The Great Henry Mancini, the Pink Panther Theme.
[Ab] I have this written out in tablature form.
You can download it from the MediaFire site,
which is linked on my YouTube page.
In reading tablature, you will see [Am] four horizontal lines.
The top line represents the first string of the [G] ukulele.
The very bottom line represents the fourth string.
[N] The numbers on the lines indicate the frets.
For instance, at the very beginning of this piece,
you'll see on the third string,
one, two, three, and then four,
[Db] indicating first fret, [Bb] second fret, [Ebm]
third fret, [Gb] and then fourth fret.
[C] Typically, what I do to play this is I [Gbm] just take the first finger,
[Eb] second finger, third, [Ab] and then I slide it up to get the fourth [Gb] fret.
So it [E] goes
[Am]
And that's your [N] opening part of the Pink Panther.
Now, typically, one of the difficulties
in playing lead instrumental ukulele, guitar, bass, whatever,
is communication with the left hand and the right hand.
So, for instance, if the left hand changes strings for the frets,
the right hand also has to change strings to play the notes.
And so you've got to communicate between the two.
It takes time, practice, constant practice over and over again.
And typically what I would do with a tablature
is practice little sections and loop them.
Practice them over and over until they get memorized,
then practice the next section.
And do it in little pieces and then put it together later.
Also, in playing classical guitar,
[Bb] most of the time lead is played with index and middle finger
alternating the lead melody, like so.
Index, middle, index, middle.
If you're playing acoustic guitar or electric,
quite often it's done with a flat pick,
alternating down, up, down, up.
In the ukulele, however,
most performers tend to use their thumb for playing the lead.
So if you're a trained classical guitarist,
this may seem a little odd,
but most all of the lead is played with just simply the thumb.
Now, I'm going to take it in little sections.
First of all, I'm [F] going to go to one section towards the end,
the fourth bar from the end.
There's a little pattern that goes like this.
First fret on the [Ebm] first string, and then you [G] play it open,
but you play it either as a pull-off [F] or just release it.
If a pull-off is done, you actually,
it's all in guitar, it's called the left-hand pizzicato.
It's also a technique used in violin playing.
So you're pulling it, you're pulling off,
and you're actually plucking with the left-hand finger.
[E] Now, just prior to that, you're up here at the 7th fret.
You go 7-5, [D] then you go to the 2nd string, 7-5,
[Em] then to the 3rd string, 7-4.
Practice that little bar all by itself.
[Bb]
Then [A] it follows [Em] up with E minor chord,
[C] C7th chord,
[Am]
[Em] back to E minor.
Actually, most of the song just uses those two chords,
[C] E minor, [Em]
C7th.
[C] It gravitates back and forth between those two chords.
So in the very opening, [Ab] you'll play [Em] E minor, E [B] minor, [C]
[Am] C7th,
then you just [A] repeat it, [Em]
E minor, E minor,
[C]
then you go way up here to the 7th [Cm] fret,
and then go, [Ab] which is kind of an odd form of C minor [Db] 7th,
then [Eb] back, [Em] E minor, E [Db] minor, [Em] [C]
[Am] C7th.
[C] Now play a very sharp and staccato E minor.
[Gb] [Em]
[Gb] [A] [C]
E minor, C7th, [Em]
E minor.
And there you have the Pink Panther theme.
Have fun with it.
Take it slow, take it very meticulously,
and like I say, take little sections and memorize them
until they're really, really [Ebm] solid.
Then you can put the whole piece together.
You'll be amazed at how soon you'll be playing tablature.
[Ab] It's fun, and it expands your repertoire of ukulele [B] playing
beyond simple chords and strums.
[N] Have fun with it, the Pink Panther theme.
We'll be doing more tablature as time goes on.
I'll be doing lots more videos with fingerpicking, too.
[A] Happy strumming.
