Equipment Mike uses: PRS Hollowbody II guitar. Earnie Ball strings. 2 BOSS PH-2 Super Phaser Pedals MXR phase 90 pedal. Mesa Boogie Amps. and probably some other stuff, but i just expect he uses this for this song, maybe some other stuff. I am an incubus geek hehe, i can play lots, so you probably will see many incubus/other bands tabs from me :)
I am positive this is all correct, i have played to the song loads. There are many other tabs, which aren't bad, but a bit off, the other tab of this was the best i've seen. So this is just like all of them put together, but correct!

Intro with phaser, not too much of a phaser
gently strum it with your thumb, so you are always strumming down
you dont have to have the 5ht fret on e but it sounds better

listen to the song for timing, this is played clean. when you put on the 3554 you can put on the g bar chord, but mike does it with the gbe, the same with 3554, but f# chord. ALWAYS STRUM DOWN, THEN UP...

chorus is the distorted intro

i don't think it really matters if you play the A open, because it is so quick you can't really hear it, well i can't.
