Five Dollars Unleaded (Ukulele cover)

This is Jake Shimabukuro's "Five Dollars Unleaded" from his "Live" album. I was able to learn this from watching various videos of Jake playing this as well as a couple of people playing covers of this song. It's a cool little song that wasn't too hard to learn. But it did take me a while to be able to play it fairly cleanly. It also has a note that goes all the way up to the 18th fret, which is probably the highest fret I've ever played on the ukulele.

This was played on my William King ebony/spruce long scale concert.

@ThePyeminister Hi. I do not have the tabs to this. I figured it out from watching others play it on Youtube.

[ThePyeminister]

@gx9901doublex Ok cool what are the chords for the opening sequence? i can work out the strumming from that.. is that a concert ur playing there?

[gx9901doublex]

@ThePyeminister The first chord is 0033, where you pick various notes out of that chord. Then it is basically the following on the E-string: 12, 13, 10, 12, 18, 7, 8, 5, 1, 1-3 (hammer on). Give it a shot.
