From Lonerism (2012). Lonerism is the second studio album by Australian musical project Tame Impala, released on 5 October 2012 by Modular Recordings. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Rickenbacker 330 through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Tame Impala's other songs from Lonerism, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.
