Tuning: D A D G A D
Here's my transcription of one of the guitar parts Jake Bugg played during his 'Guitar Moves'
interview with Matt Sweeney on Noisey. It's a small part of his song Strange Creatures, just two variations on
the main riff, the big walkdown that happens about half way through the song, and also the little moody
refrain. Hopefully it's helpful to anyone wanting to learn how to do what he did in the video like me or
anyone looking to tab the whole song (feel free to copy+paste!).

after this point, you can loop straight back into the riff
That's all folks!
