This is the tab for Mayday Parade's and Vic Fuentes' cover of Somebody That I
Used To Know (originally performed by Gotye feat. Kimbra)

I play the best bits of both guitars on my les paul on Drop D and it sounds 
great, probably one of the best covers I've ever heard!

There are also little distortion bits in the verses which I haven't included, 
they're not really that playable so I didn't bother.

The song also has lots of different guitars, definitely more than two 
(probably using pre-amps and loop pedals etc.) so I've used Guitar 2 
to condense these down so there aren't 4 or 5 different guitars playing 
random bits then silent, as for the tone you should play guitar 2 in- 
it varies. Best to just listen out in the song for where it changes and
try and match it.

Rate and comment :)


Tuning: 
Guitar 1 - Drop D
Guitar 2 - Standard or Drop D, doesn't matter.

                  End on either of these notes, they're the same note
                  just an octave above each other. The 23 is used in
                  the song so play this if you can, but some guitars
                  only have 22 frets so I put 16 in to be universal! :)
