Staten Island Slide....revisited - ukulele instrumental

This wonderful little piece of music was composed by Craig Robertson, it's also known as "Best Ukulele Song..."
Listen to his version

It's a song that stirred up quite some interest if you check out the "related video's"

I personalised the song and made some changes : I added two sections, changed the end tag and raised the tempo a bit.

Since I live too far away from the beach...I had to settle with a recording in the veranda, but with some beach attires...

You can find tab for Craig's version at Dominator's site

[BoyBeamish]

Too fast.

[daddystovepipe]

You're entitled to your opinion of course but I raised the tempo on purpose; the sections I added sound better this way.

[kdkmo]

Delightful. What is the tuning of your instrument? Is it the old "My dog has fleas" tuning that I learned as a child?

[daddystovepipe]

Thanks, and indeed, dog has fleas.

[jhgarl35]

[Arunsawat]

beautifull version

[Hatredismypride]

Wow carl i didn't know that you are rich LOL

[KlyWest]

far to rushed more like, the timeing is all over the shop at the start, still good though.

[AraguaJam]

as always is amazing seeing u playing! dont ever stop posting videos, and keep on the nice creativity u have to make ur videos

[MeanLittlePoodles]

The added sections sound fine at that tempo, but the original sections sound jumbled compared to the original tempo.

[LStrachey]

impressive picking!

[diez]

I 've tried to play this piece but I have difficulties to get the bounce. I don't know but I'm sure I will be more comfortable with the way you play it.

Anyway it's a beautifull contribution to a mlovely song!
