We learn to play the Arctic Monkeys song 'Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?' from the fantastic album AM.

This is a very easy riff and is best played on electric guitar with around a 200ms delay (aka a slap back delay). We also look at a few easy power chords to be able to play the second half of the song. This song and album were absolutely massive hits, hope you have fun learning it!
