I had the original (recorded) version played at my son's funeral. Your version is beautifully done. It would have been an honor to have played it instead. I cried and it hurt, but thank you for helping remember my little boy. Blessed be.
This is the most touching comment I've ever imagined receiving. I'm so sorry for your loss, touched by your kind words, and am humbled by your sharing. I'm at a loss for what else to say other than you'll be often in my thoughts. If only there was a way to hug through the internet. Please, take care.
This is an incredible cover of this song. It captures its essence, the innocence, the sadness, yet it highlights the warmth. it also adds its own quaint twist with the simple instruments. This is a real homage to essence ofThe Cure
There are no words to praise you. Definitely one of the most penetrating musical performances ever. I've heard it a thousand times and the emotion is always very intense and cloudy. Thanks for sharing.
This is one of my favorite covers on the internet. I love how it sounds like you are picking the notes even while you are strumming. Was thinking about playing this on a looper pedal and then picking it, but your version gives me hope. ❤️❤️❤️
ah ! I'm a subscriber, can't believe I missed this for 6 months. I love you're videos/music selection/style and this is a top song from a top favorite band everrrr. be my friend dudee, I was thinking of covering pictures of Elise on my page, I love doing uke covers tooooo.
Thanks man. I was just talking to my girlfriend yesterday about how much I wanted to do a Dead Milkmen song on uke and BOOM, you drop one. How weird is that? Love it, dude! I'd totally take you for a ride in my bitchin' Camaro.
I didn't really write much down other than the basic chords. I also dropped my A string down to a down to a G for this one so you have an open C-chord. I've uploaded a pdf I made for you and hope it helps. Find it here: www.dropbox.com/s/4j63u2iwbt243ui/Pictures%20Of%20You%20%28The%20Cure%29%20Open%20C.pdf?dl=0
I want to thank you because I have learned to play the ukulele by watching your videos during this quarantine. I am from Italy and I've been following you for a long time because the songs you love are the same that I love too. But "Pictures of you" is very difficult, I ask you to tell me what tuning you use. I love both of you and the little dog too and your ukes... Thanks for sharing your world, it is simply and sophisticated and full of emotions I've forgot for too long.
Thanks so much for the kind words. I hope you're safe and well with how tough it's been in Italy right now. I saw your comment on the tutorial and yes, it is A changed to G. Let me know if I can help with anything else.
@@BrokenUkulele You welcome! Yes, I'm safe and well, thanks. Quarantine is my normal behavior, so no harm to me. Luckily I have music and literature, they have always saved me from my shipwrecks... :) I'll try your tuning, your arrangement is the best I've ever heard. Which country do you come from? And there, how it's going? Excuse me for my bad English... Bye, a virtual hug...
Glad you enjoyed it. This is what i wrote out to use for chords: www.dropbox.com/s/4j63u2iwbt243ui/Pictures%20Of%20You%20%28The%20Cure%29%20Open%20C.pdf?dl=0 . I just tuned my A string to a G to have an open C chord.
Thanks for this lovely version. I know you have the uke version as a tutorial, but do you have the simple bass tabs too? I'm learning ubass and would love to add this to my lesson plan.
My husband plays ubass poorly, and I play ukulele like a broken robot. But we need to play this at a wedding, could you please give us the TAB or the chords? Much love and appreciation~ You inspire us.
Lol. I'd love to help if I can. It's been quite some time since I've played this, but I loved working on the arrangement. It's a little weird and I might be better off making a video explaining things if I get the chance, but here's the gist of it. Here is a pdf I made of the chords I play: www.dropbox.com/s/4j63u2iwbt243ui/Pictures%20Of%20You%20%28The%20Cure%29%20Open%20C.pdf?dl=0 The big difference here is that you are taking your A string and detuning it to a G so that when you strum open it makes a C chord. When you play all of your chords outside of your little melody riff, you are always playing that detuned string open. Also, the bass is fairly easy with predominantly the single note of each chord getting played. Hopefully that bit will set you in the right direction for a start. Is the wedding soon? :)
The wedding is on April 3rd. I know it seems far away...but I just got my first uke for Christmas and I strumming my heart out these days. Thank you very much for your gracious chord PDF, it is already guiding my way. As a final touch my I ask what strumming pattern do you recommend with this song? Thanks for your groovy guidance!
Very sorry for the late reply. If you didn't find the link in another comment already, here you go: www.dropbox.com/s/4j63u2iwbt243ui/Pictures%20Of%20You%20%28The%20Cure%29%20Open%20C.pdf?dl=0 When I'm playing it here, I change my bottom string from an A to G so you are strumming an open C chord. Hope that helps!
Sorry if it was disappointing. I'm quite an amateur and it was tricky for me to come up with an arrangement with the limitations of the ukulele. I'll keep trying. Thanks for the feedback and links. :)
Sorry for the slow reply. I tune my A string down to a G so the ukulele plays an open C chord when strummed. Here are the chords I used: www.dropbox.com/s/4j63u2iwbt243ui/Pictures%20Of%20You%20%28The%20Cure%29%20Open%20C.pdf?dl=0

Wonderfully done, retains all the emotion of the original and adds a warmth I didn't realize was missing. Thank you for sharing.

This is beautiful! How do you play the melody parts?
Sorry for taking so long to reply. If you're still interested, I made a little tutorial of sorts here: ruclips.net/video/uYi2MZBfJ4s/видео.html

You're very welcome! Glad you came back! :)
I always wondered why this song had few covers, and the 2 that I have found are not similar really.... *:(*

*NOT* correct either, but still nice!!
Actually tried to play the song right....

Please cover crappy ukulele songs, don’t fuck with good music
Please keep your shitty opinions to yourself, this is great 😃
