I used to play that song in my sleep, the movies are fantastic... The Pink Panther Theme is pretty cool, its great for an opening recording session, it helps calm the nerves...

Dunno bout fave but worst is "i dont wanna miss a thing" by Aerosmith, it be-littled 30 years of t'n'a rock n roll. Got 15 yo school girls interested for the wrong reasons. They didnt write it either, its there most successful song tho. That annoys me, when people say there fave aerosmith song is that one, when they havent heard "toys", "edge". "cryin" or "sweet E"

Later Axl :)

The Buffy theme... great for practicing octave chords.
The bass from the Alf theme...
Really old ones like the theme from Thunderbirds, the Persuaders or Dr. Who are fun if you can find a midi of em and translate it to guitar. The Simpsons has gotta be the hardest piece to play in the world... those fast runs are unreal.
The theme from Blade Runner done as a dance version, Twister & stuff like the Bond theme or Hawaii five 0.

Have any of you guys heard of a show called "Bill Nye the Science Guy"? It's a kids show thats about science and puts emphasis on making it funky and cool. Well the opening credits have an amazing guitar part... anyone know what I'm talkin about here?

For me, it the theme song from The Munsters!

And then of course there is this... I've never actually seen the show, but it was a kid's tv show televised in the UK that Brian May's (Queen) son used to watch.


Well, years later May called up his pals EVH, Alan Gratzer, Phil Chen and I believe Fred Mandel and this is the result. Starfleet!

My personal favorite movie soundtrack is from the 1981 film "Escape to Victory" (sometimes called "Victory").


I like the whole soundtrack. Not one specific theme :)
