Rocky Votolato - Mix Tapes Cellmate Ukulele

Cellmates/ Mixtapes
By Rocky Votolato


Tuning: Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb
   half step down/flat

When playing this you should finger pick it to get the softer sound plus
it's much easier to be using two fingers intstead of one pick.
Use the bar chords instead of the normal chords it's much easier because 
You can pluck the 3 strings that you are manipulating with your frethand. 
Just roll down from the top chord, the middle chord, then the bottom. keeping
that rolling motion the whole song.
