The melody of It’s The End Of The World As We Know It by R.E.M. runs 536 notes across 116 bars, 3:45 long in G at 165 beats per minute. The tab sits low on the neck, mostly under the fourth fret, one note at a time — no chords to barre and no strumming pattern to keep up with. A piano backing track plays the chords and bass underneath, so the line you are learning sounds like the record even at half speed.
