                             Perfect Disguise  - Modest Mouse
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Andrew Stromski
Email:soliloquistami@yahoo.com
Tuning: Standard
NOTE* Some of the other tabs are missing some notes and they are played in
first position which makes them sound slightly off. I tabbed this in a
different position with some more notes that were missing. First tab, but
almost pefect.

TIPS*

Intro:Bar 5th frets with pointer finger, then use pointer finger on fret 4
and hold before sliding down to 2.

Part One: Pinky on 4th fret G string, ring finger on 4th fret D string,
Pointer finger barring 2nd frets on B and G strings. All notes are 8th
notes. The slide down to 2 at the end is the transition to Part 2. (Note
this is not the exact timing that modest mouse uses but it sounds better
when played like this)

Part Two: Sorry if this looks confusing, the () is played the second time
and the [] is played the third time. Bar 2nd frets on D and G string with
pointer finger to make it easier to maintain the ring. The last two notes
of the second variation are played quickly. the last 2/4 is played for the
first two variations and is the transition back to Part One.

Part Three: I gave two options of how to play this, both work really well.
The first is chords (Pick your own strum pattern), the second is an improv
line that I made up, and that line can be molded to your personal style if
you wish to mix it up.
