Mad Men Theme Chords

I know there’s a full R2J2 song I haven’t heard yet, but since we’re marathoning MM I had to figure out at least this part.

Rhythm guitar geniuses

Ivy frequently has stunning rhythm guitar parts–a little bit of extra texture, a little melody. Two examples: “Blame In On Yourself” from Long Distance, and Apartment Life’s ”Quick, Painless, and Easy” The latter I’ve been casually wondering how to play for some time so I finally sat down and figure it out. Ivy “Quick, Painless, and
