Tabs (Ver. 2)
Artist: Them Crooked Vultures
Album: Them Crooked Vultures
Track: Warsaw Or the First Breath You Take After You Give Up
Length: 7:50
Difficulty: Intermediate
I had trouble figuring out this song, but managed to get down most parts of this song.
tab DOES NOT include the solo because I mainly improvise on it as it is basic scales in
just get yourself a wah pedal and have fun.
This is my first tab so this tab is far from perfect or anywhere close to the real
but I play by ear, so this is what I managed to figure out, and it sounds pretty damn close.
Not every part of the song is here just bits and pieces that I learned. But if you can
this I think you can get the rest of the song on your own!!
Enjoy, and please leave comments!
Key:
^ = slight note bend
^^ = full bend
~ = vibrato
/ = slide
p= pull off
h= hammer on

With the second part of the riff above, Homme sometimes adds a note in that riff. You
change it up from time to time.
