Song: Pretty Visitors Band: Arctic Monkeys Album: Humbug VERSE: I think it's played like this but with an octave pedal to make it sound an octave lower and that Jamie Cook doesn't tune down to Drop D when it's played live, but it should work well anyway in case you don't want to tune down. e|---------------------------------------------------------------|
