As a guitar professional, I appreciate the effort in tabbing out this song from Incubus, especially after catching their performance at Lollapalooza. However, I have to say that while the intro sounds engaging, it feels a bit simplistic for what Incubus is capable of. Their guitar work often showcases complex rhythms and melodic lines that really push players to expand their skills. I would hope that the full song includes some interesting progressions and techniques that reflect their musicality.
The standard tuning is a good call, but there should definitely be insight into any unique voicings or techniques used throughout the track. Also, I think it's important to urge anyone learning this song to pay close attention to dynamics and tone, which are crucial for capturing the true essence of Incubus' sound. Let's see if the full release elevates the complexity as expected!
