Foster The People - Pumped up Kicks (Official Music Video)

More Than Tabs

Hear every part, read it in the notation you prefer, and practise it at your own tempo

Audio Playback

Play the whole score back, or step through it note by note. Every track is synthesised from its own instrument, so a drum line sounds like drums and a piano part sounds like a piano.

Dual Notation

Switch any track between tablature, standard notation and note names — or show them stacked, aligned bar for bar. The same score, in whichever language you read fastest.

Practice Tools

Slow the tempo until a passage sits under your fingers, set the play range to loop the bar you keep missing, and mute the tracks you want to play yourself.

About This Score

Read it, hear it, and learn it — free, in the browser, with nothing to install.

Foster The People - Pumped Up Kicks is a Guitar score arranged by dojiatr.1794 and filed under Alternative / Indie, Pop and Rock. Read it as tablature or as standard sheet music notation, play it back at any tempo, and practise it a bar at a time.

It is written for 1 track, 4/4 time and 200 BPM, tuned E A D G B E and with a capo at fret 1. The tempo is yours to change — slow it down to learn the shapes, then bring it back up to speed.
