Sore Thumb
We Were Promised Jetpacks
Em
When Adam plays live he seems to start playing an octave down around the 1:28 mark – doesn’t happen in the recording, but you can slide down to 7th fret on the B string and carry it on there if you want to vary it up a little:
Meanwhile, Mikey’s there in the background tremoloing away like a madman somewhere around the 15th/14th fret on the A string. He’s pretty hard to hear, so if you fancy playing that part then just screw around with it until you find something you’re happy with.
(y) This continues until about 2:10, at which point both Adam and Mikey trail off to make room for the bass. And Adam’s glorious accent.
Post-break, Adam seems to thrash away at Bm, A, and then a descending series of power chords following the guitar phrase until the song winds down. Again, it’s a little hard to hear so this is my best approximation:
From live videos I’ve seen he seems to play the Bm, A and then play F#m followed by G, with the chord base on the A string:
B|-10-12- G|-11-12- D|-11-12-
Have a play around and see what sounds better, idk Post-break it sounds like Mikey plays some pitchbends somewhere, but I haven’t worked out where (most likely following the main guitar phrase). After 16 bars he starts tremoloing:
This continues until the end of the breakdown(?), where Adam starts playing the main phrase again and Mikey plays single notes:
