A MUSICIAN is taking the internet by storm thanks to his latest creation and the backing of one of America's best-known geeks.

Greig Stewart, 29, from Glasgow, uploaded a video of himself playing the Game of Thrones theme on his NESKeytar, an instrument combining an NES games console, guitar hero controller and a toy keyboard, to YouTube earlier this month.

It has now received more than 215,000 views and has been backed by Big Bang Theory and former Star Trek actor Wil Wheaton, who wrote a blog about it and featured an excerpt from it on his American Syfy channel show, the Wil ­Wheaton Project.
