Mad World on ukulele

Next in the cavalcade of Evan Wearing Stupid Hats is my ukulele cover of Gary Jules' Mad World. originally created by Tears for Fears, Gary Jules drastically changed the feel of this song with his version. And so I donned my most Donnie Darko-esque beanie and played this cover. I hope you enjoy it!






Fender Ukulele mini-review

I got to try one of the Fender brand ukuleles the other day. They had the solid koa one up at Zoo Music, a local music store in Garland. I asked the guy working there if I could try it and he was more than helpful in getting it down and tuned for me. Overall, it's okay. A lot of people have complained about the thickness of the neck, which I agree can put the player a bit out of touch with playing at first, though this is easily adjusted to. It was insanely hot and humid that day (I live in Texas, after all) but the string's were surprisingly reliant, so I know the tuners were great. intonation wise, I'd say its about as good as my Oscar Schmidt OU6, which is perfect until about the 7th fret. all in all, if it was about 50 bucks cheaper, I'd jump on board, but Kala and Lanikai still do much better. Anyone has a different opinion please let me know.


Greensleeves on Ukulele

This video is an instrumental strumming version of Greensleeves, the old Renaissance tune. this was my first ukulele video ever, played on my very first ukulele, Oscar.



as with many of my covers, I hope to have tabs made and put up soon. until then, Enjoy!

Hallelujah on Ukulele

For my first video I'm posting my cover of Hallelujah on tenor ukulele. It's not fantastic but I hope you enjoy it! 


My First Post

This is going to be the place where (hopefully) I'll post most of my videos, plus different things about my views on things. Hope you all enjoy!
