Batman Theme


The Batman TV Theme was composed by Neal Hefti for the 1966 Batman television series. Built on a twelve-bar blues progression using just three chords, the track blends spy film and surf music influences into one of the most recognizable guitar hooks in pop culture. For electric guitarists, it offers a straightforward yet rewarding study in rhythm, tone, and the power of a simple, well-crafted riff.

  • The iconic guitar hook was performed by Tommy Tedesco, a key member of the legendary Wrecking Crew studio collective.
  • The song uses only three chords throughout, making it accessible for beginner and intermediate electric guitar players.
  • Carol Kaye, renowned session bassist and also part of the Wrecking Crew, played bass on the original recording.
