IDLES - Im scum

[Verse][Lead] Playing this part isnt an exact science, you've really got to be generous with the picking and you probably hit both 16 and 12 at the same time in parts. Listen to the song and feel the exact picking pattern. e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-12----12--12--12--12------------------12----12--12--12--12-----12-12-12---| G|-14b16---16--16--16--16r14--13---------14b16---16--16--16--14b16-----------| D|------------------------------12-14----------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-12----12--12--12--12----------------12--12--12----------------------------| G|-14b16---16--16--16--16r14--13-------12--12--12----------------------------| D|------------------------------12-14--12--14--12----------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| [Chorus][Lead] Play the power chord until Joe starts singing "Dirty, rotten, filthy..." at which point repeat this pattern.

It's a bit of a guess but an eduacated one because Bobo plays above the 12th fret alot. Strumming is pretty simple just listen to the song. |----x6---| x32 e|--x----x--x---x--x---x-----------------------------------------------------| B|--x----x--x---x--x---x-----------------------------------------------------| G|--13---13-13--13-11--16----------------------------------------------------| D|--x----x--x---x--x---x-----------------------------------------------------| A|--14---14-14--14-12--17----------------------------------------------------| E|--12---12-12--12-10--15----------------------------------------------------| [Outro] Then theres a lot of thrashing about above the 12th fret on the G, B and e strings. Just trem pick the notes below and it should sound great. Lee is doing his chorus parts. e|-----18N-19N-21N-----------------------------------------------------------| B|--17N----------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| ************************************ | r Release | b Bend | x Dead note | br Bend release ************************************
