I've been breaking down Corey's version(s) for the last week in my spare time. Once you are able to do some of the sections, they repeat themselves so it's not TOO tough to learn. I learned them by watching different version of samples Corey plays and you can see his finger movements/placements on different parts of the song better in different versions. He plays them all slightly differently but you can take what you like from various versions to make your own. BTW, I'm not an advanced player and have a kid and full time job... So all I'm saying is with a little patience and some spare time, you can do it (that is learn the song... not play like Corey )

Here are a few versions if you haven't seen them. I usually learn a few sections and then practice for a couple days and come back and add some more and so on. Unfortunately, Vimeo doesnt have slo-mo like YouTube, which helps a lot...

Good luck!
 
For those of you still interested:

I put a simple instrumental tab of it for solo ukulele online (see signature)

Hope it is on any help.

Hey man that's some beautiful stuff. Looks like you are Bone Soup on YouTube? I will have to check you out when I get a change. Love the tab work!
 
This song is so amazingly cool and laidback. Love it.
 
Steelrider,

thanks, but I ain't. Meat Ball would be a more appropriate nickname for me.

Save the effort, you won't find me on YT.
I prefer listening to, not watching music. And I am much too lazy to record myself.

Best, Phrunk
