Halloween Theme

By: John Carpenter

Hope you enjoy the additions! I felt this needed a fun solo section if I was going to make a full tab video for it.

For tones, I used a Metallica-style clean chorus for the main melodies, some Megadeth-inspired leads for the solos, and Black Album-era rhythm tones for the chugging parts. The first section is great for players at a beginner level, and the structure repeats later with an extended outro.

The only difference in that final section is the chord progression B5, D5, E5, F#5, which is repeated for another eight measures at the end.

I played this one on my Vernon Reid signature guitar from Reverend – the same one they sent me for the Cult of Personality video. It’s honestly the best guitar I own, rock solid in tune, and a dream to practice on.

This tune also works great for a teacher-student duo – the student can play the melody while the teacher plays the chords written above the tab.

Tone Screenshots

Here are some of my screenshots, so that you can see exactly how I achieved my Halloween Theme guitar tones. I matching the solo and rhythm section tones from the John Carpenter recording as closely as possible. Patrons can reach out with any tone questions you may have.

Isolated TRACKS (mp3)

Here are the drums, bass and other background tracks to jam along to Halloween Theme. I've also included all of my isolated guitar tracks in case you really want to hear what's going on. Isolated tracks are normally very difficult to find online, and can be very helpful in cracking a difficult solo tab.
