White Boy Reggae by The Bumpin' Uglies *Tuning 1/2 Step Down* Okay, I did my best. This song is really fun to play at parties. I couldn't find any tabs for the solo parts and Brandon was kind enough to send me a video of him playing it (thanks dude) so if that would help you out just shoot me an e mail [email protected] and I'll send ya the vid. As for the strumming, tablature is kind of impractical in that regard, just watch the sugarshack sessions version and try to copy it, as it would be waaay easier to just copy that than it would be to tab it out.
