The Strokes - Gratisfaction Tabbed by ear by Patrick Corcoran. Tab about 95% accurate. (There are two lead parts playing at once throughout much of this song, and while playing this on my guitar I was attempting to balance/play both parts simultaneously to the best extent possible, so both parts are sort of meshed together here in the tab at a slight cost of accuracy.) For a video of me playing this, see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kReOVMSsfMI Lead Guitar Parts Part A: (second lead guitar) --8---7---5---3---3-----------------------------| -10---8---6---5---3----------------8------------| -10---9---7---5---4------------7-9--------------| --------------------------7-9-------------------| ------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------| Part B: / = slide h - hammer on (second lead guitar) --3---5---7----8---5--------10/8---10/8---8-8h10h12-8h10h12-13-12--| --5---6---8---10---6--------12/10--12/10---------------------------| --5---5---9---10---5-----------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------------------| Part C: p = pull off --8---7---5---3---3----5p3-5p3----3--3--5p3-5p3-| -10---8---6---5---3----3---3------3--3--3---3---| -10---9---7---5---4----4---4------4--4--4---4---| ------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------| Then Part B again.
