A short preview of the guitar part that Thom sings over.

The tuning is tentative, and I am not 100% sure about the tuning. I am 100% sure about the groove in 5 and the riff, but the tuning itself is driving me nuts. EDIT: I was right about the tuning. What tripped me up most was the middle part, but in the live versions, Jonny and Thom play two different parts during that section, which explains why the tuning seemed clumsy and unintuitive there for only one guitarist.

I have the notes from the beginning figured out too, but I can't make out any discernable pattern in either left or right channel that repeats more than a few times to teach, so I didn't bother recording it nor do I plan on making my own version up. This will have to do for now.

By the way, my belief is that this is definitely Jonny playing this guitar part. The drums are in four and the guitar is in five. IMO, only he would come up with a five over four groove (see Bangers & Mash tutorial and Pitchfork.tv exclusive version for an example of Jonny's five over four riffing concept). It's a pretty rare polyrhythm for any guitarist unless you're Jonny Greenwood. EDIT: I WAS WRONG. Not a polyrhythm at all. It's a hemiola. A hemiola in ostinato... To explain, this entire part can be written out in eighth notes without any strange beat divisions, however they will continue through bar lines nearly every measure (for the classical theory geeks out there). EDIT 2: I WAS WRONG AGAIN. Thom and Jonny both play this together. But I will still venture to guess it was Jonny that came up with this ostinato/hemiola idea.

we want the chords.. please warren.. you can do it...

[warrenmusic]

@aposovra Done.

[jirdimaster]

Dude the tuning is just drop C, or at least that's how i play it and it matches the song perfectly.

[warrenmusic]

Check out the live versions... Thom is playing in this tuning. You can play it in Drop C if you want, but you will be missing the entire middle section with its power chords on F, Eb, C, and Db. Thanks for watching!
