Can you explain the strumming/picking from 6:35 ? Is it strum, G-string, A-string, G-string ?

[Dominatoruke]

@TheHbr3kke Yes, that is basically it. No worries if you hit more than just the G or the A strings on the strokes following the strum. It will all work.

jake does not want to share the tabs for this?? wtf

[Dominatoruke]

I never finished those tabs anyway and they contained many errors since I did the tab earlier in my transcribing days. The videos, even though it requires effort on your part to sit and decifer them, is all you should need to nail this great tune.

Hey dominator, what kind of strings are you using to play this song??

[Dominatoruke]

Worth CH flourocarbon strings. They are clear hard tension. I like both the CM (Clear Medium tension) and the CH strings. The CH's are a little tighter/stiffer.

[MeganUnderwoodd]

Heey, Dominatoruke.

I'm looking into learning the uke for songs like these and easier ones. I was just wondering how hard it is to pick up the instrument. I play woodwind instruments, never tried strings, and the uke just sounds beautiful so i'm looking into getting one. My bf plays flamenco on guitar so hes gonna try and teach me, also what are good brand uke's ?

[henrybobhopkins]

Wat is the strum pattern fo this song???

[fpgoff]

Dude thank you so much. I love this song and this is an awesome tutorial. Thanks for taking the time of doing this. It helped me a lot.
