Here is the whole of the Arctic Monkeys first official release and number one record.
This tab has been created from the released version, not the demo.
Although a lot is based on how the record sounds, I've taken a lot of it from when I've
them play live and from the video. I dont think Ive seen a correct tab for the solo yet
im pretty confident that these are the ones that Alex actually plays.
I have laid it out as clearly as possible so even beginners can get to grips with it. I
also included a bar count aswell as timings to make life even easier. There's quite a
so it might be worth printing out.
Hope you enjoy it. Feel free to leave a comment. Any extra info or advice, just ask me at
tommyfellows@hotmail.com
I have included tabs for both Alex Turner (lead) and Jamie Cook (rhythm).
