Saboten No Hana (サボテ ンの花) Recording

My goodness, its been 10 days since I last updated anything here.
Time certainly flies, as I’ve been rather busy with work itself.

Anyway, for those of you who have checked out the Ichigo Ichie Live 2007 post earlier, there is this song entitled サボテ ンの花, which translates to ‘Saboten No Hana‘. I first came across this song in this particular YouTube video. It cause my attention and I started figuring out how to play it, by watching the video over and over again. The song is actually off a Japanese Dorama Under The Same Roof. The artist is named TULIP.

So here it is, my recording of the song. This time, I tried using back my normal mic used for MSN video call chats. Distance wise, I was about half a meter away from the mic. Mixed it with SONAR’s reverb, without any compression this time. The recording is much softer, but I kinda liked it.

I appreciate any feedback from anyone~

Amazing Ukulele Percussions

Hi everyone,

So far, when it comes to ukulele playing, James Hill has been absolutely amazing with getting different sounds out from an amplified ukulele. Check out his percussion-ukulele piece below:

PS: It does not sound ukulele at all, its either you like it, or you don’t!

As for Jake, less fancy, but amazing as well. Check out the mid interval of Me and Shirley T.

I so MUST get my ukulele amplified.

Transcribed Project: Wo Bu Pei

This time, my latest transcribed tab is another Jay Chou song, by the name of Wo Bu Pei (我不配). The song is in A#/Bb Major. I have left the ending outro of the tab with just chords. I personally would play around with some improvised strumming / picking.

Will try to get a nice recorded version out soon, so then everyone can have a look and we can further improve the tab together.

As usual, if you have problems with any part of the song, drop me a comment/email. You may download the tab and MIDI at the Tabs Section.

Enjoy the tab.

=)
