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.

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. e |-x\-----/-\-------------------------------------------| B
