This is a very easy song to learn, there are two parts for the guitar tabs in this song.
The first is a sort of guitar chorus which repeats itself a few times throughout the
song in different verses. The second guitar part is kind of a small, repeated solo which
is heard after a quick bass solo. The whole of the guitar tabs are played using only
the D
string, use slides between notes to gain The Xx's style of play. If you want to get an
almost exact guitar tone to the song I would recommend using a tape echo effect. This is
my first tab.
