OK Go – Needing/Getting (Chords/Tab)

OK Go – Needing/Getting (Chords)

I’ve had quite a few requests for the ukulele bit in this OK Go video. So I went ahead and did that and the chords to go along with the slappy-tubes and dildo-piano (dildano?). The chords are actually based on the studio version but works perfectly well with this version (and we’re spared the extended outro).

Suggested Strumming

You can use this strum all the way through.

d – d u d -

Twice for each chord. Except for the long D chords in the intro riff.

Twiddly Bit

Here’s the intro ukulele bit:

All down strums for this bit.

    Awesome! I only wish I hadn’t wasted time trying to work this out myself.
    Thanks!

    Tjvonp: Time spent working things out for yourself is never wasted.

    I wish I could get an MP3 of the car version. I like his singing better in that than the studio version.

    Sara: I think they had it on their Facebook at one point. If it’s not still there I’m sure it’ll be on the internet somewhere.

    Touché, Woodshed.

    I came for the chords, but what I got was an important life lesson.

    I got the tab down fairly easily, and it sounds really good! Thanks!

    Pinkie Pie: My pleasure!

    Maybe I’m being a dunce, and I admit I’m new at tabs, but I have a question. With the intro, frets are specified for the C, E, and A strings, but not the G string. At first I’d think it’s a 3-string pluck kind of thing, but then you say strum down. So am I supposed to just start the strum on the C string and try not to touch the G string?

  15. Woodshed April 9th, 2012 10:59 am

    Vermont Cathy: Yeah, I play it by strumming just those strings. And also by bringing my thumb around the neck to mute the g-string.

  16. todd June 1st, 2012 4:44 pm

    SO the strumming goes like this?
    1-2-3-4-5-6
    D- -D-U-D-

  17. Woodshed June 2nd, 2012 8:06 am

    todd: Yes.

Got something to say?
