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!

GA The call came in to Party Central GAGA "Meeting of the green and simple," GA Try to tell us something we don't know
Dsus2 "Disturbance at the Heron House" A stampede at the monument To liberty and honor under the honor roll The gathering of grunts and greens Cogs and grunts and hirelings A meeting of a mean idea to hold
GA "When feeding time has come and gone GAGA They'll lose the heart and head for home GA Try to tell us something we don't know"
Guitar 3 plays the same riff in unison with guitar 1, but up 1 octave. This part is low in the mix and is only played 2 and a half times. Guitar 3 joins in on bar 2 of the above riff, when it is played for the second time (bar 4 of the song).
Guitar1 is exactly the same as verse 1. In verse 1 the part played by guitar 2 is varied (the first 3 fills differ from the later ones), in this verse the parts are all the same, and is shown below.
Over the outro section there are some ad-lib lyrics, their postion relative to the repeated riff is shown below.

Notes ------
The intro features 3 guitars. Guitar1 is used to play the riff around the second fret. Guitar2 provides a powerchord accompanyment. Deep in the mix guitar 3 doubles the riff played by guitar1, but up an octive. This can be first heard halfway through bar 4.
The verse sections are nominally the same. Guitar 1 has a clean sound and picks an arpeggiated Dsus2 pattern. Let the picked notes ring as you play them. Guitar 2 is distorted and plays powerchords, these should be allowed to sustain over the picked sections. The verses are tabbed for 2 guitars since the D5 played by guitar 2 rings over the picking part, also the 2 parts have quite dissimilar sounds. These can be combined into 1 part.
For the chorus Guitar 1 plays chords and short melody lines, and Guitar 2 plays power chords.
The guitar solo is quite easy and is essentially 2 different phrases repeated over a C5 to F5 chord progression.
