Queens Of The Stone Age – Anderson Anderson (Guitar Tab)

Video Lesson

Auto-scroll

Here's a rare as fuck song of which no studio recording exists, only a live version that was played at a very early show in February 1998 which you can listen to here. As apposed to the C tuning that Queens are famous for, this song is actually in C# tuning (C#-F#-B-E-G#-C#), which is what I'm going to tab it in. It can easily be played in C though, just read everything you see here as one note up. If you're going to jam around this and maybe improv the solo or something, I recommend tuning correctly or sticking a capo onto your C-tuned guitar, which is what I do. In C# tuning (C#-F#-B-E-G#-C#).
