For those of you unfamiliar with the concept, the Rag Bag is the page where I stuck all the half finished stuff and bits and bobs that aren’t ready (or, more likely, never will be ready) for the blog. Most of these are requests. Recent editions are:
Devendra Banhart – The Ribbon (Intro) Simplified for the uke but in the same key. MIDI
Bob Marley – Waiting in Vain (Intro) (from Chris Ramos Wong’s version)
Scott Joplin – Bethena (First Theme) (MIDI)
Neal Paisley – Throw Me in the River (Tab) – Very early draft of first few bars. Note the altered tuning: fcfa.
Three Amigos/Randy Newman – Blue Shadows (Intro) in this uke-friendly key.
George Strait – River of Love (Intro) Chords: D and G.
James Blunt – River of Love (Intro)
Beatles – I’ve Just Seen A Face (Intro)
Sublime – Santaria (Intro) MIDI. Loosely based on this version.
Libertines – Don’t Look Back Into the Sun (Intro) MIDI
Black Crowes – She Talks to Angels (Intro)(PDF) MP3
David Bowie – Ziggy Stardust (Intro) (PDF) MIDI
The Cure – Just Like Heaven (Riff)(PDF) MIDI
Jacques Brel – Madeleine Intro (PDF) MIDI The chords are on Chordie. Capo at the first fret to play along with the original.
the In My Life riff still seems ready-for-prime-time to me. But I’m glad you left it unfinished, figuring out the four notes at the end of the song was fun for a tone-deaf guy like myself.
