Shunsuke Kikuchi - Goldorak (UFO Robo Grendizer) - Guitar Tab

About Goldorak (UFO Robo Grendizer)

The theme from UFO Robo Grendizer is a bold, march-like piece in C major that sits at a crisp 120 BPM, giving it a steady, driving pulse that guitarists need to lock into from the first note. Written by Shunsuke Kikuchi for the 1975 anime series, the melody is instantly recognizable and rewards clean single-note playing across the fretboard. The main challenge is keeping the rhythmic energy tight without rushing: at 120 BPM the tempo feels comfortable at first, but maintaining even articulation through the melodic runs separates a polished run from a sloppy one. Chord stabs and punctuating rhythmic hits are central to capturing the Soundtrack feel of the original, so accuracy and timing matter more than speed. If the melodic line loses its shape in faster passages, use the Practice Toolbar to loop those bars slowed down until each note speaks clearly before bringing it back up to tempo.

• The melody sits in C major, making it accessible for guitarists of most levels, though clean articulation across position shifts takes focused practice.
• At 120 BPM the march-like pulse demands steady right-hand rhythm, whether you are picking single notes or adding chord stabs for the full arrangement.
• Capturing the brass-driven feel of the original often leads guitarists to use a slightly compressed, bright clean tone to keep the melody cutting and defined.
