Tokyo Police Club- Tessellate (acoustic)

[@johnnyboy2675]

Can’t believe it’s been 12 years, it feels like a Tuesday morning after school

[@gamingseason4252]

I feel it

[@Bradum]

I don't think I've ever heard him sing so well.

[@haroldbreecher6955]

Years later, and I'm still listening to this :)

[@ngalawena]

These guys played this song acoustic in seattle last night without any amplification. huge crowd was silent listening. was pretty unreal.

[@lukepreston8362]

I was there and it was amazing

[@evergreeng.3787]

They did the same in Toronto. It was something out of a dream.

[@jartinmustin]

Not only did this watching this back a few years ago make me addicted to this song, but through this vid I was also introduced to Maps & Atlases. Awesome.

I have watched this song literally every day for the past month. It's just that good. When is there going to be an acoustic version of 'In A Cave?' PLEASE?!

[@livfhm]

When I listen this second time. I liked it ;)

[@musicandbooksloverr]

can't wait for their new album (;

[@zardrobot]

@sweetnspicy17 It's an acoustic guitar pick-up. It just allows him to be amplified.

[@missMichellePower]

[@Rayners02]

[@filmsimp]

[@kukhrovenuh8305]

And still listening

[@Skeleton____]

"Playing at The Music Hall, London on Apr 02, 2011" Fuck yes, i'm gonna be there. :D I can only hope this is played at the concert.

[@WalkOnNick]

he sings better in this than on the recording

[@Skweepa]

....Yep, I think I'm in love.

[@largohungryXP]

i love that hes wearing a a maps and atlases shirt. when i went to see them in chicago (for free!) maps and atlases played before them. so i bet thats why he was so drunk and happy that day

[@kaitlinrose1277]

im in luv

[@brumbot]

gahh I love how he's wearing a Maps & Atlases shirt... I think I like him even more now!

[@BreannaHildenxD]

That voice.

[@niclis]

i really want to know how they went from this awesome acoustic version to the one on the cd

[@sponseredskater]

yeah it's Verse: E Pre Chorus: A,B Chorus: E,A,F#m the chord at the beginning is and E and the bass notes E,F#,B,C# Hope this helps!

[@madistjohn12345]

Does anyone know how to play this? Its amazing. All the tabs are wrong...

[@Browncoat1138]

@RocketJuice1999 Actually I wouldn't be surprised if he used a country scale for the riff. Country-style guitar can sound really cool when used properly. Look at George Harrison. His biggest guitar influences were Joe Brown and Chuck Berry. Chuck Berry might be the father of rock and roll, but most of his guitar sound was based around country playing. I absolutely despise modern country, but old-school country guitar is one of my favorite things to listen to. Some of it's downright beautiful.

[@NatsukeChan]

Wow~

[@EatMoreTacos101]

@Po0nky it makes it close up with no spaces?!!

[@nyashawesson6737]

Still slaps.

[@Ronnysmos]

Where is the tessellate performance on Letterman from 2008???

[@sweetnspicy17]

whats that thing he has across the sound hole and does it effect the sound any way??? im just starting guitar and want to know as much as possible

[@TigerOfTheSea555]

I saw this guy at a Vampire Weekend concert ;D

[@table4glasses]

[@whatisthisice]

@realityismyreligion ultimateguitar tabs actually has it right thats where i learned it

[@alexroy43]

I'd love to play that opening riff... Anyone have the tabs for this?

[@kellysonallison]

Actually he was sick when this was filmed. This is pretty good for a guy who had a cold!

[@JoeCriscola]

theyre called like half sevenths or quater sevenths, i dont know to much about them though

[@cameronk1808]

[@pieskatecrew]

@daisydeadbox yeah im pretty sure i do!

[@Vaultmangary]

i like this version better than the original, plus i like more acustic versions better because you actually get to listen to the song in a new prospective

[@aiikedo]

i love his voice! :D

[@MrTpc1994]

haaaaaaaaaa, hee has maps and atlases shirt on. theyre badass

[@niclis]
