How to play “IDIOT BOX” by Incubus | Guitar Lesson
Guitar tutorial for Incubus - Idiot Box
Another banger from the early Incubus album, S.C.I.E.N.C.E.
As I was re-learning this song to make this guitar lesson, I realised that I was playing the bridge section of this song wrong! I have corrected the mistakes in this video and in the TAB on my Patreon page.
This track isn't too hard to play, the hardest parts are the verse where you need to slide back up to the 14th fret after playing down at the 1st and 2nd fret and the effects tap dance in the bridge section.
Enjoy my friends and I'll see you in the next one!
