iDLEWiLD - Post-Electric Album: Post Electric Blues Guitarists: Rod Jones and Allan Stewart www.youtube.com/user/stuart2407 *****A LOT of time and very hard work has gone into this. Please DO NOT post this on other tab sites***** Tuning notes. At an educated guess, this song would've been recorded on a guitar tuned down one semitone with a capo at the 5th fret. It can be played in standard tuning with a capo at the 4th fret, however the first way I described makes it much easier to play as the positioning of the notes is easier in this tuning...... make up your own mind which tuning to use :) Intro

*The second bar here is a bit weird, this is the closest I could get.
Probably not spot on but it sounds fine.

Nothing really set in stone at this point, just play around with 7th fret harmonics and open strings.
