ldvries | Star Wars Theme, on a banjo @ldvries | Uploaded February 2009 | Updated October 2024, 12 minutes ago.
One of my favourite Youtube clips was removed a while ago :-(
You might know it (it had lots of views): the one with the guy playing the Star Wars theme on a banjo, bluegrass style.
Now, I consider myself an even less serious banjo player than a guitar player, but I have a simple banjo, for experimental purposes. This tune just looked like so much fun, and I was able to figure out a more or less decent approximation of it.
I don't use the same chords as the guy in the other clip (don't know my way around the upper parts of the neck), but I think I might even have got the... eerm... verse?... (as opposed to the "chorus" bit that it starts off with...) down a bit more elaborately than the original.
May the force be with y'all!
EDIT: I just noticed that the original clip is back! Here: youtube.com/watch?v=PQBRSwZiYS4
