The original Terminator theme was written by 80's synthesizer composer, Brad Fiedel. Even though he composed a lot of movie scores through the 80's and early 90's, The Terminator theme was the defining work of his career. The best version of this theme song is Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
When I received my first guitar in 1991, at age 13, the Terminator theme was one of the first things I figured out how to play. Even then, melodies in film music were hitting a nerve with me.
The guitar tab for The Terminator is beautifully written across 3 pages. While I've archived this piece in Easy to Play, I do think the song is better suited to intermediate guitar players and up. I've incorporated the signature Terminator beat throughout the piece: dundun dun dundun. Getting that timing might be difficult for some. I hope you enjoy playing this as much as I do. The guitar tab is available below:
