How Sweet It Is - Swing Ukulele - Gerald Ross

The classic hits coming out of 1960’s Detroit and Motown Records fall easily under the fingers. Marvin Gaye’s 1964 hit ‘How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By you) has always been a favorite of mine. Here’s my solo uke arrangement.
Recorded: April 5, 2022 UkeTone Records Studio B
Uke: Lyric Tenor by Pat Megowan Stringed Instruments

You have found a great niche. I’ve never heard Motown on uke before. Great job. I love the way you play.

[@gbross]

Thanks. Motion tunes are very melodic. I like melodies.

[@artlevinesukulelepage9222]

Fantastic. That is one great instrument you're playing - just the clarity, the warmth of the tone, the balance - really something else. Do you make these arrangements of yours available in pdf format, in notation, or do you not approach the whole arranging thing that way? I suspect that you mostly work things out on the instrument itself, and so there's no close tie-in with any notation. Inspiring, as always.

[@gbross]

Thanks Art. I don’t write out my arrangements. I approach everything from a chordal perspective. Plus my reading skills are sub-par.

great adaptation... lovely playing!

Thanks Koala!
