Welcome! Recent Updates/Coming Soon NEW Updates! Hello and welcome to the Blue Casket, which is, as far as I know, the only Grim Fandango Guitar and Bass tab resource that exists on the internet and has done since August 2005! 
This site is devoted to the musical aspect of the game and aims to eventually produce bass and guitar tabs for all the songs
featured on the game's soundtrack, if not the whole game.
Grim Fandango's soundtrack, which can be downloaded from various GF sites, contains 32 tracks from the game,
covering such musical styles as Swing, Jazz, Bebop and Mexican Folk music. Ever since I first got Grim Fandango, I have adored the
music, and hoped that one day I would at least be able to play some of it. I spent forever searching the internet in the hope of
finding guitar or bass tabs, but in the end decided that I should tab out the songs myself, it is something to do after all.This led me to create The Blue Casket, which (as I have already said) main purpose is the tab out the game's soundtrack for bass and guitar. Originally starting off with Freewebs, the site has since then been re-designed and kindly been given a sub-domain under the new and improved Department of Death website. The whole concept of tabbing out the game's soundtrack is now roughly 1 year old, having been planted in my brain around August 2005. Enjoy! I try to ensure that all songs I tab out are more or less correct before I add them to the site. With each tab, I will include the track name and number, and where it can be heard in the game, for those who don't have access to the soundtrack. Bass Tabs / Guitar Tabs / Links Any comments? Email me at daniel_goodman@hotmail.com The Soundtrack Can be downloaded from The Grim Fandango Network, Ninth World, and of course The Department of Death. The official soundtrack (OST) features 32 tracks from the game, as stated in the Intro paragraph. Some may have heard of the PC soundtrack, which is basically every other track in the game which isnt in the OST. Many of these tracks are incidental i.e. they play during a certain event and only last a few seconds at the most, and example of this would be Lumbago Lemonade which is approx 4 seconds long. Recent Updates 17th July 2007 - Added a link to my blog in the links section, may change the layout of the section soon =) 3rd October 2007 - Corrected a minor mistake on She Sailed Away (Guitar), thanks to David Abbott for pointing this out =) Went to the Grim Fandango wikipedia page and found most of the external links removed, including this site, the DOD and grimfandango.net, what gives? 27th December 2007 - Happy Holidays Everyone! Sorry I haven't updated for a while, I'm purchasing a new laptop in the new year to replace my rather outdated desktop. Once I have it all set up, I shall update within the next few weeks, probably with the final version of Swanky Maximino for guitar =) 1st Feburary 2008 - Okay, so I've got my new laptop all set-up now =) I'll work on Swanky Maximino for guitar over the weekend and hopefully upload it on Monday (4th) So stay tuned! UPDATE: I added the bridge section and what else I was able to tab out given the limited time I had. At the moment I'm having a little trouble tabbing out the remainder of the song, which just happens to be a clarinet improvising, however I should have it done within the next few days =) 8th Feburary 2008 - Finished tabbing out the main parts of Swanky Maximino, all that's needed now is the solo. I'm working on it. UPDATE(16th): I've been very busy this last week, but I've managed to complete part of the solo =) Coming Soon |
