SOLOS (ANTI-SOLOS...)

Play around frets 4-8. Avoid the fret 6. Kurt seemed to at least try to play a Jimmy Page
Solo but wasn't able to do better...:) who knows, at least there's some kind of a scale there.

SOLO
Mostly an improvised anti-solo (I won't tab it, and even if I tabbed it you couldn't play it :P )



I thought I'd put the structure here because this song doesn't have many riffs but it sounds
like it has a zillion...most of them are the same with different drum parts.

the solo is just improvised noise. Do bends high up the neck on the low and high strings. And use some kind of effect on it, like a Short delay with high feedback(like Kurt did) or a floored flanger.

VERY APE

OK, This is probably the only Nirvana song that needs 2 guitars, so it's tabbed for 2 guitars.
The first tab section is for the rhythm guitar:

MILK IT 

Standard tuning dropped down ˝step

The song starts with two guitars playing improvised licks on the high strings and quite high on the neck. No need for tabbing...but remember that even that improvised lick has a certain rhythm. Listen to it carefully. The same applies for the "Guitar solo".

after the drums come in, only muffled strings and feedback is played so I don't mind tabbing it.

That's it mainly. The outro is just noise (first there's silence for few bars and then there's the feedback and noise things like tuning down the guitar etc)

GALLONS OF RUBBING ALCOHOL FLOW TROUGH THE STRIP


Tuning:Standard ˝step down

There's a quiet, overdubbed guitar playing improvised lines under everything (also under verses).
I didn't even consider trying to tab them...the whole song is pretty much an improvised jam,
the choruses are different and Kurt plays the bridge riff first differently than the 3 other
repeats.

SOLOS

Pretty much anti-solos. Kurt used his Echo Flanger pedal set to a short echo to create
sharp sound for the rest of the song. Use "noise fingering" (see guide to anti-solos) and
slide it up and down on different strings.
