• Song:

    Bad Taste In My Mouth

  • Artist:

    The Kooks

Hi guys, I couldn't find a version of this song which included the Bridge part, which is
favorite in this song, so I decided to transcribe it myself.

Pretty simple song, the Kooks plays it in G-major. I've included the intro roughly, you 
ALWAYS listen for the rythm of the guitar and try to find your own way of playing it.

Enjoy, Callon
