As I was searching for the guitar tab from Hawaii 5-0 as played by Nokie Edwards from The Ventures , I found some interesting details.
Hawaii 5-0 is not some Police Code or Police District , it is just that Hawaii became state number 50 of the USA in 1959.
The song is composed by Morton Stevens . None of The Ventures was heard on the original record ! Western Recorders .
As The Ventures were on tour in Japan during the recording , so studio sessions , nicknamed :The Wrecking Crew musicians , played on the record at Western Recorders.
When Bob Bogle heard this , he took a plane asap for recording the lead guitar part . As Bob could not read music , there was no time for learning the track and also the track is very fast and you must synchronise with the brass instruments .
Tommy Tedesco did the lead guitar part , Hal Blaine was the drummer , Ray Pohlman and Carol Kaye ( the only woman musician ! ) played bass guitar .
Carol Kaye remember : Sonny & Cher’s : The Beat Goes On. She has done more then 10000 recordings in her long career !
It is one of the greatest TV themes ever ! Remember : Gunsmoke , Police Woman , The Wild Wild West , Mission Impossible , etc.
