Skrillex – Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites (Tab)
Dubstep is the point where I finally left my youthful musical hipness behind and set up residence in old man, “this isn’t music, it’s just noise,” territory. But even I can appreciate Skrillex wubbing it up and jumping around the octaves without any regard for how people are going to cover the song on ukulele.
As a result, this arrangement is a bit all over the place. It starts out with some campanella fingerpicking with thumb on the g-string and one finger each from there. But it’s not long before I’m just using any finger I can to get the job done. In the Kramer-scaring section* I switch to strumming but I’m really using my finger more like a pick. There’s also some palm muting thrown in.
Trying to be hip myself I listened to the original song but then decided to (dub)step into the old man residence, too. But does it sound great on the uke (not that I can play it, but …). Three buts, oh well …
