------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TERMINATOR THEME - Brad Fiedel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music by: B. Fiedel CD: "The Terminator: The Definitive Edition" (1995, Edel America Records) Tabbed by: Anne Drury Email: zerofret_ad@hotmail.com Date: May 4, 2006 This transcription is based on the acoustic piano version of the Terminator theme, which is played in the love scene in "The Terminator" (T1) **-the tab probably won't make much sense unless you use that particular recording of the theme for reference** (I tabbed it straight from the DVD) The transcription is for two guitars, one playing the right hand piano part (melody) and the other playing the left hand piano part (accompaniment) E

|-0-----------------| A |-------------------| E |-------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: -key of D minor -bar lines indicate measures of 4/4 time (timing is included) -in the uptempo part of the song, Fiedel plays mostly single notes for the accompaniment -- I made those single notes triads in order to fill out the sound a bit more for guitar -in measures 3-5, melody and accompaniment are combined ~...vibrato (This file is the transcriber's own work and represents their interpretation of the song.)
