I will take a stab at this based on the concert vids I've seen. First off, it seems like he's playing standard (high G) tuning. I changed both my tenor and soprano ukes over to low G tuning to learn "Still Alive" (and low G just makes more sense for a guitarist like me) but it looks like I've gotta change it back. You can't just tune a low G to a high G without breaking strings, so I'll have to track down a suitable string. I may already have something that will work in my voluminous "string library" (those of you who have seen my little home studio in person know I'm not actually kidding...)

The song doesn't really have a lot of chords per se; it seems to be basically oriented around a blues scale in C with a pedal note picked as a drone on the open high G (starts as a G) and this changes so some chords are implied, but he's not really strumming much. I'll have to think on the best way to present this... is it really worth tabbing out all the little riffs?

First off, he's playing standard (high G) tuning. I changed both my tenor and soprano ukes over to low G tuning to learn "Still Alive" (and low G just makes more sense for a guitarist like me) but it looks like I've gotta change one back grumble grrr...

The song doesn't really have a lot of chords per se; it seems to be basically oriented around a blues scale in C with a pedal note picked as a drone on the open high G (starts as a G) and this changes so some chords are implied, but he's not really strumming much.
