Is this the greatest TV theme ever? It has been voted so, but personally I would go for the Simpsons (may have more to do with the fact that I don't think I ever watched Hawaii 5-0, and the Simpsons is my favourite show of all time).
Anyway, I did this for a bit of fun. I play all guitar parts, the bass, and alto sax on it (buried in the horn section). On trumpet is Adrian, who has done the odd gig for my jazz band, and on trombone is Stuart, who has done a number of gigs with me. These two guys are quite amazing on their respective instruments.
The drums sound a little wooden, as I am just learning how to programme them using a new software package, and haven't quite got the hang of velocity splits etc in there. When I do I shall go back and replace these ones.The lead guitar may be a little loud as well. I mixed through headphones so as not to annoy the neighbour...and on a quick listen on my laptop it seems a little loud. I will have a listen tomorrow at a reasonable volume.
Lead guitar is my strat, the tremolo guitar is also my strat, both played through the Boss Gt-8. Bass is an Ibanez 5 string I pinched from a friend, and the acoustic is my Maton, mic'd in stereo. For what it is worth I own a Keilworth Alto Sax, which is a lovely instrument. I would love to be a great sax player, but I find it so hard with so many other things competing for my time....

This is great!! Thanks for sharing it!! I'll play it for my son and show him that playing trumpet is so cool too! (he hasn't picked it up since school let out ) Again-absolutely great!!

and it'll probably be stuck in my head now....

That is one cool song Scotty, and you really did it justice!!!

Great playing - the lead may be a *little* loud, but in this piece, I kinda like it because it really makes it stand out from the rest of the instruments...and you play it so well I don't want to miss it! Ack, I'd love to boot that neighbor of yours outta town!

Super job!!!

(I used to prefer Ren and Stimpy over the Simpsons, but that's just a sign of my general mental condition... )

That is sooo cool, I used to watch the show when I were a wee lad and you so got the mood of the tune.

When I grow up I want to play like you!

I love Ren and Stimpy, especially the episode called 'Sven Hoek'...

Captain Grumpy is out so I was able to turn up the monitors and mix it again.
Hopefully the guitar sits a little better in this one.

Da da da da da da da.... cool surf tune! I do remember this show... cool show too. Nice job playing Scotty_b.... that would get em up dancing at any gig. You'd have to put up with the bad dancing moves when people move their hands across their face while making the peace sign, (the classic sixties dance move) but other than that.. it's still worth the effort! Or they might even do the hold the nose and pretend to dive down move... that one's just as bad...

That had just about everything, Scotty, you must have been wearing a Hawaiian shirt when you recorded this one. Cool surf sound at the start.

That is a fun one. Great job.
