Author/Artist: The Strokes Title: Last Night Album: Is This It? Transcribed by: Matt Whittaker Email: Weezer1037@cs.com This is an very easy song to play. This sounds similar to the recording. Standard Tuning Wait for guitar intro and then play the chorus like so: ----------------|------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------|------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------|------------------------------------------------------------- -1111111-3333333|------------------------------------------------------------- Play this twice and then play the verse 3x Verse -----------------------------------------------------------|------------------ -----------------------------------0-5-(Let Ring)-2-5---2-0|------------------ -3---3-3------3---3-3------5---5-5-------------------------|------------------ -----------------------------------------------------------|------------------ During Solo -----------------------------------------------------|------------------------ -------------------------------------5555555555555555|------------------------ -3333333333333333--5555555555555555------------------|------------------------ -----------------------------------------------------|------------------------ Those are the only three parts of the song so here is the structure: Chorus x2 Verse x3 Chorus x4 Verse x2 Bass rests for 2 measures Chorus x2 Solo x1 Chorus x4 All intruments rests briefly Verse x2 Chorus Bass drops out and song ends with guitar =========== Strokes - Last Nite MAIN VERSE PART Bass g------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- d--------------------------------------------------------5--(let ring)---5-2-----2-0-- a--3---3-0-3-0--------3---3-0-3-0-------5---5-0-5-0----------------------------------- e----0------------------0-----------------0-------------------------------------------CHORUS PART The chorus part is simply the first bit g --------------------------- d --------------------------- a --------------------------- e ---1-1-1-1---3-3-3-3-------SOLO PART Bass g--------------------------------------------------------------------------- d----------------------------------------------------5---5-0-5---5---5-0-5-- a--3---3-0-3---3---3-0-3---5---5-0-5---5---5-0-5-------0-----------0-------- e----0-----------0-----------0-----------0---------------------------------- Okay basically there are 3 parts, one solo, a few brief rests here and there but really there is FEKK ALL to it. If you just learn these parts and put them in the right places that is all that is to it. STRUCTURE: (all that guitar stuff which is explained at top, then ...) CHORUS X2 VERSE X3 CHORUS X4 VERSE X2 BASS STOPS X2 BARS CHORUS X2 SOLO X1 CHORUS X4 REST BRIEFLY VERSE X2 CHORUS X2 ENDS ON GUITAR Okay that's it! it's very easy to play. i have noticed a distinct lack of Strokes tabs anywhere so if u like 'em and play, then get tabbing ! hopefully i'll have more on the way soon - cheers !
