Hockey Night In Canada

[Guitar Wizard]

Last night I was searching the web for a TAB version of The Hockey Night In Canada theme and couldn't find it. So, I decided to figure it out myself.

I notice that there are quite a few "Canadians" on this messageboard so I figured I would share it with 'em.

Yeah, I spent around 2 hours searching the web looking for a tab or free sheet music of it. I then remembered that I had a "Shuffle Demons" version of the theme and dug it out and used my ear. They do a jazz version around this main melody so I didn't TAB out any more of it.

It looks like you have to buy the original sheet music online to get the full version. I found it here http://www.hockeytheme.com/

It is one of those funny themes that when I am noodling on the guitar with a bunch of people around, I play it and everyone laughs...

(Like playing the Batman, The Munsters, Star Trek themes...)

I am glad at least one person here got a laugh out of it. Maybe when I get some time I will do a monster guitar orchestra version of it with like 7 guitars harmonized!
