Baggy Trousers Medley

A medley of Baggy Trousers (Madness), School's Out (Alice Cooper) & Let Me Entertain You (Robbie Williams).

This is quite a tricky one to play, especially at full speed. I play this with the thumb wrapped around the neck to mute the G string, to avoid having to dislocate my fingers to play the full chords. The struming pattern I use is a constant up-down quavers with strings muted by the fretting hand on the upstrum and chords playing on the down; the chord wants to be quite staccato with the mute engaged quickly. The exception is on the descending chord sequence at the end of each little bit, where I play the chords as they change and let them ring. 3 competent singers required for the full experience. More experienced players may be able to figure out the sax solo; this could also be done on a kazoo or similar.
