Song Help Request Jimmy Buffett- Volcano

HelloDisaster said:

So my mum is a huge parrothead(I was practically raised on Jimmy Buffett as well as the Beach Boys, but I'll tackle them in September for my Dad), and her birthday is coming up in May, so I was thinking about attempting to cover it on uke, and making a video of it for her, I dont know if it will work at all, but I am willing to give it a shot

never having done such a thing im kind of stuck, so any words of advise would be greatly appreciated!

Being involved in the JB world myself and as a musician I can help.
First, Volcano is a pretty straight forward song. Here's a link to a tab of Volcano: http://www.guitaretab.com/b/buffett-jimmy/2652.html

If youre not entirely familiar with uke chords, there are plenty of places to study charts and play this on th euke. Just make sure it sounds right to your ears.

Also, if you need some JB goodies, send me a pm and I can hook you up to make your mom's bday REALLY great! Chances are I might even know her.

Good luck. :shaka:
