It’s been more than a decade since I tabbed The Simpsons theme tune and it’s long overdue for a follow-up. To make up for it here’s a collection of short tunes all from the golden age of The Simpsons.
Baby on Board
Baby on Board (Tab)
With the song being four part harmony it makes sense to use all the strings for this one. So I’m mostly strumming the tune here. Just a few notes here and there picked out.
I also throw in a few triplet strums inspired by the banjoleling. For the triplets I’m doing: down with index, down with thumb, up with middle.
Skinner and the Superintendent Theme
Skinner and the Superintendent (Tab)
Mostly fingerpicking in this one with just one bit of strumming in bar 5. After the intro everything else is one finger per string picking.
Dr Zaius/Chimpan-A to Chimpanzee
Dr Zaius Medley (Tab)
Two songs bashed together here. The opening, Dr Zaius, song is mostly strumming and the second, Chimpan-A to Chimpanzee, is all fingerpicking apart from the triplet strums at the end. I’m using a different triplet strum here. I’m doing: down with middle, up with index, up with middle.
Mr Plow
Everyone Loves Ned Flanders
Gracie Films Theme
“Get your paws off me, you dirty ape!” Dr. Zaius rocks.
