Ask Me by The Kooks Ask Me The Kooks This is an interesting one. It's off of the "B-Sides & Demos" album. The tuning is "open-D" and there is a capo on the 2nd fret (making it open-E). Listen to the song and play along to master it! The intro is a bit difficult to hear so just play what is shone, but at some open top strings in there once in a while. I'll leave it up to you how you'd like to throw in the hammer-ons/pull-offs too. Intro: d|-7--4--5--2--2/4--5--2--0-------| |-0-2-(0)-0--------| A|-------------------------0------| |------4-(0)-2/4---| F#|-------------------------0-----| x2 then: |------------------| D|---------------------------0----| |------------------| A|----------------------------0---| |------------------| D|-----------------------------0--| |------------------| Verse: d|--5----5---0----0----| A|--5----5---0----0----| F#|-5--6p5---0--1p0----| D|--5----5---0----0----| A|--5--7p5---0--2p0----| D|--5----5---0----0----| First riff going into second verse: D|--0-2-4-0-| then go back into the verse then, play this riff: D|--5-4-2-0-| now go into the chorus! Chorus: d|-----5--7----7--5---5-7-4-2---| A|-----5--7----7--5---5-5-0-0---| F#|-3--5--7----7--5-------------| D|--4--5--7----7--5-------------| A|--2--5--9--9p7--7-------------| D|-(0)--------------------------| Now play the second half of the intro. Third Verse: d|--5----5--5-7-4-2--0----0---| A|--5----5--5-5-0-0--0----0---| F#|-5--6p5-----------0--1p0---| D|--5----5-----------0----0---| A|--5--7p5-----------0--2p0---| D|--5----5-----------0----0---| Repeat riff, and then chorus. Play a few open pull offs. Play the first part of the intro. / = slide up p = pull-off () = hard to decipher whether or not it's played. The Kooks//// www.TAB6.com
