Andrew Callaghan on How He Approaches Interviews
Afinação: E A D G B ETecla: DmCapotraste: Sem capotraste
JOSH HOMME: So let's have a good time, shall we?
[Intro, Dean Fertita (Synthesizer), octave lower]
e|--------------------17--------------------------------|

G|--------------------19--------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------|
A|----5---5---5---5------5---5---5---5-3-5--------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------|
Instead of playing the higher Dm chord (17,18,19), you can just play a regular Dm chord:
e|-5-|
B|-6-|
G|-7-|
D|-7-|
A|-5-|
E|-x-|
which fits better for the groove notes.
Repeat through the verse until the chorus.

Troy Van Leuween (Guitar) & Michael Schuman (Bass) enter.
Then the second verse repeats like the first, until the chorus,
which Troy plays identical as the first but adding an Am chord.

After this, a build section comes, where Troy plays the Dm chord while
Mikey throws some bass variations on the D chord. Some of those are:

[BREAK with Dm chord (Troy Van Leuween)]
As the song has built, Verse 3 comes with more strumming than before
from the guitar, until the chorus. Here, Mikey adds some groovy lines
after the A chord.
