[MarlonOwnsYourCake]

I wasn't sure I'd like this, but it turns out I love it!

[zachmilford]

Hey dominator what does you dominate? just wondering :P

[Dominatoruke]

@zachmilford Life! It's all about living life to its fullest.

[strontor]

jake shimabukuro's...

[aguilamagnetica]

Awesome sound...

BEST WISHES FROM BUENOS AIRES...

[adriannamatysek]

bravo, i like it and discover you by your website. You save me lot of hours with your tabs thx again. I use to read score more than using my ears (toobad). what a pity than jake asked you to take away his version of my guitar sweep gently. anyway if you have the time do you mind to do a tutorial?

do you sell uke?

[jinfuuu]

love the uke,, what is it?

[Dominatoruke]

@jinfuuu It's a Dominator tenor. I made it about 2 years ago.

[pkav93]

@Dominatoruke you made it....?

[Paint]

So frickin awesome!!

[SuperGaryOak]

SO FREAKIN GOOD

[andrewissexeee29]

i can not find the chords in the website

[Dominatoruke]

The main page is the blog section. You must click the TABs link at the top of that page and then to find it quickly do a control F and start typing Thriller and it will pop you down to the files. It is that simple.

[kataklysm12345]

how do you do that strumming at 3:26, just can't make it sound right...

[AlyAndCate]

I love how how he puts soul into it by those head movements!

[TheFurySage]

nice harmonic s!

[orienontheair]

what, i cant hear it

[DubReggaeHamburg]

no, me to - but the playing is great!

[meshortiee10]

wow your great what are the chords for the corus?

[albrenza]

[DiggyZazz]

Jake Shimabukuro's interpretation, note for note.  Uncool not to mention that, dude.

[MARaGEx04]

[evanhickam]

You get a freak-nasty look on your face when you play haha I like it though. Awesome job!

[iwazneverok]

skill

[Wayfarer88]

rad

[lilmark816]

Idk why I cant even hear thriller....Im really trying but I dont hear it at all, maybe its just me..

[Dominatoruke]

You are not alone on this and I agree. I have trouble hearing it. The first time the lyric thriller comes in this version is at the 58 second mark. "Thrill" is on the harmonic at the 12th fret and "er" is on the fretted note at the10th fret of the A string.

[silafau18]

haha.i had a hard time hearing thriller in the beginning too.

[GIRLSECKS]

@Dominatoruke you guyts must not really know the song i sang along to the whole thing

[Twinkmonkey]

Damn....You can whip out harmonics like no tomorrow on your ukulele....thats awsome..

[heretotry]

this is jakes version is it not?

well played sir, well played

[ItsDaUkeGrl]

whoa this is tite! i could play billie jean but its not impressive as this one! keep up the good work man

[craigbrandau]

I don't know why this is the first time I've seen or heard this vide! Excellent Dom! The tenor sounds great too!

[Violuke]

Dominator you are great! really, i can see that you truly feel each chord as individual organism! thank you for the tabs! i will post my version soon! you and jake and aldrine are the greatest uke inspirations out there in my opinion! keep on tabbing and playing with your heart!

thank you once again

[jannyboi808]

R.I.P MJ

[randomrage5]

[ehhhFit]

[supergokou]

It's sweet how you throw in the "chime" where MJ would say "Thriller." I love this cover. Wish I could been there in Tahoe to see you play.

[NighttSwimmming]

RIP MJ

[Hboycey]

[thawhiteazn]

Wicked awesome dude

[mushmunch]

[tkdbandguy]

[TheKittyBandito]

[clumster123]

[Dominatoruke]

No. I learned it from Jake's arrangement he played at the KFOG radio station.

[pied007]

And I am learning it from you!!!! You have the coolest tabs and online resource... very very helpful :)) please keep up the good playing and teaching

a *fan*

[ChanimalCrackers]

I think that wrong note came around 52-53 seconds in to the video

[parsnip02]

hey dom. great cover of it. i couldn't spot the mistake. also have u got a new uke?

[Dominatoruke]

Yep, I completed building this tenor back in late September.

[nickjustiz]

that was nuts man, i couldnt help but smile the whole time i heard it. how long have you been playing?

