Hey guys

I've entered a competition here in the UK with Skylark Guitars where you enter a video of you playing one of their instruments to show what it can do.

I've gone instrumental, with nothing other than the Skylark uke. I've done Cantina Band from Star Wars Episode IV so hopefully everyone will know it.
It's very short, but it had to be under a minute.

Thanks for watching :)

Thanks Richard!

I thought I'd kept it at normal speed! Perhaps I got carried away LOL.

I LOVE Star Wars, as you may have noticed from all the Lego, Mr Potato Heads and the Darth Vader t-shirt. Hee hee.
 
Tabs

Good point about the tabs! I didn't think of that.

I found the sheet music here:

but you can only look at page 1 for free!

I then found the melody line here, and adapted it a bit:

What I play is more or less this bit. Unfortunately, the two tabs are not in the same key, hence the capo in the video. (I should have transposed it really). I worked out the chords for everything after page 1, and it seems to sound ok (hopefully).

Sorry I can't be more help, I kind of made some of it up as I went along.
Best wishes,
Anna
 
Death Star

:D Well, just so you know, the deathstar you have in your video comes from episode VI, not IV. ;)

That made me laugh! Ha ha. Well spotted, it is in fact the second Death Star. But the first Death Star from Episode IV is on the front of my t-shirt if you can see it. Also, I have a Lego Clone Trooper and Boba Fett on the desk, but hey, it's still Star Wars, right? :rolleyes:

Apologies I couldn't be more help. I do this a lot: make something up then promptly forget it! I have bits of paper and old envelopes with chords on all over my house.

Thanks for the kind comments,
Best wishes,
Anna
