Nice work, Nick. Great song and performance.

As Kenny said, it's good to see Songcrafters 'beyond the avatar' doing what they do.

I have the same uke as you - you're 10x better on it though!

Thanks Tim but I find that very hard to believe!

Kudos to you Nick - for both the LiTLR aspect of this (it's not easy to sing along with all the fancy fretwork) and actually getting the song going on the ukulele. Is the uke in an open tuning?

Two changes from standard tuning; string 1 tuned down two steps to F, making F-C-E-A, open Fmaj7. Then all strings tuned up a semitone making open F#maj7, I guess.

I had a real penny-dropping moment when I was doing Gallows Pole a couple of months back. I realised the (standard) uke tuning is the same as the top four strings of the guitar (D-G-B-E), but if there was a capo at fret five and with the D swapped for one an octave higher. After that it was much easier to visualise chord shapes.
