licks in that one that are way beyond what can be done on a ukulele. And what a sound he wrings out of that Gretsch! Love those guitars! Would have to be a stripped down version for sure..................I'll give it a go and see what happens.............. Venus In Furs? On a uke?!? Really??!?! Gotta pass on this one entirely, PM. Won't even try this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