[Dominatoruke]

I guess about 10 years or so.

[Dominatoruke]

Thanks so much to all of you.

Adelle, you are too sweet my dear. I usually get grief for making all those weird faces:)

[mctrmt]

Zombies and werewolves were never so mellow! Beauty.

[Mahalos7]

Geez, Nailed Dom! Looks like you were getting your groove on too! :o)

[clevacheva]

sounds great as always!

[UKISOCIETY]

Too sweet! That uke is awesome too.

And if you ever want a voice-over for the Vincent Price part, give me a shot! :)

[HeadoUke]

So, so, so good Dom! Wow!!

[UkuLeLesReggAe]

nicely done Dom

all these Mj covers all sounding good :D

[theBradlands]

Totally awesome.

But your eyes didn't turn red at the end!

[bublebuddy119]

first 0:54 last 1:45. n e ways way cool job! im getn the strumming down now as i type haha! love the tab to! hey any comments on the best way to get volume when doing harmonics on the 5th and 7th frets? i dont get alot of volume mostly like a muted pick.

[Dominatoruke]

Ha, close but no ceegar and nemonocomprendo beat you to it.

As for the harmonics. You just have to get your finger in the perfect spot and release immediately after plucking. If you notice I missed the one at the 7th fret and it just made a chunking sound. The actual harmonic didn't really sound.

[UkuleleApe]

yeah dom! U rock!that was great! think i will also post a rendition on thriller i love this song!

keep it rockin

UkuleleApe

[emiles1020]

that was awesome

[gortie]

Out of sight!

[hoosierhiver]

Wow,so great!

[irvingjohn]

You are insane. INSANE. In the best way.

[deach69]

You never fail to impress. Just too cool and full of Dominator passion.

[keonepax]

Fantabulous!

[iggy524]

that was pretty cool, haha.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Great performance Dom. And a beautiful arrangement. That uke just sounds better and better.

KEN

[yp983]

Nice Dom. 0:52 and 1:48? Dominator doesn't play wrong notes... he improvises.

[nemonocomprendo]

0:52 and 1:48

I could be wrong (fighting an ear infection lol) But I love your stylization and definitely want to say THANKS for all the great posts on youtube and your website!

[yp983]

damn...guess I took too long typing on my on-screen keyboard...haha

[Dominatoruke]

BINGO! We have a winner:). Yep, my pinky got all crazy and indpenendent and hit a C# instead of C. $#/T happens :).

[nemonocomprendo]

I know how that is. My pinkies used to rebel after about 2 hours sitting at the piano. That's just dedication to your art :D

[boss79]

Great job as always!

[russbuss415]

that was just fantastic!

[tintindiego]

SOLID DOM

[okvolleyball]

nice job

[Dominatoruke]

Thans everyone. This one is actually pretty fun to play.

[SeaMine1]

Great job, what kind of uke is that?

[Dominatoruke]

Thanks. It's a Dominator uke. I completed it in late September of 2008. I'm really happy with it.

[SeaMine1]

Oh wow, do you take custom orders?

[Dominatoruke]

Currently, I have a few builds in the hopper and so I'm not making any additional commitments at this time.

[SeaMine1]

Alright, but how much would an average tenor cost? Maybe when your able to take orders Ill try and save some money and get one;

[Dominatoruke]

Email me from my website at Dominator Ukulele Tabs (Not through Youtube) and I will give you some info.

[SeaMine1]

I sent you an E-mail

[nemoAUS]

wow that was awesome! excellent performance again dom

[jayleeds2006]

Ha! I wasn't sure how you were going to do that on ukulele, but you actually pulled it off! That was great!!

[gx9901doublex]

Very cool Dom! Thanks for the help on the chords to this one too.

[Dominatoruke]

Thanks George. Glad to help.

[seeso]

gah.  so awesome.

[winecoffin12]

your the best uke player on youtube

[Dominatoruke]

Haha, thanks. I really do appreciate your vote of support but let's keep it real bruddah.  There are loads of ukulele players on YT with more talent than me. Aldrine Guerrero comes to mind. Thanks again.

[jtdreisb]

awesome job dom
