Mike de Velta

Australian Blues, Folk and Roots Artist

Fuller’s Hill Video

Fuller’s Hill is an original instrumental played on ukulele by Mike de Velta. The title is dedicated to Blind Boy Fuller who inspired me to use an alternating picking technique and apply it to the uke in an unconventional way.
I recorded it with an Sm57 through a Great River Preamp and a Daking FETII Compressor. Sound was processed with Pro tools.

All these words

I’ve probably spent a year on this track and it finally came together when I considered using a 12 string guitar to really tighten up the rhythm section. I think this one gelled pretty well. It was recorded in my home studio in a very small bedroom but using some pretty nice hardware.
Thanks to Dean Wuksta for his awesome drumming.
