Song: Plastic Tramp Artist: Arctic Monkeys Album: Fluorescent Adolescent This is on the recently released fluorescent adolescent cd. I saw them live two months at the Avalon in Boston and they were insane. I’m pretty sure this is how it goes for all guitars. I put the notes and you should be able to figure out where they go if you just to the song INTRO Guitar 1: Alex Turner E ------9-9-9-8-9-12-12-12-12 / ------9-9-9-8-9-12-12-12-12-| B 7-7-10--------------------- / 6-6-10----------------------| G --------------------------- / ----------------------------| D --------------------------- / ----------------------------| A --------------------------- / ----------------------------| E --------------------------- / ----------------------------| E 14-14-12-9-------12-12-12-- / 14-14-12-8--12-------------| B --------------------------- / ---------------------------| G --------------------------- / ---------------------------| D --------------------------- / ---------------------------| A --------------------------- / ---------------------------| E --------------------------- / ---------------------------| While Alex plays that, Jamie plays this in the background before the verse starts.
