Dire Straits – Money for Nothing
September 24, 2008
Money for Nothing is one of the songs that made me pick up the guitar (”Money for nothing and chicks for free, you say? Sounds like a pretty good return on some digital blistering. I’m in.”)
I’ve taken a few liberties with this one. I’ve given it a constant G note in the background to give it a bit more stability and taken away a few of the doubled notes for ease of playing.
nice……very nice woodshed,
:)
“Sounds like a good return on some digital blistering…”
nice one, Woodshed.
Mark Knopfler is one heck of a guitar player. I’m happy to see this arrangement for the uke.
Though, you are busting out these guitar riffs way too fast for me to learn them all. Oh, the treachery.
todd: Thanks.
Lonna: You might get some time to catch up. I’m thinking about taking a blog break sometime soon.
Oh! Say it isn’t so! I take back my earlier demise!
Or as we we used to sing when squashed in van along with the PA equipment and no chicks to be seen… money for nothing and your chips for free
:o) Hmm… thanks! :o)
You’re money Woodshed, well done
Lonna: It’ll only be a couple of weeks. I’m sure you’ll manage. I need to get the blues book done and it’s driving me round the bend.
Ukulathiest: I think chips might be even better.
Olly: Erm… you’re welcome.
Zak: I’m staring at these claws and wondering, “How am I supposed to play the ukulele with these?”
hehe – “thats the way you do it!”
does this mean we all have an excuse to buy resonator ukes now?
Okay, okay.
I’ve been needing that blues book real bad so I guess I can manage….
Great tab. Thanks!
I’m sure at the end Sting says:
I want my
I want my
I want my ukulele
