Girls by The 1975 was a really fun 6 second cover to do, although it took a bit longer to sync it all up than 6 seconds 😉 The riff for both guitars is centered around a B and F# chord, one being chord based and the other being a single note line. I used my Line 6 Sonicport with the same settings for each guitar. Actually I originally did this sound for a Fixx tune, but it didn’t fit nicely into the 6 second frame Vine restricts you to.
The TAB shows both parts that are played in the original recording and my Vine, with one small alteration. Because I use a heavier balanced tension string set on my Strat, I left out the notes in brackets for Guitar 1. I found that it overpowered the other notes which were most likely played on a slinkier set of strings originally.

Line 6 Clean into the Line 6 2 x 12 Cab. All the effects shown are active in the signal chain and we’re slightly tweaked. Most of the knob positions are visible in the image, except for reverb. I just used the default preset for reverb as it actually sounded pretty good 🙂
