Tuning: Standard
This is a pretty awesome song and quite simple to play. I recommend putting the reverb
and playing with a slight bit of overdrive to catch those harsher strums.

This double stop riff is plucked with the finger and thumb. Sometimes they change it up,
the bass take over, but it centres around this piece.

This above riff progresses from the finger plucking, and moves onto a strum. Play around
the main riff and it should sound great; little hammer ons and embellishments really
it come alive. You don't have to use the ones I did but they sound fitting.

These are the chords; the first is played for one bar, the others half a bar each. You
be able to work out the strumming for yourself.
For the rest of the song just play around, Warpaint are a very jammy band, and I have no
what key the song is after working out by ear but try stuff and see if it works; box
and scales should sort you out.
