Automation - King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
This is a tab for the fourth single off the album K.G, Automation. As with the other singles, this song is 
written to be played on microtonal instruments. I tabbed this out on a microtonal guitar, fretted identically 
to the way Gizz fret their guitars (24 TET). This means there will be microtonal notes in this tab which will 
be written in brackets  e.g. (X.5). For example, the fret halfway between the first and second frets would be 
written as (1.5) on the tab.
It's a fairly straight forward song apart from the quarter notes. Some bits might not be perfect as the
guitars are quite buried in the mix in some parts but it's as close as I can get without any live footage.
 
The tuning is C# F# C# F# B e, this is what they used for the entirety of Flying Microtonal Banana so it seems
resonable to assume that they used the same tuning this time round.

Then the same riff kicks in with a heavy fuzz but the ending changes the second time through.

[Verse 1]
Typical crazy gizz delay on the verse, just slide up and down the neck with the delay and you'll get close. I 
think the riff is just played on the bass whilst the guitars just make a load of noise but I've tabbed it out 
anyway.
