Mouse Droppings

This one was done as a bit of a gag and learned in about an hour. I bought a cheap Stupid Deal uke last week to mostly entertain my new grandson. For some reason I thought of this song which to my knowledge is actually played on a guitar. I did end up adding another guitar with a very period inappropriate chorus tone. The new fingerings on the uke was a bit of a brain twister.

A uke is a real rewiring job!
 
I've told this story here before.... but here it is again. My youngest plays guitar and bass. Taught himself. Way better than I'll ever be. He has a couple Ukes. In the past he's played "Thunderstruck" on my guitars, so one day I challenged him to do it on the Uke. What with the odd tuning on a Uke compared to a guitar, took him a minute of two to transpose the guitar strings/notes to the Uke. Then the dang kid proceeded to play "Thunderstruck" on the Uke. Darn showoff. :rolleyes:

He did the same thing to me in Chicago Music Exchange that involved a 12 string. But that's a story for another day.

That's a talented kid. I know how to spell most chords and I probably could figure out the chords via that but damn it would take me a long time. I'm still not sure of the tuning yet. I know the first is a little "g". :ROFLMAO:
 
Fun!! But I did at first think the knees of rock had returned, only to find you have a full blown case of Uke knee ;):ROFLMAO:

Gets better. Both our sons are left handed. Youngest plays guitar righty rather than lefty. For a short time our eldest was learning guitar, but as a lefty. So one day my youngest picked up his guitar. Assumed the lefty position to play…. And within a few minutes was fretting with his right hand like he’d been doing it forever. Called him a show off.

Some folks have the gift. Others work their asses of to achieve mediocrity. I’m not the former.
 
It’s been a minute since I’ve stopped by so I hope all are doing well.

I finally scratched this one off my bucket list. This is right at the edge of my abilities so listen with a healthy chunk of salt. Off to find something easier to play next lol.
