    Default TV theme

    I don't know where the proper board is to put this so I'll post it here. Some of my co-workers are always humming this melody to Game of Thrones so I decided to learn it. Played on bouzouki and mandolin (with a bit of ukulele).



    I know the show has some controversial material, but we are here for the music, right??

    These instruments seem more appropriate to Westeros than the bowed strings in the production version. Plucked instruments like harps and flute variations are most of what you see and read about.

    I know zero about that show. I've heard that theme music somewhere though, at least it sounds vaguely familiar.
    Your rendition of it is excellent and the instruments you used seem to blend really well with each other and fit perfectly with the piece.

    Man... the more I listen to that, I'd seriously think about sending that to the producers of the show. That is so appropriate to the "era" and it's got some real potential for a production version. Seriously, it would not hurt bro.
