I Don’t Want To Talk About It by Rod Stewart

Last ukulele song for today, lots of fun to record these 4 songs at the same time.

My key takeaways are to work on my strumming technique- I think I’m using 2 or 3 fingers so it sounds a bit messy and I’m hitting the body of the uke quite a lot which I guess probably won’t happen if I just use my index finger. Also trying to find a good microphone position so that there is a nice balance between instrument and voice.

i loved the original version of Danny Whitten’s song by his band Crazy Horse for the gorgeous acoustic arrangement, but the vocals were pretty bland, Rod Stewarts version knocked it up a few notches and that has stuck with me over the years. He has always been one of my favoritei nterpretive singers. And your vocals are pretty great here as well, especially on the incredible chorus.

I also like the version by Everything But The Girl. You balanced the uke and your voice really well. Nice version!
