Neal Paislay – Throw Me In The River (Tab)
Before you start playing this one, you’ll have to fiddle with your knobs. His uke is in open-F tuning: FCFA. So you need to tune your G string down two frets and your E string up a fret. It’s a tuning that’s a lot of fun to play around with. More restricting than standard tuning, but you will come up with ideas for it.
But the altered tuning does make it a little more difficult to figure out what’s going on. The song is a basic I – IV – V in F. The F chord is 0000 and 0578. The Bb chord is 0201. For the V chord he’s using C6 which is 2020.
If you’re planning on using this tuning, here are a few more chord shapes you could use:
Dm – 0200
F7 – 0343
F/D/B/Ab diminished – 0232
F aug – 0100
Fsus4 – 0001
G7 – 2202
Neal’s very eager to hear any covers of this song. So if you record one, let him know.
Neal writes the only instrumental ukulele stuff I care to listen to. I really like this song an awful lot. Maybe I’ll give it a try.
Wow, that shit is tight, yo. Massive respect for Neal.
Must practice more.
fantastic stuff, and i’m not going to download the tab, cos there’s no way in hell i could replicate it :)
There are not enough o’s in the word “smoooooth” to describe Neil’s performance. Yowsa!
Jodi: Thanks. I’ll take that as an insult!
Iain: Agreed on the tightness of said shit.
mictoboy: You should still try messing around with the tuning. It’s a lot of fun.
Bob: Yeah, he makes it look very easy.
