------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the original MTV theme song! It's pretty short since it was used between videos as the Station ID - you may remember this classic MTV Moon clip... YouTube link titled: "MTV Moon Landing": Tabbed by: Travis_Morgan Please RATE this TAB ! Thanks ! E-mail: [email protected] Tuning: Standard Performance Notes: This is an Instrumental Theme Song for MTV (no lyrics). There are 2 guitars, bass guitar, and drums on this track. The primary guitar part is tabbed as Guitar 1 (Tone: Distorted with some light Reverb), and occasionally a second guitar (Tone: a little Cleaner sounding) supplements the riff with a couple of "walking" lines. The bass you can barely hear but is essentially just playing the root notes of what Guitar 1 is playing. Enjoy !
