Pleura - King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
***Edit - Turns out that Gizz use capos when they play this, at least they do in the music video. I hadn't
seen it before I made this and I never even really thought about it. The tab is still completely correct and
playable but it's not how they play it.***
As with a lot of Gizz's stuff, this song is played on microtonal instruments. I tabbed this out on a
24 TET guitar fretted the same way that King Gizz fret theirs. There will be microtonal notes in this tab
which will be written in brackets e.g. (X.5). For example, the fret halfway between the first and second
frets would be written as (1.5) on the tab.
I tabbed this in the Flying Microtonal Banana tuning as I assume that's what they used for this song too.
It's C#, F#, C#, F#, B, e.
This is a trick song in some parts as its quite fast and there's a lot of notes being played.
Slow it down and you'll get it.
If you notice any mistakes, let me know.
Hope you enjoy!
