Dominator Ukulele Tabs

I put together the video tutorial for The Staten Island Slide last evening. The tutorial is split into two separate videos. The first is an introduction into the tune that briefly discusses my approach to developing this particular TAB and explains a little about music directional symbols used in many of my transcriptions.

Since it was difficult, from watching Craig’s video performance, to determine the exact picking pattern he employed with his right hand I decided to come up with a pattern that worked for me. This should serve as a good foundation for you to build on if you wish to.

Craig played his Johnny Marvin ukulele tuned to Bb in his video. Since the majority of us are tuning our ukuleles to GCEA I used C tuning in the tutorial.

The second video is the actual tutorial itself. I tried to zoom in closer on my right and left hands but this still proved to be a difficult task by myself.

This is a fun little song and a good one to develop some basic finger picking skills with the right hand. Enjoy the tutorial and I hope it makes it easier for you to master the song. The tab can be downloaded from the TABs page.
