cool song from of Montreal's newest album, Lousy with Sylvianbriar. i basically learned
how to play this song by watching the acoustic version on Youtube. i'm pretty sure this
is how Kevin plays it on guitar. i thought someone would've uploaded it by now, but no
one has and i have some free time rn so i thought i might as well do it.
the song is arpeggiated the whole way through. i'm not going to tab it out, but it's
easy. there are also some bass notes between the chord changes, mostly descending or
ascending, depending on the root notes (for example when changing from Bm to E you play
|-4-2-| on the E string, when changing from E to A you play |-2-4-| on the E string). there's
also this little hammer on on the B string before you change from E7 to A that echoes
the vocal melody. it's pretty easy to figure out.
intro: E7 | E7 | A (here you play 2h3 on the b string and then on the g string)
