R.E.M. fue una influyente banda estadounidense surgida en 1980 en el Estado de Georgia (EE.UU.), pionera del denominado rock alternativo e inspiración de bandas de desarrollo posterior.
En la década de los 70, plena era punk, un estudiante de arte llamado Michael Stipe conoce a un coleccionista de LP´s de los años 60 llamado Peter Buck. Ambos se unen a dos músicos experimentados, Mike Mills y Bill Berry, y comienzan a tocar en pubs locales en la ciudad de Athens.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

Notes
TAB Key
b - bend a semitone X - mute with palm of hand U - upstroke D - downstroke
This is mainly a 2 guitar song. Guitar1 is in the right stereo channel and guitar24 is in the left. Guitar2 has a cleaner sound than guitar1.
This song is a straight forward boogie kind of thing in the key of G. The verses centre around G and C, and the chorus' centre around E5 and A5. I was a bit of a 'train spotter' and tried to include all the rhythmic variations (as well as ascii tab allows) because it sounds boring just played with a straight shuffle feel.
The guitar solo has guitar1 picking out the melody, guitar2 playing the backing chords and guitar3 playing a short, descending, 'walking bassline' sequence. Guitars 1 and 3 can be included as one part quite easily but the way all the notes are left ringing I would say there are 2 guitars on the record here.
The timings between the 2 guitars, as written above, should be pretty accurate but check the record for details.
The choruses and 'Do Do' sections are filled out with an Organ (and handclaps)
