Mac DeMarco - Ken The Wolf Boy from 'Salad Days Demos' (Captured Tracks, 2014) Tabbed and uploaded to Ultimate-Guitar.com by Max Klauber One of my favorite tracks from his demo tapes; definitely shows his talent when it comes to basic rock arrangements. The lead guitar part is fairly straightforward, and I don't think you should even need a capo unless you want to mess around with the chord voicings for the rhythm part. The song is in A, but I think the rhythm part does sound better if you do capo on 2 and transpose to G. It's very likely that this is how Mac played it in the recording. For the main riff, I also recommend playing the notes on the G-string with a pick and fingerpicking the notes on the high E-string with your ring finger. Be sure to sustain pretty much every note to get that slacker- rock vibe that he does so well. (Bonus points for a baseball cap and a Viceroy cigarette.)
