Today I'm looking at the mighty Girl Like You by Edwyn Collins. This is such a fun song to play. The rhythm part is very straightforward and nice and beginner-friendly. I'm also taking a look at the great lead guitar work and those weird envelope filter fills you can hear during the verses.

Tab and backing can be found below. There are actually 2 tab charts - one for the rhythm parts and one for the lead. And also 2 backing tracks - one is just bass and drums for rhythm guitar practice, and the other includes the rhythm part for those of you who want to solo along.

A couple of fun facts - I didn't realise until last week that the drums on this track were sampled from a 1965 track by Len Barry - https://www.youtube.com/watch?vtm-7JpcWI

And Paul Cook from the Sex Pistols also played drums on it and can be seen in this great Later performance - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh0Fy-HLIzA

Hope you enjoy it!
