Here's an attempt at Jake Shimabukuro's Five Dollars Unleaded. I learned it mostly from watching paw123los cover and a couple of videos of Jake playing it on Youtube. I think I have reached my limit as a ukulele player as I don't think I've improved much in the last several months. Man I wish I can be as good as thejumpingflea! LOL!:drool:

Anyway, here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EJH0kbF8SY

That was awesome! Thanks for the compliment, but man I wish I knew all the songs you are playing... you have such the repertoire! This is a great cover. Keep up all the awesomeness.
 
Awesome playing. Great job !

Five dollars unleaded is one of my favorite pieces to play .. I'm sure it will be yours to :).

Thanks for linking to my cover here and on your blog.
 
Awesome George! You're going to need a cutaway soon. I'm always amazed at how far you can stretch your fingers out.
 
you're the man, gx! loved it.
 
Props to you George for soing such a fine job of figuring this out on your own and then executing it very well.

I've had a number of requests for this song but I never really cared much for it because it reminded me of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" or something (not that there is anything wrong with Ring of Fire). However, you got me listening to it again and I am about 50 percent complete with the tab at this point. Hope to complete it soon.
Thanks for the motiviation to get it done.
