Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
Tame Impala - Half Full Glass of Wine
from their 2008 self-titled EP

Intro:
The bends in the main riffs are quarter step bends (where it says .5), which is
basically bending to halfway between the two notes. It's used a lot in blues playing
(listen to the main riff to Spoonful by Cream to get a good example). The bend is
only slight, so don't over-think it.

Guitar 1:
e|-----------------------------------------------|
