My son has done a fantastic composition on Garageband for Xmas.
The background riff is from somewhere that I can't name, but would like to. So what better than a mystery "name that track" on Christmas day to while away the hours.

The track sounds like it should be by Muse or one of those artists who write TV ads. In fact I am sure I have heard it on a TV ad recently.

The background is a simple four note repeat...like 1,2,3,4 counting as fast as you sensibly can. But shifting pitch upwards after each cycle and then dropping back down after 4 or 5 cycles.

Can't remember if the original tune is on guitar or keyboard.

So come on fellow internet songsters...name that tune.

๐Ÿ™‚

(oh and happy Christmas).

Tried Shazam but it didn't pick up on it. Thanks for the tip though.

Thanks cougar....its not that, less grungy. The opening of this song sounds quite pure and modern...wrecking my brain as to where I have heard it.

Maybe it's from GarageBand? There is a showcase cinema loyalty card advert that uses GarageBand loops. One can assume a work placement made it.

I'm with you there...!

What it reminds me most of though is the early exercises in a "teach yourself bass" book I had ages ago. 1324 1324 1324 4231 [repeat]
