Spanish Sahara by Foals
Few tabs up already, but they didn't seem quite right to me, pretty sure this is
close if not spot on
Main Chord Progression:
[Fm] [C] [Em] [C] [Bm]
Repeats for the entire song, with only the plucking/strumming varying
I usually hybrid pick the intro, try to put the emphasis on the higher note,
as this is the root
Pre Chorus
Instead of plucking those chords, pick them, increasing in volume
Chorus:
Strum the main chord progression
Second guitar tremolo picks this chord towards the end of the chorus
Second Verse:
Second guitar adds some volume swirls:
Build after second chorus
Yannis plays this guitar part
Then, another guitar overdubs that riff
Outro
[-----]After the above is played, one guitar repeats this 3 note arrpeggio:
occasionally he will throw in some variations, the
order of these is fairly random, so have some fun experiementing
Var 1
Var 2
And we're done, enjoy!
