Chords

From the album 'Animals as Leaders' 6 string version Charted/Tabbed by Ethan Crisp Last Updated: 6.1.14 This is the main riff of 'On Impulse' This is my first tab and it is I think extremely accurate CBA trying to write the rhythm so figure it out yourself It took me one guitar teacher , a guitar pro tab and the software transcribe to get this tab so enjoy :D The main tip for getting it to sound right is to play with a reverb effect but also it let the notes ring out for as long as you can.(After playing a note , dont immediately take it off) Standard Tuning: Main Riff 1: (when sliding from 7 to 9 I slide with my pinky then like roll onto my index finger (im strange I know) but it is awkard)

It is awkward I know but it helps your hand positions , rolling and sweep picking (if you want to) Extra: When Tosin plays it , he plays it using what he calls ''Hybrid Picking''. This is similar to classical guitar where you use you thumb and fingers to play however in Hybrid Picking you use a plectrum instead of your thumb and use your middle , 3rd finger and pinky to strum. For the notes he uses a plectrum , listen to nots in the song which are played a lot harder than the others
