Aphex Twin - Alberto Balsalm (Guitar Cover w/ Tabs)

This is my arrangement of Alberto Balsalm, released by Aphex Twin on his 1995 album "...I Care Because You Do."
I wrote the tabs in accordance to my performance in this video, but they may deviate slightly in terms of phrasing and articulation. The primary bassline/riff is not quite the same as heard in the original recording - I did this deliberately, to separate the registers of the melody and bass parts.
Please let me know if I missed anything on this!

And suddenly an Aphex Twin song sounds like a The Smiths classic. To me, this has so much Johnny Marr vibes, insane.... I really love what you've done there and this is going to be playing on repeat for quite some time. Thank you!

[@JakeSoffer]

Thanks so much! I ought to listen to more Smiths and Johnny Marr now 😅

[@rlxts]

​@@JakeSofferdefinitely self titled smiths vibes

@@vite432 It's what it reminds ME of. And I just don't give a flying fuck about what you think! 😎

[@Simonebardazzi]

It reminds me the Durutti Column!

[@DatingTV]

Easily the best guitar version I've heard of this, fantastic job.

[@headyglassman]

gorgeous rendition. reminds you it's not all bad out there.

[@onyourbike]

Really cool. I love the reverb! That open style gives a voice to each part that’s delicately beautiful.

[@itsnicetoseeyou]

Thanks for including the tabs, you're a godsend

[@userytx]

Best guitar rendition I've ever seen for this song, amazing!

[@btedgeio]

Wonderful. Love the humbuckers in the strat

[@LeavingCaladan]

i think this sounds a lot like something the Durutti Column would record on one of the first records.

[@joacimwarn3808]

Got no words, absolutely amazing!

[@blipblap614]

My brain can't help filling in the percussion.

[@blair8170]

this blew my mind open

[@steve6548]

That was so well done. Beautiful.

[@jonathanhayes7101]

I like this better than the original - the percussion gets in the way of the beautiful stacked melodies in the Apex cut. I saw a comment saying it was like Johnny Marr/the Smiths, but I think it sounds more like Vini Reilly/The Durutti Column.
