As I told you already, you did a great job of this song easybeat, well done, you nailed it all by yourself smile Definitely a jazzy sound.

Yep I offered to do one of your jazz songs for you but just to clarify,  you will need to write the lyrics out and send me the chords and even better if it you send a recording of you playing just the guitar so I can sing to it.   So you won`t be able to do a one off this time smile  you will need to actually write the chords and lyrics down (now from what you told me already, that will be a challenge in a half lol )  wink big_smile  lol

And no worries, I find it a challenge and half even writing a song full stop!!!

Thanks so much TIG and Bill that is very helpful.  However I see am trying to find someone who is teaching it online visually (I learn best visually).  I want to see which strings they re picking.

Thanks for looking for me TF I appreciate that.  At this stage looks like I will have to just play it without the nice fancy bits.

Has anyone come across this song online where it is taught?  I can find chords and the odd tab but I can`t seem to see anyone online teaching it.  There are you tubers out there covering it themselves but not teaching which is what I am after as I want to learn the tabbing they seem to be doing on the intro and throughout.

I have only ever had the privilege to perform publicly in the last 3-4 years in a small group of ladies who all play ukulele and we perform once a month in rest homes.   We also do a little bit of busking in the summertime when the cruise ships come in, to raise money to buy  ukulele`s for children.  It is nice to play for the elderly and we enjoy it.
I have only ever once performed  at a gig (with the same group but back then we had a much bigger group with a couple of guys in it) and we performed at a 50th birthday gig and it was such fun, loved it.  We did all the old songs that everyone knows the words to and it was a blast.  We had them all up dancing.   I wish I had discovered the fun of singing in groups or bands when I was younger. 

TF I wouldn't let some ignorant jerk put you off performing ........... you have a gift, use it, for yourself and for others smile

(Edited to add a bracket in  and to add "at a gig" - Jandle)

mojo, congrats on being the first off the bat for this month.  Feedback on soundcloud given and as I said on there, this song is such an oldie but a goodie, a great sing along song and you covered it well smile

Nice one easybeat.  I left a comment on Soundcloud.  Very different to your other stuff, a mixture of Latin and Jazz.  I like it, well done to you smile

Ok just managed to get a song in for this month today.  Still learning Guitar as you all know, tried a little bit of finger picking (not the greatest yet but still learning but hey, i gave it a go! smile   ) Have to say, trying to play and do finger picking at the same time as singing,  kinda slowed me up vocally as i was trying to concentrate to make sure I got the picking in (which i messed up a little bit).  oh well, practice practice practice they say ......
