Tuning: E A D G B E
artist - glass beach song - planetarium no capo standard tuning this song's in 5/4 so keep that in mind when playing. i've tried to indicate rhythm where i can but bc of the time signature and the especially tricky rhythms in the chorus i recommend listening to the song to be sure. in the main riff (ie the one found in the intro) you can replace the 1 on the D string with a 6 on the A string if you find that easier/more comfortable. this song is pretty damn hard because of the fast notes/odd time signature. also i didn't really know what to label the sections because the song structure is a bit weird, but the timestamps should help. [intro] (bass comes in around 0:54) G|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|----------------| D|--------------------|--------------1-----|--------------------|-4--2-----------| A|-----2-4--2---------|-----2-4--2-4---4-2-|-----2-4--2---------|----------0-----| x4 E|---0--------2-4-2-0-|---0----------------|---0--------2-4-2-0-|-------2-----2--| [verse 1] (1:22, "i would like to explain...")
