An idea for Halloween?

[Matt Wildman]

Some may think this is dumb, which is fine, but I thought it may be a neat idea if we all uploaded a video of ourselves playing a beefed up version of the Michael Meyers theme song from the movie or whatever you want to call it for Halloween this year. Then we could all compare and see what everybody did with the song. Cause I know there are a ton of creative players here that could make an awesome instrumental cover out of it. We wouod all have some time to work on it since Halloween is over a month away. Just an idea. Let me know what u guys think

I’d love too!. I’m not really able to make a proper backingtrack though(it will be guitar pro 6 guitars and drums).

 

[Vasrely Derian]

Great Idea! I’d probably make a decent backing track if I wasn’t so busy with school and practicing.

 

[Dan Shipway]

Someone should play it on an out of tune guitar, that alone is terrifying.

 

[Filip Tomiša]

Cool idea, I’ll try to come up with something.

 

[idssdi]

Thinking about it. I have no idea when Halloween is exactly so if anyone could tell me that would be great. I can try and make something up before that date(even if it is with a loosy guitar pro 6 backingtrack)

I mean you don’t have to if your busy I just thought I’d be cool to see what it sounds like on guitar. I’ll have to figure out how to make a backing track for mine, cause all I have is my guitar, amp, phone and an iPad lol and a speaker too

 

[Jak Angelescu]

I think that’s a great idea!

 

[Richard O'connor]

I wouldn’t mind having a go on that. You got a YouTube link to the song?

 

[Filip Tomiša]

I think it’s this one:

 

[Richard O'connor]

Awesome I’ll give it a try

 

[Dominik Gräber]

Ok, I was sure I already commented here… apparently not. Anyway, I think this is an awesome idea. I’m excited to see all the results on the riffpage around halloween

 

[Josh Wright]

I learned the song years ago as a stripped down just lead version, itd be fun to experiment and see what I can do.

 

[Cedric L]

This sounds great!

 

[Noah Berends]

Yeah yeah yeah!

 

[Matt Wildman]

And to top it all off, feel free to wear your favorite Halloween mask in your video?

So I kinda wrote the backingtrack for my Halloween song a couple weeks back and today I was finally doing the solos. Turns out the harmony I put is completely different than I intended(which makes it better TBH). Instead of the whole thing being G phrygian dominant. You first have the intro which is kind of weird Key signature wise than you have a part which actually kind is in G phrygian dominant then another part that kinda is in G phrygian and a last part which is in C harmonic major(granted that’s the same notes as G phrygian dominant).
Now why did I say it kinda is in ‘insert key signature here’. Well in the G phrygian dominant part there’s a Dm#5 which is not in phrygian dominant and I in G Phrygian there’s C# which is not in G phrygian. And there’s me thinking it actually is and struggling for an hour or so. After finally checking the harmony I see that I was wrong with my keys and have been kinda stupid while writing it(it’s a happy accident though). Now that I figured this out mine should be out on Wednesday

WHOOOOOLE lotta theory Ids XD thanks for the little lesson tho. I’ll try detuning my strat and playing while holding down the whammy bar just a little, I tried that on Buried Alive and it sounded creepy asf. Just not sure if I have enough time to learn it but I’ll try my best

 

[Filip Tomiša]

That’s too much theory for me
