Bloc Party - tabbed by Astat Guitar 1 - E A D G B E (Semi-distorted) Guitar 2 - E A D G B E (Semi-distorted) *Note* All guitars on this track are Fender Telecasters. Use the bridge pickup unless otherwise noted. The instrumental bed for this track comes from "Banquet" by Bloc Party, hence the song title. The guitar work in the verses of Banquet is played in a call-and-response fashion between two guitars, and that's the section Mike used here. During the intro, the "normal" version of Banquet is played in the background while Apathy "does the intro on this shit," as Mike put it. After a couple repeats, the original instrumental track gradually slows down like a turntable losing power. Then the main bulk of the song kicks in, which is a chopped-up arrangement of the original guitar parts, which is played with a dotted/swing rhythm, as opposed to the intro, which follows the original track's standard 4/4 time signature. I haven't changed the notation to account for the rhythmic change (I typically tab dotted/swing rhythms as if they're still played "straight"), but the feel should be pretty easy to pick up on, as the entire rest of the song follows it. There are a couple spots where the guitar briefly cuts out, otherwise it's just one looping part for the rest of the song.
