Casino Royale

To me, Casino Royale and You Know My Name are the best Bond film and theme song combo. Daniel Craig’s 2006 debut — coupled with the rock muscularity of Chris Cornell was pitch perfect. While the Quantum of Solace has grown on me over the years, Barbara Broccoli (Bond producer/owner) only achieved this parity again with Skyfall and Adele.

The performance above is the theme of Casino Royale. The arrangement is inspired by Chris Cornell’s “You Know my Name” and it’s orchestral variation, Aston Montenegro. I think of it as a “Casino Royale Suite”.

The guitar tab for this piece is beautifully written across 4 pages. I recommend this piece for intermediate guitar players and up.

I worked on different drafts of this song for a week before settling on this configuration. My song structure looks like this in accordance with the guitar tab:

Intro, Chorus, Intro #2,

Verse, Chorus, End.

Enjoy, the guitar tab is available below:

This piece is tuned: D A D G B E with a capo on the second fret. My guitar is tuned: C G C F A D with a capo on the 4 the fret. The former will work much better for your guitar.
