Kasabian
Switchblade Smile
Joe Morgan

Drop D tuning.

To make my guitar sound similar to the synth that Kasabian use for these parts, I 
activate the bridge pickup and play at the neck pickup. I add overdrive/distortion with a lot 
of gain. I also turn the tone knobs to 0 to make a sort of fuzzy dry sound.

Intro "Switchblade smile."

e|-----------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------|
A|---5h8p5---5h8p5---5h8p5---5h8p5---|
D|-----------------------------------|

Bridge "Can you feel it coming?"

e|-------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------|
A|---5-5-5---5-5-5-6-------------|
D|---------------------0---0-0---|

Remember, it's hard to figure out 1 layer of synth on a guitar, let alone 20 (which is 
what Kasabian claim it is) - so I've only managed to figure out these two main parts. 
Seeing as the song hasn't even been released yet, it's good enough for now.

Please rate.
Thanks.
