Game Of Thrones Theme Guitar Tab

[DaveSumm]

On the Game Of Thrones Season 3 soundtrack there is a track called 'For The Realm', which is Ramin Djawadi himself playing the main theme song on classical guitar. I thought it sounded great on classical guitar, so I dusted off mine and figured it out. Here's the tab for anyone else who wants to play it, it's pretty straight forward. I think the theme as it appears on the show is in C sharp whereas this version is in B, if you wanted to play it in the same key you could capo the second fret and shift all of it up two frets.

For some reason I can't get anything that isn't on the lines to line up, so there's a few hammer on's missing, but you can hear where they are pretty easily. Also the last three notes are meant to indicate artificial harmonics.

Enjoy! :)

[Aussie Rob]

Thanks for sharing mate, that's awesome :)

[Sam R]

Thankyou so much, this is fantastic.

Edit: For the last three notes, the harmonics, I don't quite understand the tab - where do I fret for those harmonics?

[DaveSumm]

Sorry mobile users, looks like it hasn't come out right. I thought if I used code it'd all stay aligned but I guess not.

The harmonics at the end; you still need to fret the second fret of the G string, but with your right hand you hold your middle finger over the notes in brackets and pluck with your thumb. So as far as your left hand is concerned, it's being played as normal but you just add a harmonic with your right hand.

from a musican to another... awesome job! I was lookinh for something like that! I'd like to rearrange it for the acoustic bass to play it live with my band

[vassily targark]

if you like this version i will make a tuto, it's an openC minor tuning
