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.

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.
HOLD CHORD FOR 4 BARS (1 whole of RIFF 1) THEN IT COMES IN AGAIN AT THE START OF RIFF 1

D|-12>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>-------------------------------------------------------|
A|-12>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>-------------------------------------------------------|
E|-10>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>-------------------------------------------------------|
RIFF 4
At 0:41 a nice riff comes in which is after you've played RIFF 3, 2 and about a quarter
times, you'll know when to play because it will feel right.

B|-----6~-6b-6~-------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-5h7~--------7-5-7~~~~~/--------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|

E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Unfortunately, this is as far as I've managed to get! 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!
Cheers guys,
Matt!
