Tame Impala
'Flow'
First of all, Tame Impala play their songs in D Tuning which is 1 full
step below Standard. I however, have tabbed this is standard tuning for
your convenience but be warned it may not sound as good as the band!
Also, a lot of people wanted this tab, so please rate it!

hear, it's mainly just improvised bends and slides high up the neck.
Let me know what ya think in the comments folks, cheers!
