SAW THEME GUITAR COVER WITH TABS | "Hello Zepp" by Charlie Clouser

Happy Halloween and Happy ROCKtober!! \m/

Colorful leaves crunching under my feet, the rubbery smell of the inside of a Halloween mask, and the crispening of the outside air are all bittersweet signs of a new time of year.  This season makes me crave a good horror movie (even more than usual).  Out of respect for the new Saw X movie, I decided to cover the Saw Theme: "Hello Zepp" by Charlie Clouser.  I'm excited to share this as my first cover song with you!  

"Hello Zepp" is a simple, powerful composition.  You don't have to be a fan of the Saw series to appreciate it.  The ascending, spiraling short phrase motifs that start this song and repeat throughout leave us with a sense of suspense and inquisition.  Complimenting those phrases are the descending cadences which often symbolize one's demise in the film franchise.  

I put a lot of work into transcribing this song. This is the first time I ever actually wrote down a song I've heard using nothing but my ears and musical experience.  There are certainly several avenues I could have taken when working with this song.  Most of which would have required more than one guitar part.  Ultimately, I wanted to cram as many harmonic voices as possible into a single guitar performance while keeping it true to the original. My gift to you is a downloadable guitar tab with sheet music.  Also please check out the original score by Charlie Clouser. I'd love to know how you think my interpretation compares to his composition. Have a happy, safe Halloween, enjoy the rest of your ROCKtober, and I'll SAW you soon 😉
