Biography:
XYZR_KX (pronounced ‘Scissor Kicks’) is Jon Monteverde, Chicago-based Chinese-Filipino indie-rock/electro-pop wunderkind. From his start as the drummer for the dissonant rockers What Now My Love, he has shown a remarkably mature musicality inherent in his work. With his XYZR_KX project, Monteverde redefines the boundaries of the traditional pop song by simultaneously incorporating hushed vocals, serrated guitars, and chaotic beats.

My first Tab by ear. Corrections welcome.
The intro and many of the C G C F sections are picked. And feel free to move back and forth
between strumming and picking throughout. Particularly the Em/B chord should be played as an
arpeggio. When strumming mostly only the lower strings are strummed, the F chord can always
be played as an F5 power chord.
