GFSA July Challenge

Superhero song

There is a bunch of series and movies dedicated to the universe of superheros, so its only fitting that they get their own theme song. Pick a superhero - any superhero, and make a theme song dedicated to them that would make their enemies tremble upon hearing it.

Normal comp rules apply, except that entries must be around the 1min mark

---------------------------------------------------------------

Submit all entries on or before 27 July at 9:00. Entries must be submitted via EMAIL
Send the following:

1. An mp3 of your song
2. Your username on the forum
3. What category you wish to enter into (Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced).
Send to: adrian.guitarforum@gmail.com

Cool theme; very cool.

Can we have synths and strings playing along with the guitars, or must it all be guitars?

This looks pretty cool!

Looking forward to seeing all the awesome entries!

schizo

Just wanna know its own composition not a cover/remake of a superhero theme right?

Or could you do both mixed in one?

The way I read it, you must create a theme song!

Last week and I've still got jack.

Start with a structure and then improv over it? See what you get on short notice? :-[

Yes - preferably your own, but you are allowed to be inspired by existing themes if you decide.

I've seen what you can do in just a week. No excuses haha 8)

Just a thought - regardless of number of entries, I'd like there to be a beginner's group - even if only one person is in it.

Imho - it doesn't have to be a actual comic (super)hero or villan. That's just the easiest for the listener to relate to?

Genre wise , there's no restrictions - From John Williams/Hans Zimmer for the epic movietrack feel to anything off the crow soundtrack (great album!) to whatever you could imagine...

I have an idea for a super hero.... and his/her theme. Now... just to pull my finger and do something about it. lol.

I may have something. I just got back from Guitar Centre where I traded in my Tele and a Tanglewood for a bass guitar and after jammin' on it for a bit I reckon I've got a melody with some hero potential.

To the lab!!
