Tabs (Ver. 2)

Artist: Nirvana
Track: 8 - 'Milk it'
Album: In Utero

Please note!

To play this song exactly how Cobain played it on the studio version tune your
guitar down a full step, so the 'E' string becomes an 'Eb'.

This tab can still be played in normal tuning although personally i prefer to play
this particular song in drop D MajorD because it sounds deeper and i just like it.
---------------------------------------------------
I have also posted the drop D MajorD version of this tab at the bottom.
---------------------------------------------------
My first tab, enjoy!

(00:14) - While bass plays in intro just improvise with light tapping, pulling off
and experiment with different noises. This is played after 14 seconds.

SECTION 6 - Solo? / Weird scales and notes

NOTE: Palm mute these notes and/or improvise those weird random noises again.
NOTE: This part has improvised random notes of a creepy scale, if you don't
       wanna improvise just ay this palm muted piece. (CBA to work out what he's
       playing because he plays it differently every time.)

NOTE: Now end on this chord instantaneously after the last chord on the bar above,
      and a bit of sliding up the neck afterwards with your fingers on one hand
      and a pick / nail scrape with the other hand... if that makes sense, if not,
      just end on this note and slide up the neck to a stop.

I can assure you that this version (that i worked out myself i might add) when
played correctly does sound exact to the studio version and i hope this helped
you in every way possible.

Any questions on the track, album, tab, or if your not sure on a piece of my tab
just email me at [email protected]. You can call me Joe or J ;)
