Following a little bit of gigging round Nottingham yesterday, with Blackpigs, the sax player and I came up with two great tunes, wondered if anyone had had a dabble with,

1st one is Liberty Bell (aka theme to monty python)

2nd one is The Muppets theme.

Sax player is rather sickeningly good at just picking melodies and harmonies out almost straight away, but its a bit more work for me! (5 string banjo blue grass style is what we re after).

Any thoughts or tips - feel free to fire them in! (especially if anyone's worked out or acquired any tab!)
