“Pretty Bombs” is my favorite kind of Robert Pollard song to play on guitar. It moves around a lot from one part to another, and incorporates both strummed chords and arpeggio figures. I used to consider this to be a song that I would probably never learn how to play, due to the string quartet drowning out the guitar parts in some sections. However, thanks to the availability of some live versions floating around out there, I was able to discern those parts for this transcription!
