I think a funk vs djent version of the A-Team will be a laugh - there's actually a sweet interplay between the rhythm and harmony bits...hmmm

Going to give it a shot

peterleroux Sounds cool. How would copyright etc. work?

There's a lot of these covers out there on YouTube. I don't think it'll be an issue. And if it is, the first thing they do is a "cease and desist" letter. At which point we'll just cease and desist ?

In the meanwhile, let's have some fun!

Since I'm back ,I've got a bit of free time...
Does it have to be ancient stuff?
or current shows are ok?

exsanguinator let's keep it nostalgic this time. We can definitely do a modern one as well, down the line.

Interesting...

So are we doing this?

wern101 Was wondering the same thing last week, been jamming something that's taking shape.

@NorioDS ?

Sorry guys, been hectic and had some personal issues.

@Stoffeltoo you happy to run with this?

V8 least you are prepared... i got nothing

Sounds like fun.

wern101 Dibs on Macgyver... ?

Allll yours ? Though that one fellow did compose a lot of the 80's TV theme's....

studmissile Will be good just to get back into the swing of recording?

V8 wasn't it ol' mike post and ol' pete carpenter's names i recall seeing, i dunno, about a bajillion times on the credits of 80s tv shows as theme composers?

magnum, macguyver, the a team, to name a few or me personal faves.

V8 Allll yours ? Though that one fellow did compose a lot of the 80's TV theme's...

Weeeelllll.... seems a bit more difficult than it sounds...i thought it would be 'chEasy' but... not so much.

V8 quite so. looking thru my itunes i discovered (to my horror!) at least three tv theme albums. thankfully, there was a lot of duplication ito content.

ever had one of those 'how the hell did that get on there?' moments? that was me... on itunes... with all o' them theme tune albums...

wern101 Actually rather intricate things these theme tunes? I'm picking one with a super strong melody, that I know really well - so the rest of it I can fake as long as the melody is recognizable.

domhatch Errrmm, more often than not it's how did that get onto my guitar stand. :sleuth_or_spy:

V8 ... so the rest of it I can fake as long as the melody is recognizable

And now this shall be my plan!! Ha! Thanks for the great idea!!

Ai shame. This died. Let's fix it.

With all the pointy vs paddle "guitar duel" stuff going on, we realise the rest of you aren't getting in on the fun.

So let's make this "TV Theme" challenge official.

? Entries Close: Sunday, 24 June, Midnight
?Rules: Let's keep it simple. 1 track. Your guitar / bass / ukelele / whatever guitar-like stringed instrument you choose. Any TV Theme at least 10 years old.
How To Enter: Record your entry, sign up or log in to SoundCloud, post it there. Then grab the SoundCloud link and reply here with the link pasted in your reply.
?Prizes: The respect and adoration of your peers. Maybe a bit of their jealousy too.

Worried someone will steal your idea if you post it early? Then post your link on the final day. (Let's keep it simple for the competition coordinator, folks!)

Anyone can enter this competition. You just need a guitar and a phone. But any other recording equipment is fine too.

And GO!
