---------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAST NITE - The Strokes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed By: Chris Parker (Chris_Parker) This is my fourth tab, though one wasn't published. Anyway, I recently got into The Strokes, and I love them. This is probably my favorite song by them. In fact, the first time I heard it was at my cousin's wedding, I'm sure you care about. A general rule of them for indie EQ: Have more treble than bass, keep mids fairly high, or to taste (like reverb), and use a light amount of gain. This is really fun to sing along with, so I'll try to time the guitar with the vocals as best as I can. I think the verse chorda are about four beats per second, so I guess the tempo is like 120 bpm. (They're eigth notes by my "calculations") Okay, here we go, have fun and enjoy!

Awesome song, I hopw you liked it (and that I got it right!). Okay, well if you have any questions or need some help (or want to correct me!), click on my name above the tab and send me a PM, or feel free to leave a comment on my profile page. The only thin I might have off is the doubling of the main riff, that and the amount of repeats, it's kind of hard to decipher. All right, have fun playing this song!
