LOTR on guitar!

[aegon IV]

Anybody figured out any LOTR themes on guitar? I just started working out the Rohan theme with the violins.(probably because it was stuck in my head...)

G 2-2-2---5-4---5--/7-2---2-2-2---5-4---5--/7---7-7-7-/9--5-4-

G--5-5--2

This is all i figured out so far. the timing is hard to tab so youll have to listen to the music.

Yeah I can play the Rohan theme too. Here's the Gondor theme.

I love playing Howard's music on guitar. Did you know that if you put one of the disk's of the Two Towers EE into a computer with a DVD-rom drive you can print out how to play Gollums Song for free? Its in the online content section.

very cool. howards music applies very nicely to guitar and is pretty easy to figure out.

I know a couple.Figured them out myself.

For the song Gandalf sings at the beginning of FOTR it follows a very common chord progression.Here we go.

C G
The Road goes ever on and on.
Am Em
Down from the door where it began
F C
Now far ahead the road has gone
Dm G
And i must follow if i can.

Next,the Bridge of Khazad Dum.Not the tabs actually,but the chords.Here we go.

A G A

F C D

F G

A G A

F G A

GOSH!!!

I cannot read these charts!

I played guitar with Eddie Van Halen once before he met Gene Simmons in early 1977 and I cannot figure out what you dudes are writing...

[PsYkOoOoO]

The numbers mean the frets.

The / and \ signs mean to slide up and down.:)

You cant read tablature? It's the stuff that shows how to play songs at the end of most guitar magizines.

Here's Gollums Song:
(In chords)

Intro(As the strings come in)
Gm Bm Gm Bm Cm(maj7) D CM D
Verse
G#m Bm Cm D B Bm Cm D
Where once was light...

Chorus(Same as the Intro)
Gm Bm Gm Bm Cm(maj7) D Cm D
These tears we cry...

Second Verse

Chorus(repeat the Cm D at the end.

This is a simplified verson since a lot of the chords as they are writen are for piano, they are almost impossible to play on one guitar. At least I cant figure them out. :confused:

My high E string broke, that might be tough.

Why so confused at my post man?

[Turin Turambar]

I figured out the hobbit theme, but I haven't sat down and written the tabs for it. Maybe in the future I shall share, but for now it's my precious... :)

I haven't played much guitar lately. My neck is all warped, and any note above C on the high E string is all twangy. Not to mention it gets out of tune if you look at it funny. *sigh*

[PsYkOoOoO]

It might be because they are new strings,or simply lousy strings thats all.
