"Game of Thrones" Gets A Violin Cover (VIDEO)

Game of Thrones has gone classic. The theme from the book-turned-HBO series got a makeover this week when Jason Yang arranged the score, playing each part himself on both electric and acoustic violin and then assembling the video with harmony intact.

"I'm a huge fan of the show so this one is dedicated to the entire cast and crew, as well as to all the other fans out there!" notes Yang, always the uber fan, on the video's YouTube page.

Season two of Game of Thrones is due out next year. As for Yang, he's thrilled just to get a 'thank you' from their team.

I have read all the books prior to the series coming out. Gotta say that the next season is going to be CRAZY.

If you haven't watched the Game of Thrones on HBO, you missed the series of the decade!

Is he using Violas and Violins? Can't tell what he's playing at the bottom of the screen.

Violins, acoustic and electric. The ones on the bottom are electric.

This is one of the BEST shows from HBO, and that's saying a lot; but we have to wait until spring of 2012 for the next season!!!!! NOOOOOO!!!!!

I would love for them to just keep shooting through the end. I'm pretty sure they know that the ratings will be there and that finishing it without pause would not be risky.

Nice cover. The theme song and opening credits for the show are fantastic and so is the show and books.

Agree.

One complaint about the theme song - after each episode, can't stop humming the melody.
