I thought while I had my baritone out for the Jonsi tab, I’d do a long overdue post of Patrick Wolf’s Gypsy King.
The first thing you’ll have to do is retune the uke. The tuning is DGCE – so you need to tune the B-string up a semitone.
The time signature of it is a little tricksy. 6/8 is the way it makes most sense to me. But I’m not really to be trusted in such matters.
There are only two riffs in the whole song:
This tab is from the studio version which is slightly different from the live version above. In the blank bar he does a few pull-offs from the third fret on the E string. And in the chorus he just strums out the chords that are picked in the studio version.
What would be the difference really if you took a tenor guitar and changed the low D string to a high one, making it reentrant? What are the differences between a baritone uke and a tenor guitar? The materials used for the body and strings?
