Walk off the Earth/Malvina Reynolds – Little Boxes
Now that Netflix has made its way to the UK, I’ve been binging on episodes of the middle-class meth-dealer show Breaking Bad. I’m slightly concerned about what I’m going to do when I’ve watched them all. The plan is to take the edge off by watching the middle-class pot-dealer show Weeds.
Which brings us to this song which was used as the Weeds theme tune.
Suggested Strumming
I’ve done it slightly differently this time. Instead of say ‘play this twice for blah blah…’ I’ve set it out so you can just do this pattern once each time you see a chord:
d – d u d u
The only exception is at the end of each verse. There do two downs on the F and one on the C7 before going back to the pattern. (Let me know in the comments if you want me to do that more in the future or never again.)
Or you could just do one strum each and follow it with some box slamming like they do in the video.
Twiddly Bits
You can play a version of the slide lick at the end like this:
Which sounds like this:
Breaking Bad is AWESOME! I didn’t know what to do after I finshed it either.
Thanks for the chords and twiddly bits.
I have started to use the term “twiddly bits” with my uke band members. They like it ;)
