Nothing Indeed tab by Minutemen

NOTHING INDEED - Minutemen
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Max van Ginneken
Hopefully I'll get around to tabbing all the Double Nickels songs that aren't accurately
on UG. I'm not very good, so it will take a while. First, this tab and Viet Nam. I'll also be
attempting guitar tabs of songs off of "Y" by the Pop Group. If you like the Minutemen, you
should check them out. Watt called them a major influence on the Minutemen, if that adds any
interest.

A few notes: I aim to make this a fairly accurate recreation of what D. plays on the studio
recording. Therefore, notes in parentheses are notes which I would assume would normally be
played, due to similar note patterns elsewhere in the piece, but D. does not play on the
recording. I don't know if these discrepancies is intentional or unintentional, but I decided to
include these notes anyways. There are also a few other discrepancies that I did not mark for the
sake of space.

At the end of the "chorus" before the "bridge", D. slides up the neck instead of down. The bridge
is done much in the same style as the chorus, although here I have mostly only tabbed the notes
D. plays on the recording.
