Outer Banks: Midsummers (guitar theme)
This piece is very obscure, but I had a bunch of folks request this all at once on YouTube, Instagram, etc. Although it’s a great riff — it might only appeal to fans of the Netflix series, Outer Banks. The music (score) for the series is by composer, Fil Eisler. I’m assuming this untitled motif is by him — and I refer to this as the Midsummers guitar theme (season 1, episode 5 of Outer Banks).
It comes off as a nice étude (a French word meaning “study”). This is a musical composition, typically short and challenging, designed to improve a specific technical skill of the instrumentalist.

How to play Outer Banks: Midsummers (guitar theme)
The guitar tab for Midsummers is beautifully written across two pages. Rather than write the interval over and over again, I wrote the interval once (and indicated the number of times played) with dots trailing the interval. You’ll see 6 dots trailing the first interval (. . . . . .) That means you’ll play the interval 6 times. The tab is much easier to read like this.
The interval itself will be played with your right-hand thumb, 1st and 2nd fingers. It’s relentless and fast — so start slow, and build speed over time. You’ll play the passage between the ||: repeat signs :|| twice.
Enjoy, the tab is available below:
