                             Tesselate – Alt J
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:Waldie
 
Notes: transcribed based on this piano tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kP7GF8IRa1c  listening to it will give you a good idea
of how the Chorus should goes since its difficult to pick out from the actual song. The
O’s underneath the tab are for a bass beat on the guitar body if you are using an
acoustic guitar, this is to simulate a bass drum. The X in the verses is for a thumb slap on the
6th string for a snare effect.
 
I welcome any and all comments for improvements

E--------------------------| B--------------------------| G--------------------------| D---5---5-------2---2------| A--------------------------| E-7---7---7-6-5---5---5/7--| I like your version and you can still play the intro riff your way but I hadn't been able to find a tab for the intro that really sounded spot on and I think this is the way that he plays it. I was going to make my own tab but really all I have to add is the correct intro. If you keep it in drop D all you have to do is take make each E string note two frets lower (most of you probably already know that.)
