Britney Spears/sweetafton23 – Toxic (Tab)
I’m quite ashamed to be mentioning Britney Spears for the second time on this blog, but the quality of this ukulele version of Toxic didn’t really leave me with much choice. She does a great job of cramming all the essential parts onto the uke.
The most challenging part of the song is the riff that kicks the song off. It starts off with a string of hammer-ons and pull-offs. The Fluke she uses is louder and has more sustain than many ukes. If you’re using a soprano you’ll have to work a little harder to get all the notes to sound clearly. The second bar of the riff she plays all on one string. If, like me, you’re so lazy you don’t like moving your hand unless it’s completely necessary, you could the second bar like this:

Fabulous job on the uke! And thx for alternate start up riff!!
Thanks, Alex. Glad you liked it.
Awesome.
Only me thinks it’s a guy singing & playing the uke?
I can tell you for certain-sure burton-sure she is a she.
hey I’m a little confused on how to read the tabs (I’m really new at playing the uke) How exactly does it work?
Hi Emma, there’s a tutorial on how to read uke tab here:

Hey hey People,

Mr. Brightside by the killers. Julia on youtube played it, and I can follow the video some but I really would like the tabs if someone could help me out!

I don’t think those chords are right
still sounds good though
Well, Molly links to it in the video description so it can’t be too far wrong.
WOW!!!made very well!!
This is amazing i am definately gonna set myself the challenge of learning it! sounds awesome!
Good luck with it, Amy.
That is beautiful!
Well done
What an inspiration!
YOU ARE AWESOME! :) xx
But where is the tabs for the whole song… all I see you have is that alternate second bar
Tronkel: Click where it says “Britney Spears/sweetafton23 – Toxic (Tab)” in big red letters.
If I may make a small suggestion… with both the Eb in the verse and the Eb7 in the chorus you can leave the G string open, thus only using three fingers. It makes the transitions much less fiddly and more manageable for us beginners!
Awesome arrangement – so much fun to play, thanks Woodshed!
SamD: I agree with you. But I wrote it the way she plays it.
