Ill try... i guess.
How hard can it be?

... Noteblocks, huh?
I just recently got interested in noteblocks, so maybe I'll give it a shot.

Do you want something original, or do you have a specific song in mind?

Hmmm...
I won't make it, because I am not at all musically inclined...

Posting this idea up here, for those of you intimidated by my list below:
Why note blocks? How about make a song out of minecraft noises? Doors, chests, mobs, all the digging/breaking noises, clicking, redstone hissing, explosions, etc. More original. Might be harder to determine the beat though. This seems like something that would do a lot better in it's own video.

But doing some thinking on note block mechanics.

There are several ways of doing it.
Way 1: External audio synthesizer limited to the range of note blocks would add more variety, but might feel more artificial. You could just make a huge series of very short clips of you hitting every possible note in the same position, then video edit them together to make the music. For clarification, Hobo/Gab record themselves hitting a block in a note, then change the note by 1, then record them hitting it while standing in the same spot,  etc., then sending it to someone who has a song to string them
Way 2 is basic redstone streams with repeaters. Limited by speed of redstone.
Way 3 is even crazier. I am pretty sure there is a way to abuse the .25 clock to make it play in sequence. (The .25 clock is a redstone piston clock that can trigger a note block 40 times a second. WOOO!)
Way 4 is using a traveling item, like a cart or a boat, going over detector rails/pressure plates, to trigger the note block. This has the advantage of being sendable to Hobo and Gab for them to record it themselves in third  person, while both being in the shot. (Two seperate boat streams, offset slightly?)
Way 5 is writing a script to have you hit the blocks, then have an array of blocks in all the needed notes within reach. Run script, character spins around, hitting all the notes. Not sure how to easily script, because MCPing this would be annoying (angles and trig ftw), and don't know any other scripting methods.

Ohh... 1 minute duration?
Thats quite long, as of i already made i short tune that
lasts  about 27 seconds?
Ill try to make it longer!

I said max of one minute, so it doesn't have to be that long. 30 seconds is probably ideal, as it is short, sweet, and to the point.

You sir, are epic.

Now the music would start after the intro, so the music would have to be 10-30 secs.

I founs some EPIC intros premades but I don't now how to edit them.

Were are some I found.

After watching your "Let's Play" videos, I'm pretty sure that this would make the best intro song




Thumps up if you agree!

I hate rap. (Which stands for Retards Attempting Poetry)

Maybe we could do a time lapse of the construction of the letters of our uh.. channel? What is this text going to be anyway?

Also, maybe we should employ the Kiss policy? Keep it simple stupid? Having a black screen with just a little bit of white text showing the name of our channel (And the clicking of a loud keyboard in the background as it types up) might be neat! That's just my opinion though.

And can we check the originality of these intro's? How many other people use these?
