Guitar piece

[2Sirius]

I've noticed that at least one of the members here is a guitar player. Hopefully, someone can help me out.

I'm sure that anyone who listens to the radio has heard the ad for EHarmony.com. It is ubiquitous where I live, anyway. I love the guitar piece playing in the background. I play fingerstyle guitar, and would like to have the music/tab for that piece. Does anyone know if it is an original piece made for the commercial, or is it a rip off of some performance piece? It's sort-of-backwoods-blues- like sound is a little out of my style, so I don't know any comparable pieces.

Sirius, have you tried going out to their website or emailing them and asking them where they got it and how you can get it? That's the only thing I can think of, not having heard the commercial. Good luck.

2S:

If the music is not an adaptation of some famous pop song--chosen for its immediate sound recognition by a vast percentage of the listeners--then it is likely from a library of music clips produced by one of a large number of music libraries.

If it's a radio-only ad, then it's likely that it's a music library cut. The spot producer can get the broadcast rights to those bits of music cheaper than commissioning original music (as a rule).

I would suggest going to the website of the company airing the spots and make an inquiry of the PR or marketing department. They may have that information, or may be able to refer you to the production company that made the spot.

Unfortunately, the answer may be something like:

Killer Tracks 41, Cut 17: "Steeling the Guitar" Jonathon Hobbs, Composer

which might not help you out that much...but you'll never know unless you ask!

Thanks, all.
I'll try the company, and let you know, if anyone is interested.
