In episode 118 of the guitar music theory podcast, I play and talk about the main melody and chord changes heard in the Pink Panther theme. I'm Greetings guitar

guitar engineers. Welcome to the guitar music theory podcast. I am your host Desi Cernerna. And today we're going to take a look at, or take a listen to, rather, the main parts heard in the Pink Panther theme. There are some really interesting things going on here with the scales, including

use of pentatonic scale patterns, the so-called blue scale, the full minor scale, some harmonic minor, and there's even some

traumatic half-step movement. It's going to be a very interesting

discussion, but before we get started, let me remind all of my podcast listeners that you can go to my website

of retool and so I was just not able to continue to get the equipment that I was using to work. I should point out though that it worked

like a charm for like, gosh, 10 years and I used that stuff every day so it got kind of worn out.

And I went through this whole process of trying to replace it and then maybe, you know,

I thought maybe I needed to kind of rebuild things and use some newer devices since technology has changed a lot in the last 10 years.

Audio interfaces have changed and digital mixers and stuff have changed.

I tried some new stuff out and it wasn't working and I thought, oh this isn't going to allow me to do what I used to do and then I tried to just replace the old pieces but the old pieces are not available anymore.

They have new models that have different features that don't work quite the same, so I couldn't just replace
