Game of Thrones theme

DiscoStu

Not sure why exactly, but I decided to learn the Game of Thrones theme yesterday. First time I'd played guitar in a couple of months and I'd put new strings on so thought I'd learn a new tune at the same time.

That is quality mate. What tuning are you using there? 

DiscoStu

Cheers! That took many MANY attempts to get almost right!

I've got a week off work next week, I know what I'll be doing tomorrow.  

DiscoStu

It's sounds more difficult than it actually is. Which is a good thing!

Deijavoo

Always.  

Cheers Stu.  Be an interesting idea to get Fretboarders to do interesting takes like this on various songs/themes/tracks etc....

That is a really top job, mate.

DiscoStu

Really? You all get a wow back from me!

octatonic

You seem to be using the same fingerings as 

Is this where you got it from?

DiscoStu

That's the fella! I was watching his Tool '46 & 2' cover and then saw this. Thought I'd have a crack at it cos it's a great tune.

Chuffola

Bravo!

Did you pray to the Old Gods or the New, before you started?

octatonic

Though so- his is a bit different in places.

Actually prefer your version.

DiscoStu

Why thank you! It could be better, I was just chuffed to get through it! I've lost my chops of late.

Snap, I think mine might change a wee bit too, but that's a different story.

Really enjoyed that.

Deijavoo

Excuse my ignorance as a novice acoustic player but can anyone help me as to where else could I find playing in this style?

I don't mean tv themes, more like the way Stu has played this. 

Cheers.

A Wow from me there. I was genuinely impressed.

Wor Lass loves the Game Of Thrones music. So, that's me gonna be learning that!* One hopes one may reap the rewards of a little study. 

*Effortless mangulation of the English language.

DiscoStu
