ScratchSniffScratchSniff Unknown Date
nice try but i got a video of them live at glastonbury an close ups of the guitarist show that the main riff is played a lot higher, on A, D, G, B strings the frets are 16, 18, 18, 16 and uses the low E sttring on the 14th fret - uve got the right structure tho as it does sound right, it is just a tad low in positioning. the bass notes are the same structure - so with this riff higher up they go 16th then 15th on A string then 14th twice on low E. look at the other guys main riff - hes got it right, but the rest of ur stuff sounds right.

Pretty Good. The tuning is in fact correct, as I can play it with the recording in standard tuning. However, the root notes in the pre-chorus are wrong. It should read:

G|------6---6---6---|------6---6---6---|------6---6---6---|------6---6---6---|
