----------------------------------------------------------------------------- GRAND PRIX 2 THEME - Geoff Crammond ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Matthew Needham E-mail: matthew.needham@outlook.com Tuning: Standard This is the main theme song from Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix 2. It's a PC game made by MICROPROSE based on the 1994 Formula 1 season. Recently discovered the song again and have become obsessed with trying to work out how to play it! Hopefully I've done it justice! Cheers! I should really have put GUITAR 1,2,3,4 etc. because you can't play all of this at the same time but you can record each part and put it together as I have done and it sounds MINT! -(28/01/2014) I haven't worked it all out yet so I'll update it when I can! In the meantime, please suggest improvements to make it sound more like the actual song! :) RIFF 1 For the first riff you can either play THIS OR THIS e|--------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| G|-2--2--2-0--0--0-2--2--2-0--0--0| |-------------------------------------| D|-0--0--0-0--0--0-0--0--0-0--0--0| or|-7--7--7-5--5--5-7--7--7-5--5--5-----| A|--------------------------------| |-5--5--5-5--5--5-5--5--5-5--5--5-----| E|--------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| This riff goes on for quite some time and the other parts are gradually layered. RIFF 2 This riff is played from the start along with RIFF 1 and is only played alongside it. Try listening to the song to work out timings. Depending on what you chose to play as RIFF 1, you can either play D|--0-0-0-0--| OR A|--5-5-5-5--| but I'll tab it as open because I think it sounds better. pm - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| RIFF 3 If you listen to the YouTube video recording entitled: 'GrandPrix 2 Soundtrack - Menu 1 Clean Music', you'll hear a guitar come in at around 0:27 with quite heavy OVERDRIVE.

But I did this all in about 2 hours and I wanted to document and share what I'd worked out before I forgot it all! I hope you can make something decent out of this! Once again, any feedback would be warmly welcomed!
