Love this tune, always makes me smile. Back in lockdown I used the Emma Electronics Okto Nøjs to make a fairly convincing little version of this.

As a longtime fan of the show, and the theme, this was a bit of a gem that I just found …

Have just had a play with that and the melody bits scared the cats lol... seriously though the original theme is possibly my all time favourite piece of music

I just have to listen to the original theme and it's like going back in time.

Troughton and Pertwee were my Doctor's.

I had the good fortune to meet Jon and he was just the nicest guy.

There was something calming about listening to the way he spoke. Absolutely captivating.

I'm trying to do this on bass too.

I have the actual bass line but I'm trying to work out the melody part, so far this is what I've got …


G|-------15---14~~~~17--12---14~~~14-----------------------------------15\14----
D|-12--------------------------------------15----------------------------------------
A|---------------------------------------------12--12--15---13\12---13\12------------
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I think the next section starts G|---17-- 12--15--14-- but something doesn't sound right there, so I need to do more work on it.

And I think I just worked out the rest of the melody.


G|—-17—12—16—14—12-11-12

G|—-19—21—19—17-19—16—21-21—19-17-19—16—14—12-11-12

 

I knew I'd have to go up the dusty end of the fretboard, but I worked this out on my Triad 5, and it only hast 21 frets, so I was right up at the very end of the fretboard!
