My take on the version taught by the Brilliant Ukulelezaza:

(see description for link to the tutorial)

Brilliant! I love Zazas version, and yours nails it! Well done. His and your version, AD, are one of the few that actually plucks the chimey part--the bom bom bom bom part--most seem to just mouth it.

Stupendous one-taker, too.!

Wow thanks very much!

I've been playing off and on for months so thought it was time to get it down.

(there *may* have been a handful of previous takes)

Sheesh, that was bloody amazing Gavin. So well done mate, bravo!

Very cool, I've watched it a couple of times now. I was going to say brilliant or amazing, but someone already said it (and they were right)

I'm just starting out myself, but definitely something I'd like to aspire to.

Obviously you have been playing a while, curious how you would rate the degree of difficulty/challenge?

Thanks Jon! I've been playing quite a bit but not recorded much for a while - about time I got back with the program. I see you've been busy refilling your youtube channel. That's my afternoon gone then!

Thanks Hendrik - did you check out the link Zaza's tutorial? It's more a close up of him playing it slowly than step by step instructions but he'll email you the tabs if you ask nicely.

It's *tricky* but there's lots of interesting stuff in there so well worth perservering with. Even if out of your range for now give it a go and revisit it every now and then and you might surprise yourself. My version has drifted a bit from his as is the way of things but the chords are still the same throughout.

Gavin that was very slik indeed. I learned Ukulelezazas version to and loved it, but like a lot on tunes I spent months learning only to forget them when I start something new, so thanks for bringing it back to my attention. Great job man!

I did and watched him a couple of times too. He has put the tabs up in the description so I have been tinkering with those for a little bit to feel it out. Definitely a stretch especially those bits up at the 6th & 7th fret. It's a great challenge though and I think I can get there with a little perseverance and be a better player for the effort. It's a great little arrangement that sounds so good on the uke. Thanks for sharing and great video! Cheers.

Edited.. In case your wondering concept tsesour were those two illegible words I had to type to submit the post. Usually takes 2 or 3 tries, still messed it up..

Thanks Eroll - and good luck Hendrik.
