Star Wars - Cantina Band

Cantina Band (Star Wars) (Tab)
I’m not sure if Andy was joking when he requested this one. Tabs are far too serious an issue to joke about. The first part of Cantina Band works quite well on the uke. Bars 7 and 8 are particularly uke-y.
As for the picking, for the most part I use my thumb on the G and C strings and index finger (picking upwards) on the E and A strings. Bars 9 to 14 are all strummed. I’m blocking the G string with the thumb of my picking hand in this part. It isn’t strictly necessary as the G works in there as well. What is necessary is blocking the E string for the last two notes of bar 10 (and bar 14). I do it by resting the tip of my index finger on the string.
Perhaps next Sunday will be a theme tune that wasn’t written by John Williams.
If this is your first visit here, you can find the chords/tab in those posts by clicking on the song title in red.

Oh, man…sometimes you simply astound me. That sounds amazing!
Wow that’s an awesome choice. Not sure if i would have ever thought of that tune for uke but it sounds very cool!
Awesome awesome awesome. OMG awesome.

I knew this would be quality, and you havent disappointed
cbf: I didn’t even notice that. I was trying to ignore the talking.
Lee: Thanks. I disagree though. There are some glaring mistakes in there.
Chris: Neither would I. All down to Andy.
amber: I know what I’m getting your for Xmas. A thesaurus. Thanks
Andy: Thanks. If you’ve got any more ridiculous suggestions, let me know.
I have HUNDREDS of ridiculous suggestions!
Absolute genius! Cheers!
You’re welcome, West.
I was listening to James Hill last night and he has a version of this song on “On the Other Hand”.
I guess that puts Andy in good company
Lonna: James Hill’s stuff really needs to be released in this country. Perhaps I should start a record label.*
*Not gonna happen.
