Warm Foothills - Alt-j
Tabbed by: Mungwati
Tuning:Standard
EDIT:
> This is a tab in standard tuning, so a bit easier than having to go to drop-d.
> Had a fiddle around with an easier picking pattern, doesn't require the palm mutes.
Really love this song and saw that there wasn't a tab floating about so thought I'd give it a go.
My first time at writing a tab, so any help/comments would be greatly appreciated.
This tab is mainly based upon this acoustic version:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nj22HvDRFiM ,
but i threw in the intro from the album version for good measure.
If you have a fiddle around you can adapt this tab to the album version.

Rest of the song follows the same pattern, so give the youtube video a
listen and play along with it and you
should crack it in no time.
