Matt Kresling – Year of the Dog (Tab)

 

Matt Kresling – Year of the Dog (Tab)

The travelogue of Matt Kresling and his ukulele’s circuitous trip to Madagascar is my favourite series on YouTube. Whenever a new episode crops up it’s a little treat. And there was a new one this week so it seems like the perfect time to put up my take on the show’s theme tune Year of the Dog.

The picking is all thumb and two finger style. I think Matt uses D-tuning for his version. But I’ve just gone with C-tuning.

If you’re looking for a travel doc to watch over the holidays I highly recommend it. Here’s the series trailer:

    Indebted to you for teaching me so many things!!! Learning of Matt kresling being one today. I just listened to “a beast that swallows its young” on YouTube. What a tune! Maybe at some point you could tab that out. Really enjoyed the melody.

    Thanks for all the cool stuff you post. Cheers and merry Christmas!
