Tame Impala EP by Tame Impala
Released in 2008, written by Kevin Parker
This is where it all began; the first official release by my favourite band
of all-time. All of these tabs are my own work, and have been thoroughly checked
for accuracy and completeness. Every single sound on the EP made by the guitars
is here. I made sure to include everything you hear on the album in this tab,
including all the solos and psychedelic jams.
I hope you enjoy playing the songs and be sure to support Tame Impala in any
way possible. They more than deserve it!
Tracklist:
01. Desire Be, Desire Go
02. Skeleton Tiger
03. Half Full Glass of Wine
04. Forty One Mosquitoes Flying in Formation
05. Slide Through My Fingers
06. Wander

Track 03
Half Full Glass of Wine
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intro:
The bends in the main riffs are quarter step bends (where it says .5), which is
basically bending to halfway between the two notes. It's used a lot in blues playing
(listen to the main riff to Spoonful by Cream to get a good example). The bend is
only slight, so don't over-think it.

And though she will come for you,
But I wander"

For shaking talk so easily,
For hours on end I wander,
Still I don't even..."

Studio banter:
One guitar quietly keeps playing the chorus progression.
"Jay: What were you saying?
Kevin: [laughing] That was like, the worst cymbal ever.
Jay: I don't understand what you're trying to tell me.
Kevin: Sounds like...pubic hair.
Jay: [laughing] You could have waited!
*Jay plays loud drum fill on cymbals*
Kevin: What, Gumby?
Jay: I said, I'm sick of you taking over.
Kevin: Oh.
Jay: I want to record the drums on all our albums, alright? [Kevin laughs] Modular?
Hear that?"
