Top Gun Theme (Bagpipe Cover)
For a bit of fun, here is a bagpipe arrangement I wrote and recorded of the Top Gun Theme. The tune from the 1986 film was written by Harold Faltermeyer and has recently been adapted by Hans Zimmer and Lorne Balfe for Top Gun 2.
This was recorded to celebrate the long awaited release of Top Gun 2 and I hope you like it! Can't beat a bit of throw back 80s nostalgia.

Being that it's suppose to be a Military theme. The Top Gun anthem always sounds more epic. When it's played. On the bagpipes.

The sound of the Pipes has been heard any a place a Scottish Soldier has set foot in. They sounded through Flanders, Portugal and Spain. They sounded when we took Mount Tumbledown. They'll always keep sounding. Even now, In Britain's desperate hour.

Those are probably the sound of the 3 drones you are hearing. They are an integral part of the instrument and it's sound. I have the drones playing on the track, but you may find your ear is not drawn to the sound because of the elements in the backing track? Thank you again for listening, and I hope you enjoyed it.
Do you think you can put it on sheet music? I wish I could watch a video and get the jist of the song but I definitely need the notes in front of me🤣

Slow the video Down and just watch him play over and over you will pick it’s up it’s very simple, there not a lot of movements or anything in it it mainly r just straight notes

Thanks for asking but as battaliance suggests try slowing the video down. If it helps, keep a piece of paper to hand and now down the notes you see me play. It is very straightforward. Training your ear so you can pick tunes up without sheet music is a great skill to develop. All the best with it.
