My first uke composition, enhanced with cello, string ensemble, trumpet and flute via the ThumbJam App. All recorded on the MBR. Just a simple little strum-along.

The song is about Henry VIII's Mary Rose ship that sank in Portsmouth harbour. Tele Savalas reminded me about it recently, lol.

I've fallen in love with the uke! And it looks like I'm not the only one on here. I blame henwrench, lol  :D

I have the 'Les Paul' type of Mahalo...

Great song, the quality of those sounds from your iphone is quite amazing! There better than most synth sounds and your arrangement here is really impressive. When you use your phone how do you connect to your MBR?
Your Uke looks and sounds awesome, mines just plain and cheap...I'm coveting again!
Great job Greeny, glad your back!

Just a jack-to-jack lead from the headphone socket of the iPhone into the Line-in on the MBR. Simple!

The tricky thing with Thumbjam is that you need to choose the key the instruments are in (before you can get a tuneful accompaniament). I just do it by instinct / ear, but I'm sure there are people who understand this kind of thing a lot better.

Finally - I can put down the orchestral scores that have been in my head since I was a kid!

I saw Tharek using it when we all met last Summer. I've been hankering after it ever since. It's taken this long to end my current phone contract and get the requisite upgrade!

I'm quite pleased at having Streetfighter II on my phone too... lol
