Theme Music - Max Payne 2 Main Theme guitar tab
tabs-database.com[http://www.tabs-database.com.com/]
I called this song Max Payne 2 instead of Max Payne (like the other tabs for this song),
because the theme song for Max Payne 2 feels more developed that the former, which consists solely of a piano.
I'll be noting the general instruments used in the actual song, just for reference.
I find it to be played easiest in Drop C (D,A,F,C,G,C).
The tempo is very slow. My Yamaha keyboard's metronome clocks it around 33 or 34.
I dunno if that would apply to other metronomes, though probably would.
\\ = slide down
/ = slide up
(nothing too fancy here)
~Part 1: Cello Intro
D|-----------------------
A|----------3---1--------
F|------0-2---2---2------
C|--0-3-------------3----
G|---------------------4-
C|-----------------------
This repeats three times, with long pauses in between.
The fourth repetion consists of the same thing, with an added end.
The whole thing is shown below.
D|--------------------------------------
A|----------3---1-----------------------
F|------0-2---2---2---------------------
C|--0-3-------------3--------2---2-3-0--
G|--------------------4--1-0---0--------
C|--------------------------------------
Same as the first part, but with the second half; conludes the intro.
Let the final C note ring, recommended until feedback decides to kick in.
~Part 2: Low Strings
D|------------------------------------------------------------------
A|------------------------------------------------------------------
F|--7-7-------------7-7-----------7-6-6-----------6-7-7-------------
C|--7-7-------------7-7-----------7-6-6-----------6-7-7-------------
G|--5-5-------------5-5-----------5-4-4-----------4-5-5-------------
C|------------------------------------------------------------------
Continue like so, simply moving up and one fret every other measure.
This intrudes just as the open C string is placed in the cello part.
Listen to the song to hear when this part cuts off.
~Part 3: Violin
D|----------------------------------------------------
A|----------------------------------------------------
F|-----------------------------------------6----------
C|--0-7---7-7-8-7----7----7-0--7---7-7-8-7----7----7--
G|----------------7-----------------------------------
C|----------------------------------------------------
This overlaps the previous part after that one has played through twice, I believe.
D|-----------------------------------------------------
A|-----------------------------------------------------
F|-----------------------------------------------------
C|--0-7---7-7-8-7\\2-/7----7-0--7---7-7-8-7/11-\\7----7--
G|--0-7---7-7-8-7\\2-/7----7-0--7---7-7-8-7/11-\\7----7--
C|--0-7---7-7-8-7\\2-/7----7-0--7---7-7-8-7/11-\\7----7--
Same thing, really. Special for all you single-finger power chorders, like me.
Makes nice for metal renditions.
~Part 4: Mid Strings
D|---------------------------------------------------
A|---------------------------------------------------
F|---------------------------------------------------
C|--8-7-0-2-3-0-8-7-0-2-3---8-7-0-2-3---8-7----------
G|------------------------4-----------4-----7-8-7-5--
C|---------------------------------------------------
This part replaces the previous part after its course once.
Itself, it repeats twice, before resuming the previous part once more,
which runs one time through again.
~Part 5: Converging Strings
After that, the strings converge in a pleasant mess of background chords,
and the same tune to the intro (which is all that matters).
This is the specific form that plays.
D|--------------------------------------
A|----------3---1-----------------------
F|------0-2---2---2---------------------
C|--0-3-------------3--------2---2-3-0--
G|--------------------4--1-0---0--------
C|--------------------------------------
It plays twice.
~Part 6: Finale
D|------------------1--0------------------------------------------------1--0----
A|----------3-2---------------------3-2-----2-------------------3-2-------------
F|--0-2-3-5------2--------0-0-2-3-5------2------------0-0-2-3-5------2----------
C|------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G|------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C|------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D|--------------------------
A|------------4-3-2-0-------
F|--0-0-2-3-5---------------
C|-----------------------0--
G|-----------------------0--
C|-----------------------0--
Note: The higher instruments cut off at that open A strings, then a pause,
And then the Basses and Cellos and such finish with a quiet C.
Those final 4 notes before the C power chord are the only things I'm a little sketchy about.
Everything else I'm sure is correct.
Use how ever you'd like, and, y'know, don't do anything illegal. I didn't write this song and neither did you.
Enjoi!
