This month we’re looking at R U Mine?, the epic riff monster and lead single from Arctic Monkeys’ fifth studio album AM. The main riff is a catchy single-note line played on the guitar’s lower strings. It’s easy enough for most players to attempt and can easily be transferred to a one-string arrangement if you prefer. Just watch out for the variations on the basic theme; you’ll find fills dotted throughout the verses and choruses, plus an odd dropout here and there.
Our transcription covers all of Alex Turner’s parts plus a few fills
